You don't need to send the module in to be reset, because there is no crash data to be reset. 
​You will need to find the old seat and remove the original OPDS computer and put it on the new seat. You  will also need to recalibrate the passenger weight sensor.

If the airbag light is on the airbag system is normally turned off by the module because it detects a fault. If you are unable to get the old module back then you would have no choice but to complete a recalibration to make the light go off.

You don't have to go to the dealer for a seat recalibration. Check some local shops that have the capability of recalibrating the passenger seat. Most good scan tools can do this.

I will be happy to assist you, was the vehicle in an accident with deployment? Or were just the seats changed?
