    On the weekend i replaced all my exec seats with ss seats. Ever since then ive been getting an error when i start the car that looks like a person sitting down wearing a seat belt with a ball infront of it. Looked up the error and it said it had something to do with a "seat belt pre-tensioners" and that it needs to be replaced but it never came up with that error before! Any help is greatly appreciated

    you have to get it reset by Holden, I think it happens when you disconnect that yellow tubed wire?
    don't quote me on that.

    did you disconect your battery before changing the seats?

    if you didnt you will have logged a errror in the airbag system, now the airbags will not be functional till you get it reset by holden

    hitman1979, i must disagree, yes there is an airbag logged error but it does not prevent the airbags from working, i did this in my vt and ha the airbag light on, wrote it off and both airbags worked 100%

    Timy1990 hasn't been seen since 2010 so you won't be getting a reply from him, however the only solution is to have the airbag light reset, assuming the are no problems with the SRS system.
