You can reset your Chevrolet 2500 pickup truck airbag warning light by removing the airbag warning light fuse. Keep the fuse out for 10 seconds and replace it to its original slot.
Turning off the airbag warning light on a vehicle is unsafe. The light is on for a reason, either a bad sensor, or an issue with the airbag. Either way, you should bring this in to a mechanic to have it looked at.
You need to take your car into a service center to get the warning light turned off. The light is on because there is a problem about system.
The airbag computer has detected a malfunction. You will need to take it to a qualified service shop for repair.
If you mean that you have a warning light on, then once the problem that is causing the airbag warning light to come on is diagnosed and fixed, the light will reset itself.
The airbag warning light is indicating the airbag(s) may NOT be functionig. As it says in the manual, "Ignoring the AIRBAG warning light in your instrument panel could mean you won't have the airbags to protect you, (or your passangers), in a collision...have the airbag system checked RIGHT AWAY." Always wear your seatbelt!!! On my 2004 there is a light on the passanger grab bar that indicates the passanger airbag is off. This happens when a child is in the seat to protect the child from the sudden force of an airbag. It can also be fooled by a package or briefcase on the seat. This is normal. When an adult sits on the passanger side the light should go off. This information was an addition to the 2004 manual.
If your airbag warning light is on, try and remove minus on your battery, wait for a couple of seconds and put it back together again. If you are lucky the airbag warning light will not show. But you should have a mechanic to take a look at it, a malfunctioned airbag can be dangerous if it dosent deploy if you crash. And you can only reset the warning light/sensor with a car diagnostic computer for checking and removing error codes, if the first thing i said didn't work. Hope this helps.
