I have a 98 Bonneville. The airbag light stays on continually. The
dealer checked it and said that it had codes 18 & 71, which requires a
replacement module. Can anyone tell me what these codes are
representing? Does anyone have suggestions on how I should proceed?

Thanks,

Doug

Your question is not clear, the dealer diagnosed this, told you what they
say it needs, now what? Check this link

I am really asking if there is another alternative to paying $900 to
the dealer for a new module. There are companies on the web that
claim to be able to reload the factory software into the module for
less than $100. Is this legitimate?

Also, I am tryint to determine if codes 18 & 71 are crash data codes
(the car was not crashed), or if these codes indicate other component
failures.

Thanks

B1018 passenger side short to ground.
B1071 internal sdm failure
Diagnostics say attack the B1018 first.
