Service airbag at 100+ mph on track
Yesterday at NJMP flying down the front straight and Service Airbag pops up on the dash along with the red airbag symbol. Click ok and notice about 30 seconds later the symbol is gone and all seems well. Never saw it again after that. Haven't messed with anything lately in the car, no race seats, etc. What gives?

Front straight of all places? Turn 7 bumpy as hell and some of the curbs are rather violent, but on straight, kinda funny.
Did you brake really hard and lift yourself off the seat? I found myself pulling the belts tight after bowl and over the slight crest. There might be service / code history that GM can pull if interested in going that route.

As for the airbag, it's the first time and the car is off warranty. So I'll wait till it occurs again before I put much thought into it. But yes, it was at the Crest after the bowl, maybe that has something to do with it. I had the belts crazy tight. Thanks for the response. |

I almost ran out of road on Turn 7 when I came in too hot, buried my foot on brake and waited for speed to bleed off! it was *so* close. Probably in my session 3 video, maybe 4.
I ran one session in touring because I forgot to go track mode, only really noticed when i saw traction light blinking alot thinking "wtf is that blinking for"

Based on the title of this post, I'm going to say, "No, you don't want to try to service your airbag while driving 100+ mph on track." Now, on regular road doing the speed limit, it doesn't require nearly as much concentration, so by all means, feel free to service your airbag at the same time.
