You can't reset these lights unless the problem has been fixed. If you replaced the alternator and the light is still on. You have other problems. If you took it to a garage, take it back. They replaced a good alternator. If you weren't in an accident and the airbag light came on, with the alternator. Most likely the ECM is bad.

Disconnect battery; turn the key into Ignition a couple of times to wipe out all capacitors; reconnect the battery. This has to reset your board chip.

Reset srs airbag

If the airbag light is on, there is a failure in the airbag circuit, and your airbag may fail to deploy in the event of an accident.
There is no "reset." You will need to have your airbag system serviced.

Error b1034 airbag warning light

This light came on in my car when the alternator went bad. If the airbag system is not getting enough voltage it will show a warning indicator light. Check your battery and alternator to make sure they are putting out enough juice.

Airbag light started flashing after changing alternator. How can I stop this on 1995 Maxima?

u will need the dealer to reset the airbag diagnostic control module, it is holding a code for loss of battery power, this should have been done as part of the repair procedure.

Airbag light stays on

This is common on the beetle. More than likely it's diagnostic trouble code 00591 E24.
It will need to be reset with vagcom or vcds software. A few known trouble areas on the beetle that trigger this light are the seat belt buckles and the wire connectors under the seat. I've seen the connectors get loose and not make contact, and in one case the wires severed from sliding the seat. You might check this before you clear and reset.
Good luck...i hope this helps.
