ABS & Air Bag lights need to be reset

I know there's a way to reset the ABS light and the flashing Air Bag lights. However, I cannot remember the procedures. Can anyone enlighten me?

It was something like, open pass side door, turn key to on position, don't start, press the door light on/off at bottom several times (6-7???) within 10 sec.

But there may be some problem like loose connection under seat or behind dash.

The post posted by semaj, should reset the airbag light. Sometimes you might have to do it twice, the first time you may notice the air bag light flickering slower than normal. In regards to the abs light you might want to have that checked out, not sure if you could reset it thru the same method. Maybe OBDII scanner?? You can rent it for free at your local auto parts store.

To reset/diag the abs light, follow the "Self Diagnosis" instructions in section BR of FSM.

For short: You drive your car over 20mph for one minute. After that you "ground" terminal 4 of the consult connector, turn ignition on and wait for 3 seconds. After that a code is displayed. To erase codes, disconnect terminal 4 from the ground and than ground it more than three times withing 12.5seconds.

See FSM for details, recently a link to FSM was posted.
