vt air bag light is constantly light up after removing seats?

[mattbombers]

i took both driver and passenger seats of of the vt the other night and when i reinstalled them i plugged the clips back in and then after i started the car the little airbag light is on the dash. the book says its the airbag/ seat belt pretension-er?
i was told to disconnect the battery for half hour to reset it but no luck?
realy annoying lol...
cheers for any advice

while changing the seats you should of have the battery unplugged. very very common problem.

you need to take your car to your local holden and ask them to fix it, if they are in a nice mood they will do it for free. otherwise your looking at about 100$ to fix.

ahhhh noob mistake. what is it exactly they will be doing? resetting something im guessing?

[Killr6]

something like that i presume.

but im pretty sure if your in an accident your airbags wont deploy, and that will make your insurance void.

[mattbombers]

and that will make your insurance void.

what insurance?
nar jokes..

so only a Holden center can do it? i have a mate at ford and a mate a Toyota.. just don't know any one at Holden dammit

I had mine reset yesterday after changing the clock spring because I got knocked back for rego because the light was on. The guy who knocked me back wanted to charge me $80 to reset it, I got it done elsewhere for $20 and it took about 2minutes, max. So shop around for a fair price. A lot of places have the scan tool now, It was the local transmission place that reset mine.
I think the airbags will still work unless there is a definite fault, like a broken clock spring.

um i recommend going to holden quit being a tight arse.

my old car had the light on for ages

[axemurderer101]

take it to your mates at toyota or ford and they should be able to connect a scan tool to it and clear the code for ya

Stopped by a mech today , 40 cash for 5 min job ohwell at least it's gone cheers for the help !

[Mirkz]

Is that all it costs??

geez.. I thought it was like $300 or something.
Mine's been showing up for months.
I think I'll try and get that sorted in the next week! hahaha

[mattbombers]

Yeah , was an expensive carpet clean though.. Haha next time the battery will be disconnected !! Haha

$100 is way steep! any place with a scan tool should charge no more than $30-$40 to do this! it literally takes less than a minute.

The light will come back on, so start saving! Daughters VT kept coming back on after reset.

The light will only come if theres an error, i unplugged the dash in my bros VX and plugged another in and the light came on(communication error). I just took it to tafe and had fiddle with the tech2 and turned it off.
