sounds stupid but maybe its one of those lights that need to be switched off by holden...

Agreed with Above, there will be a 10amp(I Think) fuse in your engine bay and also a Relay in your engine bay for it. Check the ABS fuse and make sure its not blown. If all checks out, swap the Relay with another known working one

fuses and relays all fine ,, now what lol, had it put on a different scantool and still wont communicate!?

[xcop]

[xcop]

how can i tell

Id check the ABS module which is located behind the drivers side kick panel.(Basically in the same place as the ECU, but on the drivers side.) This is the computer module that controls the ABS, and Id say its probably faulty if it wont communicate with a scantool or flash up ABS error codes. (ABS error codes are flashed up on the ABS dashlight by bridging diagnostic connector pins 5 and 12.)
