I don't know what diagnostics you used, but if there was a permanent feed, the airbag would explode.
There is always a circuit through the airbag which ensures continuity, an open circuit will cause a fault.
Need more information.

Have you tried to clear the code? The SRS ECU can throw a wobbly with low battery volts or a battery disconnect.

Ah, if it's intermittent, try checking the connector on the SRS ECU for corrosion. I suppose there is no possibility that the fault refers to the side airbag in the drivers seat? You don't say what year your car is.
