HSV VY senator SRS/ABS fault lights up.

[hudo84]

Hello sorry if this isn't the place but i can not find a specific HSV forum to try and get a little help. I have a vy senator that is having electrical issues. The ABS and airbag fault lights are coming up when i turn the ignition on. Had it in the shop for weeks and they couldn't fix it saying that they were having trouble communicating with the cars computer so i couldn't get any codes or anything from them. Have it back now and they come every time but after i run the car for 30 minutes or so sometimes the faults will clear themselves as both went off together all of a sudden. But the next day they came back again when i started it up. Some of my sparky mates tell me it could be a bad earth connection causing this but i have not found anything yet and surely that would of been found while it was in a holden shop getting looked at. I need to get this issue sorted before i sell it but no auto sparkys in my area would touch it or have a look at it. Thanks

try unplugging the electrical connector to the abs unit as this may be causing your issues
vy are a unique car when it comes to scan tools
there are not many that can work
which brings up location, australia seemed like a good idea
but no one can offer to help if they dont know where you live

What makes you say that? My understanding is that the VY V8 just uses the normal Holden Tech2 (or equivalent) scan tool which supports VT-VZ and VE.
