you have another problem. A reset might help, but if there is a mechical problem, the problem has to be solved first.

reset, how to do

service light reset

or you buy my Airbag / SRS Light/Service/Oil Reset Tool
If your car is a U.S. specification, try a stomp test

how to do

Check the battery and alternator voltage.
Maybe your throttling valves need to be cleaned.
