    Default Checked codes on my 1994 VR commodore

    Hi all i have checked the codes on my vr commodore and come up with these codes in this sequence.

    12 - Code 12 - System Pass (OK)

    13- Code 13 - Oxygen Sensor (O2) - No Signal

    28 - Code 28 - Pressure Switch Assembly Short Circuit - Auto Transmission Code

    21 - Code 21 - Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) high voltage

    31 - Code 31 - Theft Deterrent Signal missing

    is it possible for anyone to give me advice on how to fix these problems or is it best i take it to a auto machanic.

    13- Code 13 - Oxygen Sensor (O2) - No Signal get under your car and check the wiring from your o2 sensor, if you cant find anything try replacing it (cost about $100 from holden)

    21 - Code 21 - Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) high voltage replace the sensor, its at the back of the throttle body directly behind the butterfly

    The code 31 would be probably caused by a old key, not disabling the immobiliser, common problem. Have you had any trouble starting it?

    Hi
    I spoke to my dad last night we took off the engine fuse for approx 20 seconds, put it back and the car started. Hopefully this has erased the memory, I didn't lock the car last night and this morning it started fine.
    I don't know if this will fix the problem I'm a bit to scared to lock the door, but i'll test it out tomorrow when i'm at home.
    Thanks

    The metal tags around the ignition key hole,(the key reader) might not be touching the little metal contact on the keyfob properly.This will cause nothing to happen when turned to the start position.Check the metal tags around the keyhole,maybe carefully bend them out a tiny bit.
