SRS: Service air bag light on; SRS scanner gave codes B0026; B0043; B0044; B0084; B0100; and B0104. Found technical service bulletins possibly related to my specific vehicle (tsb#050941001; NHTSA#10013456) and (tsb#pit-4662; NHTSA#10026744). Called GMC service center; they claimed unable to assist. Suggested taking it to local GMC dealer to run codes at my expense. And then, possibly, depending on results/diagnosis, GMC "may" be able to offer monetary assistance for repairs. So, first have to find the time and the money to take it in. Meanwhile, told rep I would probably just disable the SRS. The light is annoying and have been told that the whole system is disabled anyway while the service air bag light is on. Rep seemed amused and said that her hands are tied.
