My airbag light won't go off. Showing an error when hooked up to the machine

NoNoN NoneNone20210101

About 2 months ago, my suv had a message alert come on while i was sitting still after just starting my vehicle in walmart parking lot after grocery shopping, saying to check the oil level; oil level low. Also, just recently, march 27th i had to add oil to my vehicle again; 3/4 of a quart low on oil. The very next morning, i had another alert come across my message board saying to check the oil level- oil level low. So i checked it again, it showed at the top of the hash marks on the dipstick as it should. So i'm not sure what's going on there unless it's a malfunction of sorts or a sensor issue. I check my oil when i fill up my gas tank. All of a sudden, my suv was burning/ using oil. I have to keep putting oil in due to a low oil level look entirely too often. I've had to put oil in my engine at least twice a month. And i'm not talking about just enough to top it off, i'm talking anywhere from 3/4 of a quart to 3 quarts or more at times. There are no leaks, no puddles or oil splatter on the bottom of my truck or in my driveway. My truck is having a severe oil consumption problem. I know there was an extended vehicle warranty that was supposed to fix this that expired april of 2021-i did not get this vehicle until september of 2020. Also, i did do the thousand mile test and it failed miserably. No one can tell me if it was fixed or not, but obviously, either way, it did not get fixed or the fix did not work. It is a costly fix and it is a manufacturer fail, not mine. This needs to be fixed before it creates any future problems or years up the pistons in my engine or locks up. Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

My 2012 acura mdx has an oil consumption issue that acura is aware of being a problem, however it is not offering to cover the cost associated with fixing the issue. My vehicle burned through more than 2 quarts of oil in a matter of 1 month. This needs to be a recall as it's a safety issue with the operation of the vehicle. Lack of oil could cause the engine to fail.

While driving down the highway my check airbag system indicator light came on. I reached my destination and turned off my vehicle, i then restarted my vehicle and the light was still on. I took a picture of the light for proof. Still on for 3 weeks now. I checked and my vin is not on the recall list for the airbag.
