Hello,
The airbag light gets illuminated when the on-board diagnostic system detects an issue within the airbag system.
It could be due to a faulty sensor, wiring issue or bad module.
It can also be a faulty clock spring.
In order to reset the light, first you will have to determine why is the light illuminated in the first place. Then take care of the issue.
Best course of action would be to retrieve the air bag trouble codes. This will help with the diagnostics.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
