Check the wiring diagrams above the pages where the pinouts were found. And there should be a description of how the system works near the top of the section. I'm kinda busy right now or I'd find the pages for you. If you can't find what you need, I'll search the FSM later.

If there is any kind of electronics near the connector on the sensor, it probably uses CAN or other serial communications.

It looks like the pad is just a bunch of momentary contact "bubble" switches. I'm guessing that there is some electronics near the connector that counts the number of switches made and tells the module (BCM?) that controls the air bag system.
Edit: If I'm right about that, a simulator box would need the electronics. You should be able to fake the bubble switches near the electronics so the box wouldn't have to have a sensor pad crammed in there. OK. Now I really have to go.

Good luck searching
