Answer
Hi Gorg:

First, we would never recommend having the airbag computer 'reset'.  That's a good way to start a problem...not knowing what you are getting back.
Second, there are specific items that are required replacement items when a deployment occurs or when an airbag light comes on...and there are some items that are "check only".  Check out the website below for the EXACT answers to your questions including fault code charts and reset information. This site tells you exactly what needs to be replaced and how to access them (seat belts & all) on over 4500 cars.  It's a pay site ($14.95 / day), but it's little money well spent to get the correct answers and to see exactly what you're after...it uses pictures, not text, so you can see what you’re looking for.
This is the same website insurance companies and body shops use to determine what needs to be replaced.

Also, there's a free page in this site that tells you which cars need a scan tool to reset the system and which ones can be done without it.

I'm sure this will help you
Good luck
