GM / Saturn air bag systems record vehicle data during a crash event. This data can be downloaded after a crash. The factory GM Tech 2 cannot collect the crash data. It requires a different tool...the Vetronix CDR. It can be seen here-
Sometimes this data can save your butt.
Any questions about the airbag module or the Vetronix equipment? We will try to answer them.
Can someone please email me info about this tsb please:

Engine - Serpentine Drive Belt Wear Information
Bulletin No.: 04-06-01-013
Date: April 29, 2004
INFORMATION
Subject: Information on Serpentine Belt Wear
Models:
2004 and Prior Passenger Cars and Trucks 2003-2004 and Prior HUMMER H2All current GM vehicles designed and manufactured in North America were assembled with serpentine belts that are made with an EPDM material and should last the life of the vehicle. It is extremely rare to observe any cracks in EPDM belts and it is not expected that they will require maintenance before 10 years or 240,000 km (150,000 mi) of use.
Older style belts, which were manufactured with a chloroprene compound, may exhibit cracks depending on age. However, the onset of cracking typically signals that the belt is only about halfway through its usable life.
A good rule of thumb for chloroprene-based belts is that if cracks are observed 3 mm (1/8 in) apart, ALL AROUND THE BELT, the belt may be reaching the end of its serviceable life and should be considered a candidate for changing. Small cracks spaced at greater intervals should not be considered as indicative that the belt needs changing.
Any belt that exhibits chunking should be replaced.
