    Mine comes on every few months and then when I restart the car it goes away.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    DITTO!...Mine also will come on every day or so for a several weeks, (will go out upon re-start), then nothing for more than 5-6 months. Then the warning lights will start coming on again for the same period as before. Been doing this for more than 5 years.

    I am wondering what it would have cost you all if you had gone to your friendly local Holden dealer to get the problem diagnosed? Which is what the manual recommends.

    If it happens more frequently then I will but at the moment it happens once or twice a year and disappears as soon as I restart.
