Pay to get it scanned. The dealer if you have to. Better than losing your mind or shot-gunning parts. Some mechanics in my area offer free scanning, so it may pay to call around.

It doesn't work like that. The only way to make the light go out is to fix it. Pulling different components will only cause more codes to set. So now you have more codes set then what was first there. You will need to have the codes cleared and see what resets.

Do you happen to know whether it is standard to be charge to re-zero the airbags at a dealership?

There is a tendency with GM to look first at the plug under the passenger seat and see if it got upset, possibly by someone vacuuming under the seat, sometimes the wire needs to be pushed back into the connector firmly and the light will go off after you recycle the key a few times. I have had that issue in a few GM cars now. On some other GM's it's a Blue Connector, not sure what color it is on the Camaro.

Unless the service adviser does it for free normally if a service order is made then there is a charge. Some techs may not charge but that's up to them as almost all techs are flat rate paid.
