If the Airbag light is on then unless the battery was disconnected you have a fault in the Airbag system and the control module turned on the warning light. There is no reset for a fault, you must read the code with a scan tool and repair the problem and then the light will go out.

Can'tyou simply reset and see what comes back, then fix it?
all airbags have the word "airbag" pressed into the plastic. the airbag controller is normally mounted on the floor close to where the shifter is. (inside the console). this may not be true in all types of cars tho
If your secondary restraint system (SRS) is disabled, you will need to reset your airbag module before the light can turn off, indicating the airbags are working properly. A scanner tool can be used to indicate the issue causing your airbag system to malfunction, and clear crash codes and hard data from the airbag computer system. After the airbag module is repaired and reinstalled, many vehicles will sense that there is no longer an issue, and the light will go off.
For the airbag light situation to be resolved you need the airbag code to be deciphered from a scantool that can read airbag codes,,If the alternator has low output it would turn on also the ABS light,If the car was flooded it is posible that the control module did short out its location in in the center bottom console
The code you have indicates that the internal fuse in the airbag control module has been blown; this happens automatically when a short to ground occurs in one of the airbag circuits in the vehicle. This is a safety feature designed to prevent injuries due to accidental deployment of the airbag due to an electrical fault; the module blows the fuse intentionally to disable the system. the fuse is not serviceable; a new airbag module must be installed after the short to ground has been located and repaired. The air bag diagnostic module is located at the center of the dash panel, below the integrated control panel
