Both this and your previous wrench light are probably related. Go to the parts store and see what they read for codes.
They should also be able to give you the definition.
Make sure they check for pending codes also. Post the codes here and someone will pipe in with more advice.
We are good like that.

Welcome and EBTDM is correct that is your best course of action. The other option is to take it to a shop and have them check it out but then they will charge you. Advance Auto or Autozone will scan for codes for free.
Once we have codes we can help quite a bit.

Welcome...
Why wait or take it to someone to read the code...

Pinpoint Test J: LFC 33 and 34/DTC B2292 — Restraint System - Safety Belt Pretensioner Fault
Normal Operation
The safety belt pretensioners are activated by the restraints control module (RCM) to remove excessive slack from the safety belt webbing when an impact exceeding preprogrammed limits is detected. Refer to Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) in this section.
The RCM checks all of the safety belt pretensioners for faults. If the RCM detects one of the following faults on any of the safety belt pretensioner circuits, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2292 in memory and flash, depending on the fault indicator, either lamp fault code (LFC) 33 or 34 depending on the fault (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.
Fault Conditions
The RCM monitors for the following fault conditions:
A safety belt pretensioner fault can be caused by:
NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough Inspection and Verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test.

- Key in OFF position.
- Depower the system. Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering in this section.
- Disconnect: The Affected Safety Belt Pretensioner C3201 (Driver) or C3202 (Passenger).
- Connect: Restraint System Diagnostic Tool 418-F395 to the Affected Safety Belt Pretensioner C3201 (Driver) or C3202 (Passenger).
- Repower the system. Do not prove out the system at this time. Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering in this section.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: On-Demand Self Test.
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the diagnostic tool: Flag DTC B2292/Record All Flagged Faults.
- Was DTC B2292 retrieved during the on-demand self test?
This is a hard fault. The fault condition is now present. This fault cannot be cleared until it is corrected and the DTC is no longer retrieved during the on-demand self test.
CHECK for causes of the intermittent fault at or near the affected safety belt buckle pretensioner electrical connector. REPAIR any intermittent concern found.
If an intermittent concern was found and repaired, GO to J17 .
If an intermittent concern was not found and repaired, USE the flagged faults recorded and GO to the appropriate pinpoint test step.
If a flagged fault of "?" was recorded, multiple faults exist and the entire pinpoint test must be carried out.
For driver safety belt pretensioner with a low resistance fault, GO to J3 .
For driver safety belt pretensioner with an open circuit fault, GO to J4 .
For driver safety belt pretensioner with a short to battery fault, GO to J6 .
For driver safety belt pretensioner with a short to ground fault, GO to J7 .
For passenger safety belt pretensioner with a low resistance fault, GO to J9 .
For passenger safety belt pretensioner with an open circuit fault, GO to J10 .
For passenger safety belt pretensioner with a short to battery fault, GO to J12 .
For passenger safety belt pretensioner with a short to ground fault, GO to J13 .
No
CHECK for causes of the intermittent fault. ATTEMPT to recreate the hard fault by flexing the wire harness and cycling the ignition key frequently. ACTIVATE other systems in the same wire harness. REPAIR any intermittent concerns found. GO to J17 .
</TD></TR><TR><TD>J17 CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL DTCs </TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none"></TD></TR><TR vAlign=top><TD>
- Refer to the continuous DTCs recorded during Step J1.
- Were any continuous DTCs retrieved during Step J1?
Do not clear any DTCs until all DTCs have been resolved. GO to the Restraints Control Module (RCM) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Table in this section for pinpoint test direction.
No
RECONNECT the system. If previously directed to deactivate the system, REACTIVATE the system. REFER to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Deactivation and Reactivation in this section. REPOWER the system. REFER to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering in this section. PROVE OUT the system. CLEAR all DTCs.

Hello folks:
Thanks for the trouble shooting literature there, great info, but I'm still lost in these overly-complicated SRS fault codes. I have a 2007 Ford F150 Lariat 4x4 Supercrew and also has a fault in the SRS system, the damn airbag light keeps flashing code 33, which is "B2292 Restraint System Pre Tensioner Fault" according to the code reader/scanner. Truck was in an accident but no airbags were deployed, only the passenger seatbelt buckle (aka: "pre-tensioner",.. I think!) compressed, and was replaced with a good used one.
Has any of you guys had this "B2292 Restraint System Pre Tensioner Fault" come up in your investigations?
