Default 1st time here and question about airbags

I have a 2001 2 door Accent and I just put new airbags and a module in it yesterday.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this?
How do I reset the module? The airbag light is still on.
Could it be a sensor some where? Where are the sensors?

You are the first person I've ever heard of to tackle the airbag system replacement themselves. I'm guessing that you need to connect the car to a code scanner that will reset the error code in the car's computer. Part's store sometimes loan these out or rent them for a nominal charge. Autozone comes to mind. I am assuming that a standard OBDC-II scanner will do the job, but I'll be honest and admit that I've steered clear of airbag errors to let the dealer tackle them.

I agree. The Air Bag system is not something to mess around with unless you know exactly what you are doing have have the proper tools. I would suggest taking it to the dealership.

The work was accually really easy. Finding the location of the module took the most time. Remove the negative battery cable and you can do anything on these things.
I also have an '06 Mustang and a '94 Mustang GT that I work on all the time. I'm the mechanic and machine tech at work, so working withcars doesn't intimidateso much. Of course I don't know everything and that's why I like these forums.

So, will a ODBC-II scanner not reset the error code to the airbag system?
