Vs Commodore berlina Sedan 1996
What makes me laugh is how useless some people are the tech 2 starts at 1997 and the tech 1 is for the previous stuff why didn't they make the tech 2 with tech 1 capabilities on one that's just as bad as having aldl and obd2 why didn't they make it as one things would have been so much easier

a question for the Tech 2 owners.. can the unit disable the engine going into safety mode. i have been having endless problems with my car going into safety mode from error 2138 accelerator pedal position sensor.. car has been to many mech. now to $1000 in parts and stil getting the same error 2122. car seems to run fine. just gets a small loss of power.. like fuel starving. for about a second.. then car goes to safety mode.. sometimes it does this a few times a week.. sometime nothing. the car is a 07 VE SV6 sedan.. car been to holden many times they cant seem to fix it. i asked them can the tech 2 disable the safety mode.. they didnt say it couldnt.. just said its a safety feature.. i was going to buy a tech 2 to disable safety mode. but i wanted to ask ppl who have the unit. and can tell me yes or no it can disable the motor from going to safety mode..

thanks in advance

I know this sounds stupid but I have to ask, has the mechanic replaced the accelerator pedal?

I own a tech 2 and have never come across safety mode.
I am guessing the Mech has changed the APP sensor?

Sounds like a break in one of the wires to the APP.

I know this one was a long time ago but have a possibility on the selection of fuel calibration. For those of you with a Tech Two when you select the serie1 or series two car at the very start that may dictate how the gauge is calibrated once you get to that menu and select the type of vehicle you are programming, it may be that simple.
