Fault Code Reader for VT Commodore

[greyingwiseman]

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if I could pick your brains?

Has anybody put together (hardware & software) and fault code reader connected to a laptop etc that works.

If so could you please share with us your successes and failures of using such a beast and what you used to put it together.....?

Thanks in advance for your reponses.........

I have looking at this thread and trying to desipher as I go......being a VT V6 3.8 litre Ecotec Series 1 engine, seems to make it different to VP and VN because they came out with different engines, the VS & VT are not from what I can gather a true ODB11 compatible.

Correct. I won't repeat myself here but the only thing that the VT v6 has in common with OBDII is the shape of the plug, the signals and pins used are TOTALLY different.
