would this be a good buy for a 97 vt berlina?
I Found the paper clip works, same results. you can find one thats just for commodores and gives you software, so you can check engine codes, injector timing, temp, idle and lots of other things, but they are bout $120.
yer thats what i want, one to do all that but cant find any:S that one say it reads/erases cdodes.

I dont think so,
but they do let you return the scanner if it dosent work on your car.

What does that mean? I have to find one with that socket and protocol?
Yes. You should be able to find one to suit. It's not like the VT commodore is a rare car.
Could try something like this if you have a laptop?

Yer that's perfect but I'd like a handheld if I could get one![]()
Did the VX SS' have OBDI or OBDII protocol?
I think upto 2004 it's the same
I can only seem to find OBDII/CAN no OBDII/OBDI
I can find OBDII/EOBD
would it work?
anyone know if those codes are on the VTberlina?

Will a cheap USB scanner like this work for a VX SS, considering it is OBD11 compliant?
Four commodores and counting.
Buy one and find out, its only $22, so go on and be the test dummy, take one for the team.
