Mine ended up being the entire curtain airbag in the roof.

Dealer fixed it because it had been in for the same problem like 6 times.

I dont want to have to give the dealer money if I can do it myself but it seems like I might have too

Service Airbag message came up, and I thought I would give this a try. But, both of mine appeared to be plugged in... I gave them a little pull, but they were stuck.

Long story short, my daughter's car was in a bump shop that I have do all of my work, so I called and asked what the code could be, he said chances are it is one of the front sensors under the radiator core support... Sure enough, they let me borrow the scan tool and it came up as B0086 "Front impact sensor internal fault" So I bought a pair of new ones. I got the Dorman, I hope they work.

Update, After crawling under the front of the truck, removing the 4 15mm bolts from the plastic brush guard, and then the 2 10mm bolts (1 each sensor) from the sensors, it took me all of 20 min... Easy job, problem went away after first start...

I had the service airbag message and found the seat belt pre tensioner...? was unplugged.

The pillar cover behind the passenger seat has a rib inside and it had pushed the release clip and unplugged it.
