We went through this only 2 months or so ago. That scan tool won't clear or even show the SRS fault, however there is one thats about $400 the cheapest ive seen called the Maxitel SRS and oil light reset. We almost bought one ourselves to reset an srs light but got a mechanic to do it in the end.
Hi guys,
Newbie on the forum but felt like putting sticking my nose in on this one.
In my opinion the SRS is probably being triggered by a faulty wire under one of the front seats.
In my VY there is a yellow & orange plug on the left of the passenger seat which, if unplugged while the key in on will trigger the fault.
I found this out the hard way when I installed an amp under the passenger seat.
I am a software developer and thinking of buying the elcheapo diagnostic tool from ebay which really is just a connector and USB to connect to a PC. It seems the software supplied only matches up any diagnostic code with a database. I am wondering if I can write something to do some basic resets.
From what I can gather there are lots of blokes who get the SRS warning from installing amps, water spills during detailing or installing new seats.
According to the book you can hit the mode button to reduce the size of the warning on your cluster but until you get it reset from Holden your airbags and srs are disabled.
Cheers

to clarify, when it does the start up check it gets to the check then beeps and illuminate an SRS Failure warning. Hitting mode clears that from the cluster, same as the low fuel warning, but a bright red SRS light stays on in the left hand corner and as mentioned its disabled.According to the book you can hit the mode button to reduce the size of the warning on your cluster but until you get it reset from Holden your airbags and srs are disabled
most modern work shops have scan tools that can scan srs systems. I have one that i use daily and its not a tech2, tho do have access to as tech2 without the holden repair costing of diagnosis
