I've just remembered something Matt.  I have a warning light that comes on periodically. According to the book it means the engine is about to seize up.  It's a bit worrying to say the least.
I mentioned it to me youngest who is a car dealer up in the Midlands.  His advice was to detach the battery leads and leave for a few minuets then re-attach them.
He says it's a common fault with modern cars and usually doesn't mean what it says, they just get confused !!!!!! (so do I)
This re-sets everything and usually the warning light will disappear. If it doesn't then there probably is a problem.
Hope this helps.   It works with mine.

Have you seen these Matt? they look as if they do what you want and a lot cheaper than a GM dealer I would think

Not necessarily Matt.  As the Garage owner I use explained to me.  They have a diagnostic machine with a broad spectrum of makes and faults but NOT ALL.
Only the main dealers are provided with the full spectrum programs.  Crafty Eh.  Wink

hi, Check the wiring/ connections/multi plug under the seats don't have the key in the ignition, try disconnecting them and cleaning the terminals with a solvent cleaner such as brake cleaner when dry refit and test!..good luck!!
