I replaced the front sensors that had disintegrated, checked all connectors took it to the body shop for a repair and asked them to check the cause with no result. I took it in for an air bag recall the light remained on. The dealer told me they could not diagnose a problem with their scanner either. All this began with a truck with just over 80,000 miles. I still have no solution.
