Insani-T Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Yeah I would disconnect the battery for half an hour and see if that clears the codes. Air Bag and ABS warning lights are a right pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatestben Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 yeah just needs code cleared. Boss's ute did the same thing, removing the battery lead and pushing the brake pedal apparently saps all the juice from the system so you don't have to wait for half an hour.

xsspeed Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 most decent garages these days should be able to clear the code from a modern car, so you dont need to offer your rear end to holden for them to clear it if you know someone/friendly with your local garage.

I know at toyota dealership when I was there on work experience they use to sometimes not even look at car just told me to beep horn, check all the seatbelts clicked in and retracted when unclicked and that was the inside done.

mikuni Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Most do and all should, would be a bit of a cunt to have a crash and find no airbags have gone off because of a simple thing like that. In the future you can stop this from happening by removing the battery about 15 mins before unpluging the airbag or seats (if they have pretensioners). In Holden Vectras the SRS light is on a latch so once it goes on, it won't come off until you plug in the diagnostic thing. This car could be the same but try to reset it like the others have mentioned above first. Also, I took my Vectra to the local Holden dealership and they quoted about $60 to plug it in but didn't end up charging me anything because it was only a reset. Might be worth trying to wing it like that. I wouldn't just smash the bulb for the sake of $60 because you'd feel shit if someone got worked over in a crash because of it.

shizzl Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 do a google search... my ef falcon had a similar problem. although it was caused by a dead battery.so it threw up a fault.. found the error codes online,and how to do it.. on the coon i just had to ground the reset terminal until the beeper went off in the dash. sorted,and cost me nothing...

Sorensin Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Pull the dash out and wire all warning lights into the oil warning light... keep your oil good and you should never have a problem with any warning lights again XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
