[image] 07.05.2021-11.38.16 Shared from Screencast.com Yellow light on dash, says passenger air bag. Must take this in to mechanic for check? Any way to try resetting this with the little under-dash port?

I was in a similar situation when I bought my last truck. I bought it used and the airbag light was on. I had the code read by a shop for a diagnostic fee of around 100 bucks or so.

actually it should say air bag is off if you have something on the seat that is not the weight of a human.
