Several months ago, my airbag light came on and didn't extinguish. I took my 1998 GMC extd. Cab pickup to the dealer and they completed repairs ($755.14, even at a discounted rate). The problem was the sir coil intermittently was grounding, causing a short in the SDM module. My airbag has never deployed and the truck has never been involved in an accident. Since airbags were mandated back in 1998, I would have hoped that I would never have had a problem with that system! seems to me this should be warranted for the life of the car, barring deployment from an accident.
