I think when the seats are too much forward the air bags present a personal hazard if deployed. Check the seat position or the position sensor. Move the seat back and see if the light goes out. If necessary check the wiring under the seats.

BTW, the shop said that I had a code either the same as yours or similiar. They said something about a restraint 'charge' but the light went out while at their shop. What actually happened was while there they moved the seat back. I later descovered why the light was on when I noticed that it would come on each time the seats were moved forward. Hope this helps.
this won't help the OP. his truck doesn't have any airbag stuff in the seats. that all started in 98.
