Go to the dealer and mention both. They will see them in the computyer, anyway, as error codes are stored in your car's computer memory.

I had the same error in my car about 3 months ago. The dealer initially thought it was the driver's air bag. But, it didn't solve the problem. They then determined it was some sort of electrical contact problem. This must have been right as the error message never came back.

When I was installing my Audio 10 and had the center panel trim out -- it disconnects (from the AC/Heater controls and emergency blinker, plus seat heaters, towing control, door locks).. anyhow, when I started up the engine to make sure all was working in radio - trim still out - I got a SRS failure light. I don't know what's located in that center trim piece but when I plugged it back in it was all fine.
Hopefully this helps someone that may have been tinkering in there! Reseat the plugs.

Tracker fitted? You mean lojack type thingy?
You may want to pop off the center panel - pretty easy, but you'll need a 20 torx screwdriver. Look for the Audio 10 install thread for step by step.
Then look at the top button section from the rear (it is all one panel).
It has multiple ports, but only some are used. For instance I have heated seats so the driver side has a heavy gauge plug plus the passenger side has a wimpy smaller wire connector. There are other ports - but not all get used.
Any how, one of the port types has two holes -- but only one of them needs to be used ( I don't know which). You may want to check that. Try switching to the other port.
