My air bag light came on for about a day then went off. At the same time i notice the back seat door would not lock or unlock by using the key fob or auto door locks. Since then, the door locks work but the air bag light stays on. Hooked up a diagnostic and shows no errors. Truck only has 30k miles and warranty is out. I do have extended warranty but feel this should not happen at this low mileage.
