You might want to let it sit for a bit, and then recheck. We had a similar issue when we replaced the battery on my daughter's Sierra. The airbag code cleared in about a day. This is a known issue, per other groups of which I am a member, but no one could tell me why it worked.

Also, you could have wired stuff wrong when you put it back together, damaged wiring in the swap out, or a bad wire finally just went when it was jiggled during the swap out. You might also want to check all your grounds, just as a matter of course. Good luck -- electrical demons suck.

That's what I'm afraid of lol. I did put a new battery in the truck after the swap... I'll just drive it around a bit and go from there. Wife scared to drive it cause the light is on

Possibly a damaged front impact sensor or wiring harness. Does your scanner show any of the code suffixes that would tell you which one? (see the video for the suffixes)

Since it's a circuit code you may find a loose wire or bad connector. Worth a try to follow the wires back from the sensors to see if you can find an issue.

Looks like I'll try looking for wires first... And then the front sensor's...

my guess is it's a pinched wire somewhere, probably need to find a diagram of the airbag impact sensor wiring harness and check the harness leading up to the 2 front impact sensors
