Factory standard isnt it? lol, your car now has VT pride and is purely singing its national anthem like most other VT's do.

In seriousness no you cant do anything you need to take it to your holden dealer and get it reset its costs between 100-200 bux to get done, and in less then a week it will be happening again. We got ours done the first time it last 4 or 5 days, got it reset again and it lastrf 3 days, got charged both times to, so now we just thank it for its glorious charm.

If you can cheaper wise find someone who works on Holden cars even for them a auto elec.. They can also reset it and I'm sure they will do it cheaper.
rind about get some prices call holden price them.

For 1 air-bag and clock spring.

yes... airbags are expensive. As are clock springs.

There's something about explosives and the safety of the electrical circuits that set them off that make these sorts of parts expensive :P


If the light comes on and off almost randomly every so often, then I'd say it's more likely a problem with a sensor. If the light comes on and it stays on, every time you turn the car on, then you are dicing with death if you DON'T take it to Holden (or someone with a Tech 2) to run a full diagnostic and check for problems.

Is it just a fault with the code.. or is it a fault with the actual air bag.. Like is it dangerous.. because i just got this code come up. **** paying 200 buckaroo's for labour if all they do is walk to the place where the computer is, then bring it over to the car... then hook it in then walk back to put it on the shelf... lol i rather have the airbag go off in my face lol

No you wouldnt. If you had ever had one go off in your face you wouldnt be stupid enough to joke about it. DOnt be a tight arse, go and get it checked out, its your safety and more importantly your life.

As a guy who just replaced 2 i can say it's a ****en rip off for 1.
I'd have 2 done pretentioners crash pad seatbelts modual clock springs for $2200 completely new. I went part new part used in the end the mos important things new.
Expensive? Not cheap but they rip you the **** off.

I got my fault code checked for free. came up as dud pretensioners, but some jackoff had unplugged them then the guy charged $50 to reset. and he's not a mate or anything, just a decent bloke
