    Unhappy Service "error" message

    I have searched the forum and can't find this one, can anyone please help.
    I have a VT2 S that has an service "error" message that comes up every time the car is started, then it goes off after about 10 seconds.
    I have done an error code check but there are no faults.
    Does anyone have a solution to get rid of this annoying error other than having to take it to the stealer to have it reset???

    i assume your talking abuot the service reminder? not sure what a service error is but if it just flashes up with a certain number of km's ie. 90000 and a little spanners its just a reminder.

    To remove the reminder:

    turn car to off
    hold up and down arrows
    turn car to on
    wait for beep
    press mode until the word service appears
    press and hold up and down buttons until a beep
    turn car to off


    give that a shot and let me know if it works mate

    Default Service 'Error' on dash board vx commodore

    Simple Fix'
    Turn car off.
    press an hold up an down arrow on the trip Computer' (Located just left of stearing wheel..below 'Mode Button'" Top
    'Turn car on and wait 3 seconds!' (you will hear a 'Beep'! and says on dash reseted ect'in a 'Scrambled ' way!!?"pressing 'Mode Button' also can 'Help' after that to reset !!then turn car ignition off again with-out starting..
    "What a rip -off!!"........... cause i noticed it said that my VX needed a service????
    i think the trip computer is programed by Holden to 'Kill' my car' (No windows no Central Locking ect) ..just so i have to go back to my holden dealer and get a $250+ service'
    what a con!!!. to think that just '2' Buttons' af totaly 'F####ed' my car ..& when i had 3 kids whith asthma this week- end & couldn't get to the doctors if i needed on a Satererday afternoon??? that's 'crazy!!..but True....HOLDEN ..YOU r SHITE!!
