Hi,
Can anyone tell me a way to clear fault codes?
I have tried several code readers and nothing wants to communicate with my car.... :-\
This brings me to my next question, Any ideas why nothing will talk to my car???
-
Not sure if ex plod have been fiddled with ( ooh er :D ) in this respect?
Otherwise I'd speak to TB or one of our resident Tech2 guys ?

Thanks, will do. I am sure I had a fault a few years ago and sorted it with a LAUNCH kit???

I borrowed a Sealey OBDII thing recently and found it took a couple of tries to make it communicate with the car ???
In the end I was able to clear the codes, but I don't know anything about readers tbh.
I gave it back sharpish in case I broke it ;D
-
The OBDII readers will not work on the 2.5/3.0 models.
For those you'll need "My Naff Code Reader" (not the cheap knockoffs of course) or Tech2.

That might explain it then :-\

If memory serves .. only the DBW cars are OBDII compliant ... :(

What reader will work? I though being a 2000my, it would be OBDII???

Thanks for the advice ;-) pink and/or brown both work for me! ;-) lol....
I did the paperclip and I now what to clear those faults to see if they come back rather than just fire new parts hoping I get a fix.
I found this on the bay, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Tech2-Diagnostic-fault-code-Reader-Scanner-OBD-/150944835401?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item2325036749
Is this the kit I need?

That's not a tech2!
::)

That's what I thought... Tech2 is a hand held unit? And costs £000's
-

No ....... it's a 'cheapo Tech II' ;) ;) ;)

But it will do what it says it will?
Could prove useful???
-
Yes and Yes.
It will read fault codes and can perform many useful tasks so would be useful, but it is no substitute for a proper tech2.

I'm sure the "real" tech2 would be awesome, I work at Nissan tech centre and our system is amazing!
I would only need baic functions like, read and clear codes....
Thanks for the help guys, I think I'll give it a go... :y
