Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Upon startup the airbag system will go through a check and the airbag light will stay on if a fault is found. The opening and closing of the extended cab doors will over time cause the airbag wires to snap into or break causing the airbag warning light to stay on. The airbags may not deploy if there is an accident and people may not even know that with the airbag light being on if that means the airbag system is working properly or not at all.
