Default Service Vehicle Soon after firmware update

Hey guys,

Ever since I updated my car's firmware to fix the Navigation System (I couldn't choose any state except Michigan) I have been getting a 'Service Vehicle Soon' message on my DIC.

Everything I've managed to find by searching online seems to point to something in the Alarm system being enabled that shouldn't be.

Has anyone seen this before? Is there any way to fix it without going to the dealer?

car is a stock 2005 CTS-V.

Thanks!

I assume you scanned it & the scanner told you it was the seats? Does that have anything to do with the passenger side airbag recall?

Thanks.

Not sure, the only thing they could tell me was the seats are throwing error codes but not sure why.. it was by a private shop so I didn't plan on giving them a reason to charge me more.. not sure about the airbag but my seat is kind of jacked up but it still does the job so I'm fine with it...
