search button is very handy but anyway,

hold up and down, turn ignition on, wait for confirmation, then hold set until it says its clear

I don't think its to do with the service. Its an issue which occurs relating to emission.

Need to get it checked out from Holden or someone who can plug their laptop into the cars computer to see what the fault is.

Yep, sounds like something is wrong. If it was just a service reminder it only comes on when you turn the car on or off. Not when you stop at the lights.

its actually a error caused by the export vehicle software being loaded onto the computers, my post is to reset it, not fix

to fix it, the ecu, bcm, instrument cluster needs to be re-flashed with updated software


edit: just re-read and noticed comming on at lights, which is a little weird,

that should reset the '45,000km service etc' or 'service vehicle soon',

if it comming up with 'check engine' or 'emissions error' etc, that will have to be reset with a compatible scan tool or sometimes disconnecting the battery will reset the code if its a one off fault.

please help

My ute does the same but not at the lights, just every 3-5 minutes. I have resulted in turning up the music...
I have tried doing the reset buttons and even taken it into a Holden place to get the computer hooked up to reset it that way, neither works for me. Everyone suggests a resolution but so far none have worked. Does anyone else have an idea?

I have tried: reset buttons
taking it to the Holden department
cleaning and replacing the filter- Holden suggested
checking the oil sensor- another holden suggestion
