Question

The problem is with a 2003 Chevy Suburban 2500 4x4:
I've had the DIC on the dashboard putting out a "Service Air Bag" message for a the last couple of months.
Now that inspection time is coming around - I've got to fix it or it's going to flunk.
I just got the Autoenginuity scanner software and hooked it up - and it's saying that the code is a "B1000" air bag module fault. So I did a little bit of searching and saw that sometimes this can be a faulty front sensor. The truck also recently got a bad leak in the power steering system (cooler line rotted thru) - and power steering fluid was all over the bottom of the core support. - so I figured this might have gotten into and contaminated the impact sensors.
But after changing them - the code is still there.
I also saw it mentioned in a couple of places that if the airbag module is just throwing a history code - then that history code will clear after cycling the truck thru either 100 or 250 cycles of turning the ignition on, so I tried that - and that was also a no-go.
The code is still there.
I should also add that I have tried clearing the code using Autoenginuity a number of times - I see the dash light and the DIC message go away for a few seconds - and then they come right back.
So the next thing to try is replacing or repairing the air bag module , but I've looked in the manual - and I can't seem to figure out where the module is.
Does anybody know which module would correspond to the B1000 code - and where that module is located?
