Is there a way to read the airbag code?

Many of the scanners that can read the airbag codes will be able to do this. Then take a look under the seat at all of the wiring to make sure all is connected and no wires are damaged or pinched. Next step is to calibrate/initialize the PPS weight sensor.

Where is the my airbag reset code located?

The last step for this code if the first two steps absolutely do not work would be replacing the weight sensor. It may be located under the front passenger seat cushion (on the seat, not floor) It could also be mounted to the side of upper back part of the seat.
