Default Air bag light comes on at start-up, and stays lit for about 2 mins - Can I reset the air bag comp.?

I made a long trip this weekend and had a chance to realize, as a result, all of the problems my '95 90 has. Actually, there are very few problems, but problems nonetheless. I already replaced the 15 interior/dash bulbs that were burned-out, including de-soldering and soldering the outdoor temp. LCD's LED.

I realized yesterday that when you start the vehicle up, USUALLY the 'air bag' light stays lit for about two minutes after you start driving. Now it didn't do this when I bought it five days ago, aka: 1000+ miles ago. BUT, note that above I mentioned having taken the dsh apart to replace bulbs. I wasn't even close to the air bag control module in the center console, so I'm not sure what gives.

Is there some way to reset the ABCM?

I have no idea, but I'm sure someone here does. HELP!

Thanks

You won't need to replace the airbag...just the coil spring
