You will need to jump one of the terminal at the OBD connector and ground it to the body ground. This is manual procedure and most of the time it won't work. I'll let you know which terminal.

Eureka!
Sweet!
I finally located a local tech who confirmed the procedure for clearing the airbag light without a scan tool was the same for OBD1 & OBD2 - At least on the 97 Avalon. I make no promises regarding other OBD2 vehicles.
In conclusion, I read the instructions posted on CL. I used 2 different colored wires to help me remember which one was TC / AB & I used the negative battery terminal as my ground. I got it on my third try.
It also helped to have my son observe the cluster lights from outside the vehicle (just in case I had a major screw-up)
Thanks for all the help!
