Not for this specific application, as you need to read gearbox and ABS as well.

Why gearbox and ABS? They are separate lights.

They won't read gearbox or ABS. Only engine codes.

Because in this case, both gearbox and ABS can cause the engine ECU to throw a monk, without bringing on their own warnings. All 3 sit an chat on a (half-arsed) CANBUS, so a minor glitch on one can throw the others into a tizz.

It'll read whatever the car's OBDII implementation pushes through, which on the 2.2 is engine only. Most other OBDII cars push through the drivetrain codes as well, esp those with combined engine/drivetrain ECUs

P100 IS THE MAF CODE SO CHECK THE MAF AND CONNECTION
BOTH THE 1700 CODES ARE GEARBOX RELATED.
P1700 IS SVS  REQUEST
P1781 IS UNKNOWN TO ME ::)

P1700 means you need to check the TCM for codes ::)


Did the MAF one disappear, and stay disappeared when you cleared the codes out?

P1781 On the old forum they mention that this error was caused by a faulty Cam sensor.  :y

Do you have any problems starting the car, may be taking longer to start than usual? If yes then it would point to  a faulty cam sensor.

Hope this helps.
