You must have turned the truck on while the dash was apart.  The only way I found to get the light off is one of the 2 options below.

1.) Take to dealer

2.) Find somone with a Snapon Solus (or OBD II Air Bag system capable scanner) to clear the code.  Some hand modules cannot read the Air Bag system codes.

Disconnecting the battery does not clear a Air Bag code.  The code is put into the ECU's history, and due to safety reasons, can only be cleared with the proper module.
