When dealing with the SIR system, you must fix the problem to clear the codes. As the system does a self check every time the the key is cycled to the run position. Otherwise you will never clear the INFL light.

With the 91, you can use flash code diagnostics, but certain codes can only be read and reset using a Tech1 with the SIR cartridge. Code 51 can not be cleared from the history at all.

You are supposed to use the Tech1 to clear the codes, and the manual makes no reference to using the ground/unground method to clear the codes. If you correct the code 26 it should be changed to a "history" code and be removed from the "current" and the light will go out.

Your code 26 was more than likely caused by your swap of the steering wheel. Hopefully you have not pinched or damaged the wire in the column coming from the coil to the inflator module. You may get lucky and find that you did not insert the connector correctly.
