VZ Commodore SRS airbag fault after Hail storm

[kinga]

I have just had a "SRS Airbag fualt" light come up on my VZ commodore the day after a big hail storm here is Brissy. Got some hail damage to the panels that I need to get fixed under insurance, but when I went to drive it the day after the storm I got a fault indicator when the car goes throguh self test saying there is a SrS airbag fault.
I am just wondering if anyone has heard of anything like this happening before, whether one of the sensors has been knocked or damaged or blocked or somethign through the Hail storm. As anyone in Brisbane would know, we have been absolutely hammered by these storms and this one gave my car a hiding, the roof looks like a golf ball with heaps of dents, despite multiple doonas and blankets covering the car during the golf ball sized hail storm
I am going to take it to the dealers on monday to see if there is actually a problem, or some sort of error code that can be cleared.
Would appreciate some input if anyone has seen this before
Cheers

see what the front bumper is like mate?i know they flex a bit as i had a minor frontal last year and although it looked like no damage the bumper had moved in then out again and was enuff to set of the sensor.

If the sensor is set off can you reset the fault code and then it is ok, or do you have to replace the sensor or anything? Alot of stuff was flying around in the storm and may have hit the front of the car, no visual damage but could have happened.

if it just the light and no message, thats fine, its just the self test when you turn the key

Nah it is the SRS light, the SRS Airbag fail message on the dash LCD, and the Beep beep beep warning sound. THe SRS Airbag error message stays on the LCD until you click the mode button
