Another Airbag Light Question?

Guys/Gals,

I have received conflicting answers and wondering if anyone out there knows definitively an answer to the following:

If you have an airbag light displayed on a 95 Fbody (3 sensors and one SRS Comp) will the airbag light reset/go off upon start up if the problem is resolved or is it a fixed code that must be reset by a GM scanner in the SRS computer? The reason I ask is I think I might just have a loose connection and don't wanna waste all my time checking all of them if the light will just stay on if I find and fix one of these.

Any ideas?

I think it is stored in the PCM, but not sure if it will reset on the next start up. Just disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset the PCM and see if the light goes off.

The PCM has NOTHING to do with the airbag system. The system is self resetting and does a diagnostic everytime the car is started. Fix it, and it goes away.

Talking

Ok, just a quick update for all of those who helped me with their advise. I had the radio out this weekend to do some upgrades and took a look behind at the SRS comptuter. And what do I find, the Pass Airbag is unplugged. Plug her back in and like magic the airbag light resets and no more issue. Guess that is what you get when you have a GM body shop do the repairs??? Oh, well it's fixed and thank you all.
