That code on your 2006 is set when a front impact severity sensor fault is detected. Check that the mounting surface is clean (sand paint and rust under it if necessary) and the sensor is securely tightened down. If the code persists either a broken wire or connector issue exists or the sensor is defective. Ive had to replace a number of the sensors in the past. It is very easy to access, open the hood and it sits right there in the center of the condenser on a support bracket.
BTW air bag systems are warrantied for 5 years 50K miles.
