Are you the original owner? If not was it on when you got it?
Might be a sensor .

Are you carrying anything heavy in the seat? Mine has a light that comes on if there's something in the seat that's not "heavy enough to be an adult" similar to most pickups (it's the disable automatically if there's a little kid there feature). Granted, I have a KJ, so your lights may be different. The owner's manual should have a description of exactly what every dash light is. That'll tell you if it's a fault or just reporting a condition like what I described.

^^^ Good advice right there.
Has any work been done on the vehicle lately?

Mine come on and stayed on. There's a recall for the head restraint airbag. I just haven't taken mine in yet.

That's the fault light for the airbag system, it means that there is something wrong with the system and the airbags may not deploy. The fact that it is coming on and off suggests it might be a loose connection or chafed wire. You'll need to pull the codes to see what is actually turning the light on.

I one time had a code for the air bag charge or something like that being low. My air bag light never came on in result of this. Been many many many miles since, and I've never had the code appear again.

I had the recall done, but mine stays on for another reason that is not being recalled (or under warranty). The dealer quoted $450 to fix it, but I'm holding out for another recall.

You sure you are not under warranty?

Yes, i'm sure. I just rolled over 60k miles. Factory warranty expired back at 36k.
