Question Passenger side airbag

Hi all, I have a stripped down 04 reg cab and the passenger side airbag warning light over the radio came on again.
I turned it on and off the last time and it stayed off for a while...but now it's back on.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Before I take the truck to the dealer are there some quick checks I can do?
Should I disconnect the battery to clear the pcm?
I need this truck for work, so I am trying to avoid any down time, if that's possible.

Thanks, Alec

Do you have anything on the passenger seat? Like a briefcase or something? Sometimes when I put my laptop case on the seat, the light stays on...I think because it doesn't quite weigh enough to be interpreted as a person and it doesn't way little enough to be nothing

Almost any light thing on the seat deactivates the airbag and makes the light come on. Jug of milk, bread, etc., doesn't take much

RTFM!!!!!!!
When the seat senses weight less than 80 pounds it deactivates the air bag. So in the event of an accident it would no go off if no one is sitting there.
