One problem related to front air bag sensor control has been reported for the 1998 GMC Sierra 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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.
