You need to replace the control module. I'm not for sure where its located, on most cars its located under the driver seat or under the middle consoule. You need to replace the air bag sensors which are going to be located on the core support behind the front bumper. There are usually 2 and to be safe, you need to replace both of them. They will have a yellow wire lume running to them and they are usually mounted with 2 10mm bolts. Just make sure you disarm the system while doing the repairs. You need to disconnect the battery before doing these repairs and make sure everything is pluged in and all the bolts are back where they need to ben before plugging it back up.
