Warning Lights ON.

I am currently in the process of trying to fix this problem. To start with a few years ago, after transmission repairs, intermittently the ABS and Track Off Lights would come on. Sometimes if you stopped and restarted the car, the lights would go out. It did not seem to affect the cars performance. A couple of months ago, all the lights and warning sounds lit up the dashboard. The airconditioner would not work, the temp guages had no reading. I had it at an auto electricians and after a long time, it was decided that the ABS module was the problem. This was replaced, but still the ABS and Trac off lights come on. Back on the computer scanner and this time, the verdict was 'transmission problems' - getting beyond a joke. Any suggestions??:bang:

the problem is that the instrument cluster loses communication with the other control modules" abs, srs, ecm, bcm"
this is caused by an intermittant fault in one of these modules.
what you need to do is once all the lights come on the dash you should disconnect one of the other modules and see if the dash lights go out eg:
the most common faulty module" and luckiest its the easiest to get to" is the abs module. so:
disconnect the abs module and the srs light should go out
note: the abs and trac light will still stay on cause the abs is not connected
hope this helps

Hi There, I was wondering if anyone could please help me. We have a VX Acclaim & for ages now we've been having problems with the air bag. Initially the light would come on & we'd take it to the auto electrician & he'd reset it & it'd be ok for a good while. Then it just kept happening & happening. We then got the brain for the air bag replaced & it was good for a while but it came back on again. We again got the part replaced under warranty & still we're having problems. I have just spoken to my auto electrician & he said that Holden thinks maybe the actual car is causing the air bag light to come on & damaging the air bag part????? Does anyone know anything about why we're continually having problems with our air bag light? I did hear that apparently if you spray deodorant inside the car, that can set off the air bag light????? Has anyone else ever experienced the same problems? I would really appreciate if anyone could assist. My email is [email protected] if you would like to email me direct. Thankyou Serena

what is the airbag part???
are there any dtc's setting, if so what?
it is a bit vague

We've been having the same problem with the Air bag and Trac Off dash lights in our VT Wagon. My wife took it to Commonwealth Motors in the ACT and they said it was cause by faulty wiring that runs through the car under the seats, and happens quite often due to heavy stuff on the floor screwing up the wiring. Sounds like a design fault to me if nothing was meant to be put on the floors.

Nah my problem is fixed, it was the abs module $425 brand new with warranty.

Good to see you have it fixed and at a reasonable price.
