Any tips / DIY??

What happened? Did your car get in an accident?

I know that you can't just stuff it back into here it came out of, the SRS light will stay on.

I would take it to a shop to have it replaced by a professional because god for bid you need the air bag, you want it to work.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a DIY way of fixing this.

NO way to repair an ALREADY deployed AIRBAG. You need a replace:

No 7
There is a way to fool the AIRBAR module but I would HIGHLY recommend to buy a new one or used but still NOT deployed. The change may be a little pricey(by the stealer), but if you follow the service procedure described in the TIS service manual you could probably DIY.
***Always disconnect the battery while dealing with AIRBAGs!***
Good luck

How is it possible to fool the airbag module?

Run a resistor across the connector. I wouldn't advise this though.
