I followed the instructions on this thread and used a paper clip to jump it and got 35, 51, 37.

I've attached a picture of the what the service manual says about these codes.
The only thing they all have in common is the Center Airbag Sensor Assembly.
Whats that?

I'm like a total rookie to this sorta stuff so if anyone out there with some knowledge or experience can help me i'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Was your car in an accident?

35 is the seat position sensor, which is a device mounted to the bottom of the driver's side seat rail to detect if the driver is close to or far from the steering wheel.

37 is the driver's side buckle switch, which is a hall effect sensor mounted within the seat belt latch to detect if the buckle is clicked or not.

Those two giving errors would make me first check to see if the connectors are plugged in under the driver's seat.

51 is a short in the steering wheel airbag. That one is most likely due to a bad spiral cable (AKA clockspring), which is the device under the steering wheel that allows the steering wheel to rotate while maintaining the connection to the airbag and horn.
