VE in dash diagnstics

[GregFonz]

Hi, does anyone now the sequence of buttons you have to push to get into the fault codes etc on the VE?

With My VZ you pressed the Mode/Set button while turning the key on......
This would give you access to a few things, like volts, exact fuel, any error codes, a dash test screen..........

Anyone know?

Try this it is called "engineering mode"

You can get to the engineering mode by holding down the left "channel change" button on the steering wheel when starting your car -- off to on

this comes from "affinity"

i dont think you can get error codes that way though ... because when i asked holden about engineering mode no one knew about it ... and if the error codes were there you would think someone would have known about it

You need to plug in a scantool for error codes.

Or... you can do what i have done and get a obd2 to USB cable plug it in to a computer fine some appropriate software and there you go, you will have every thing. total cost about $30 if you already have a laptop

[StoneX]

What software? And where'd you get the adapter? eBay?

[BigBoss]

Yep ebay is they way to go, something like this should do it
Car Code Reader OBD II OBD2 to USB Interface | eBay

I use a macbook so i use a program called "Movi Pro" but if you use a windows computer there are lots more programs, just google it.
