CEL malfunction

Hey all, I've been doing tons of research on this subject and I'm having an issue tracking down what could be the issue with my Cel light/airbag light,

The light no longer turns on, now I've checked the bulb and it works even switched it out for a new one just to be sure, still when I start the car no luck, it doesn't come on.

I've had a few weird and random issues with both CEL, airbag, and over heat exhaust light over the past few months...

One day the airbag light started randomly blinking... Checked the codes it said front sensor lost connection, so I cleaned the connector and the light went away. A few days later the airbag module started the infamous beeping cycle...

So from that point on I disconnected the module so it would stop... So if that controls the Cel as well I'm a product of my own demise... However if it has nothing to do with it, I'm lost because I noticed the Cel stopped functioning shortly after that incident.. So again I checked both lights for air bag and CEL and they both have new bulbs.

Now I know disconnecting the module removes all airbag functionality including the beeping but my question becomes what could have started the beeping in the first place?

Things I've checked:

-All fuses
-All dash lights (all replaced to make sure)
-Connections free from corrosion
-All connections plugged in appropriately
-Tried ten to grd in diagnosis box to force codes

Any and all help is appreciated, I picked up the factory wiring diagrams as well to try and get some insight on my unique issues.

Thanks all,
Paul

Quick bump and after closer inspection of my cluster it is a JDM cluster, meaning it has no check engine light spot.... Which again I have no idea why... In it's place is the over heat exhaust light... So again this could be related to all of my issues
