Re: My airbag lights inside my 2008 Hyundai Sonata want...
No they can only check engine codes and by law they are not allowed to reset any ststems that have a malfunction. A airbag light will reset if the problem is corrected.

check airbag fuse.could have blowed fuse if fuse okay.turn on ignition switch on position the airbag light should glow 8 seconds then go out if not you have airbag fault need let dealership do a diagnostic check.
Do you have the AVC (auto volume control) enabled? If so, disable it and see what happens. If that doesnt fix it, try to do a "hard reset" by pulling out the shunt fuse. It's 1 or 2 fuses in a little yellow thing in the fuse box on the inside driver side, just pull it out a little, not all the way. Your dome lights, door dinger ect should stop working as well, this is normal. Wait 5 min and push it back in, hopefully that'll fix it up.
My airbag light stays on too. It could be a code you could just clear. The Sonata has several airbags. It could be a non working seat airbag, or even a thrown off senser (which is common in this car)! I dont think its worth 80 dollars to fix at the dealership. Go to auto parts store and get it checked.
You might check to see that the tire pressure is correct on all of your tires. Advance auto parts has a scanner they will loan you to clear this code yourself.
You can try disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes or so, then hooking it back up, but usually an airbag fault warning has to be actively reset with diagnostic software.
Most auto parts stores Advance/ Autozone etc will get the diagnostics codes from cars computer and tell you why the light is on and what the problem is if there is a problem.
