I have the same problem same model and same symptoms have had it
reset twice but keeps recuring comes up on the scan tool as just a
code number that nobody can tell me what it is ??
the interesting thing is the colder it is the longer the air bag light
takes to turn off 25 degrees of almost straight away 15 degrees of in
ten minutes 5 degrees takes half an hour plus
thing that scares me if i take it to my local holden dealer to get the
code read they will want the bastard all day (0730 book in) and all i
want to know what the problem is i dont want to front up at 500 pm to
be told they had to replace two air bags, two side air bags, two pre
tensioners and a BCM and the total bill is $4500.00 thanks very much
in essence i dont trust that they will just read the codes and report
!!
Bearing in mind this dealer (Melbourne) charged a mate $250.00 to
change a number plate globe in a VR wagon a few years ago !!
and NO i am not exagerating.
