S V S Alert ?

Are you sure you have reset the SVS message?
There are no fault codes therefore there is nothing
to erase.
Very strange.

i just went for a drive and it seems the audible alarm sound and the message appears only when i stop at lights and start the engine. but when i drive the message goes away. so ill try resetting the computer. guess.

Mine did the same thing, it was the oil pressure sender in mine. I changed it and its been fine since

Hold the mode and set buttons down together,
Turn key to on position, the dash LCD will change.
You are now in a diagnostic mode.
Scroll through menu in LCD using
the Mode button until you reach the trouble
codes display.
If there are any fault codes a number will be
displayed on this screen.
Any faults should be dealt with by Holden.

that fault code list only takes into account the instrument cluster, fault codes, in the ecm/tcm will have no bearing on this, unless they are missing

I would see if you can get the code checked first, my transmission guy checked mine for nothing as I've been dealing with him for years. Holden quoted me around $150 for the oil pressure sender, Tridon have a replacement listed but I haven't been able to find one to date.

well i done a little test driving by keeping the revs up at 1000 rpm and the SVS alert didnt happen so i guess that will increase oil pressure so ill go for the oil pressure switch and let you know the outcome.

thats an expensive way to fix an error based on thought..... if it does fix it, it wont cost much if at all to go to a mechanic with a scan tool to check codes

 

[Travy]

Yeah its around $145-150 I got it at trade for $108 or something. Mine was leaking as well cos i left it for quite a while lol not realizing the SVS meant that.

Guys

Is this fault related solely to the Alloytech or do the oil pressure senders on Ecotec's also fail and give out the SVS signal?
