Default Service Vehicle Light

What are the causes for the "Service Vehicle Light" to stay solid? I have read it can be as simple as a bulb burned out, but what else could it be? I bought the car about a year ago with the light on, and the owner before me who bought the car in 2006 said the light was on when they bought it. So its been on for about 5 years now and I just want to figure out why it is on.


I understand that a OBDII scanner wont help any from what I have read online. I used my Solus scanner when I threw a P0300 code but that was for the Service Engine Light.

I am at a loss to getting this light to shut off. Will a GM dealership be able to help? And if so, what will the charge be? I have checked all the bulbs on the car. Two marker lights were out but the light is still solid on my dash.


The car has alot of mods, but from what I have read its not engine related its body related??

I just used my dad's scanner on the TA and may have found some culprits to the light. I checked all areas for codes, and finally in the Air Bag section I found some:

B0026 Driver Front Deployment Loop Open
B1001 Option Configuration Error
U1301 Class 2 Data High or Low Volts
U1040 Loss of EBCM Communications
U1096 Loss of IPC Communications


I tried clearing the codes, and it looks like all have cleared except for B0026. That code seems to be staying current. Any insite on what happened back in 2006 for the light to come on? Are all of these codes related? Shortly after I bought the car the steering wheel controls stopped working, are any of these codes for that?
