Hello
I removed the factory stereo and replaced it with an aftermarket stereo.
Now the air bag light is on. Is there a way to reset it.
Is there anything I can check to lacate the problem.
Thanks

You havnt dislodged a plug/socket somewhere while fitting the stereo?

 

The lamp can be reset with the dealer's scan tool, presuming there is no
actual problem with the system.

Of course, replacing the stereo shouldn't affect anything that will turn
on the air bag lamp in a 2001 Sonata. Did you remove the gauge cluster
while the ignition was on? Did the battery get very low while the
ignition was on?

Thanks Hyundaitech
I did not remove the gauge cluster at all. I took apart trim around the
radio again to check all the conections, to be sure I did not loosen one
of the air bag wires. Everything looked good, then I took apart the trim
that meets the carpet on the passenger side where I snaked the wires for
the sub woofer I mounted in the trunk.
Everything looked good there also. Maybe this is just a coincidence.But
all was fine before I installed the new stereo, and the light came on
right away after the install. I bought this car new and never had any
accidents, so the air bags have never been deployed. the battery did not
get low at all
Thanks for any help you can offer

There shouldn't be anything in question behind the radio. There's an
impact sensor on the passenger side as well as a seat belt pretensioner.
Check to make sure the connectors didn't come off of these. If you
unplugged either with the key on, it would have caused the air bag lamp to
come on. I'm presuming you disconnected nothing under the front seat
(which would also cause an air bag lamp if unplugged with the key on).
