I believe that ear and model should have a pending or confirmed DTC indicating a problem with the SRS or "air bag" system?

Need to connect an advanced scan tool and pull codes. However, there is one very common issue with these systems and it's the electrical connector under the seat, (Bright Yellow). Moving the driver seat over the years and road vibration, it's common for that connector to develop a bad connection. Disconnect ONLY the bright yellow connector, check the pins inside for being pushed back or corrosion, clean reseat as needed, reconnect and disconnect a few times to make sure it's getting a good final connection.

Now fire up the truck and see if the light proves out.
