SRS light stays on-mechanic says they want you to replace ''things'' and check system out after 10 years, so light automatically comes on and stays on. If car was never in a crash, not necessary. Correct? Also says this version is not turbo charged. Correct? Oil leaking. major/ Minor? Thnaks. Joe

There could be several reasons why the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) light on your Holden Vy 2002 won't turn off.
One possibility is that there is a fault or malfunction in the SRS system itself. This could be caused by a faulty sensor, a loose or damaged connector, or a problem with the SRS module. In this case, you will likely need to have the system diagnosed and repaired by a qualified mechanic. They will be able to use specialized diagnostic tools to identify the exact cause of the issue and make the necessary repairs.
Another possible reason is that there is a problem with the wiring or electrical system. Check for any loose or damaged wires leading to the SRS module or sensors. If you notice any issues, they will need to be repaired or replaced accordingly.
It's also possible that the SRS light is staying on due to a previous collision or impact, even if the damage has been repaired. In this case, there may be an issue with the crash sensors or impact sensors that are still detecting a problem. Again, a qualified mechanic will be able to diagnose and address this issue.
Overall, it's important to have the SRS system inspected and repaired as soon as possible. The SRS light indicates that there may be a problem with the safety system that could affect the performance of your vehicle in the event of an accident.

This is a air bag fault light .it comes on when you have a fault in the air bag system.

The supplemental restraint system (SRS) warning light is most commonly known as the airbag system light. This is a computer controlled system .
When the vehicle is first started, the SRS light should come on for 1 to 5 seconds while the system goes through a self-test sequence. If the light goes out, then the system is ready. If the light stays on, there is a fault somewhere in the SRS system.
if the light won't come on at all, the coputer system needs to be checked out.

The first thing any Mechanic should do is check for
SRS Codes (safety restraint system)
They will need a data base to look up manufacture
air bag codes & follow a diagnostic charts to find the issue

safety restraint system the air bag is probally bad they only last about 10 years and are very expensive sorry i dont have better news for you

SRS-seatbelt response system, is a part of your airbag system and braking system, once you hit brakes very hard SRS makes sure that the belt is getting tight, in case of collision seatbelt gets stiff and the airbag blows up. SRS light coming on and staying for few seconds is fine as computer is checking the system, once it stays on or flashes you need top go to a garage as you might get a surprise blow in the face by the airbag.

srs means secondary restraint system. e.g air bags and things like that. when it stays on for a few seconds its because it is doing a systems check. if the light stays on all the time then there is a problem. hope i helped.

the SRS stands for Supplemental Restraint System. Most people call it the air bags but the SRS system includes all of the sensors and control units for air bags, seat belt pre-tensioners and passenger detection systems on cars that are equiped with them

each time you start the car up the SRS control unit will do a self-test of the system to make sure all of the sensors are working properly. The SRS light will stay on while that test is conducted. If all is well and everything passes the on-board test the light will go out in about 7 seconds. If something is wrong the light will stay on.

whenever a failure is detected for any reason,the SRS light is turned on and the system is shut off. The air bags will not be deployed when the SRS light is on.

They call it a Supplemental Restraint System because your seat belts are your primary restraint system.

hope that answers your question

Well thats one of two things. First the srs light stands for Supplemental Restraint System or in otherwords the airbag system now the light being on could be because its due for a maintance check up or there could be a problem with the system

SRS stands for Supplemental Restraint System. It has to do with everything that is related to the airbags: Sensors, Control units, Seat Belt pre-tensioners and passenger detection systems (if your car has one). When the car is started, the system will go through a series of self-tests to make sure that the entire system is working properly. The SRS light will either flash during this test or remain on steadily during it. If there is one thing that failed at this test, the light will remain on and I understand that your airbags will not work while this light remains on. You need to have it checked at a dealer, but be prepared: it will cost some money to check it and that's before they discover if anything is wrong that caused the light to stay on in the first place.
