thus why I asked what state your in as I may be able to help
Once an SRS fault is logged they have to stay permanant and disable all SRS items.
Its like that on ALL cars these days. As I said, its a way to force you to have the issue looked at, for instance with Tech 2 it will tell you whats caused the fault before your able to reset it.

scan tool doesn't display and DTC's in VCM Suite? .... if so clear them but I doubt off hand it does log the SRS faults in the ecu.
They probably get stored in the BCM ........ try turning on the ignition, then with the key set to on.......... unplug the battery for 60 mins........ from what i've heard it may reset the bcm.
Just an idea, otherwise some sort of scan tool? .....
Cheers

no it wont, and i wouldnt do that, mainly because you could spike control modules doing that, same thing goes for if you disconnect the battery when the engines running

the SRS code will be logged in the SRS module ( funny bout that)
the cluster will also have logged that there is a fault in the SRS & the BCM will have logged faults in the SRS & INST
go to someone with a Tech 2

SRS codes MUST be reset with the Tech 2.
No code can be reset IF THE FAULT STILL EXISTS. (duh...)
VCM, the "cheap" code readers from eBay, or other "workaround" tricks WILL NOT WORK.
These are the hard and fast rules folks....
IF the code has been popped due to a part of the "loop" being disconnected (ie. either a sensor or detonator circuit) temporarily, then the code can be cleared quckly and easily once that element has been reconnected. If the code has popped because a sensor or detonator circuit has become faulty, then the fault needs to be rectified before the code will clear down. But the one simple rule remains - the only way to clear the code is with a Tech 2 or compatible scan tool, with specific options for Holden vehicles. The eBay specials which claim to be "GM Tech 2 compatible" might work with Euro, US, or Jap GM cars, but they won't work with our Commy's.
Hope that helps clear up the confusions / misconceptions....
