Default Airbag light comes on after long descents

So, my 98 Dakota airbag light comes on after descending on a downhill coast at higher elevations (OVER 3000'). After the elevation stabilized, the issue goes away.

Get the codes read. See what it thinks is going on.

does the ODDII scan tool read airbag codes?

Depends on the scan tool. SRS codes are a separate system, (supplemental inflatable restraint) and the typical cheap-o scanners won't do SRS, or ABS.
