Airbag Code 33 1997 F150

Getting an airbag code 33. PAD light is still functional. Some googling suggests a sensor in the passenger seat belt but I think mine is too old for that. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

LFC 33 on a 97 means the RCM has detected a high resistance in the passenger side airbag module circuit.

Does that mean I have a bad airbag or is there another component to look into?

Thanks.

Could be anything in the circuit. Loose connection, faulty airbag, faulty controller...

That's why it is described as a 'circuit' fault.
