Engineering types, why would my air bag warning light come on upon startup when the weather is cold?

Asked by rojo (24179points) December 14th, 2018

Or what passes for cold here in Texas.

When I start my truck the warning light is supposed to come on for a few seconds and then go off.

When the weather is 45 degrees or below it comes on and stays on. This will happen every time. If the temperature goes up above fifty during the day it no longer stays on when the truck is started. Same if the next day, if the temperature is back up then it acts as it should. If it drops below the 45 degree level that afternoon then the problem reinstates itself.

What gives? What do I need to do to correct the problem?
