Nice list! Combined with the method of reading codes without plugging any tech in, that might be very useful. Do these codes cover most models?
yer corsa's and astra's and zafira's it works for up to now and for people who dont know how do the "pedal trick"

No need for Tech 2 or any sort of code readers and Most of Vauxhall dealers don’t know about this....

When you get into the car you know the key has 3 clicks first on for aftermarket cd player and whatever else and the second one the dash comes on third the starter kicks in

before you put the key into the ignition Make sure that you Press the Break and the Throttle to the Floor ( max )
Then turn the key on until The dash board come on and DONT START THE CAR
Wait 2 sec and keep the pedals Down to the floor
the service light under the management light should start flashing

it will flash 4 times leaving 2 second space representing each number
Zero gets 10 flashes

for exampleP0110
the light will flash ten times Break (2sec Or 1 not sure) then once, (2sec) once again, then ten

if you have more than one code it will stop for a break then gives the next code

however if you don’t have any code stored it will start Flashing and keeps on flashing until you release the paddles

great info, new member here have an engine management light on in dashand need to do a reset on service light is that possible, noel

so i have done the pedal trick andit just keeps flashin constently until i release the pedals, what could be my problem be now, i still have all the symptoms of a computer failure, hesitant off the mark, can't go over 80m.p.h because when i come off onto the slip road and press the brake the engine just cuts out, i have grey slime on the cap of my oil re-fill cap. but no symptoms of a gasket gone other than that one? any ideas????????????

sounds like a shortage somewhere and your oil might need changing ?
 
#11 ·
NO NO NO ,,, if the light keeps flashing means no codes are stored or pending , your car's symptoms are more like EGR valve which will not necessarily trigger a fault code , clean it or replace it ,
the grey slime is just common to 8v build up condensation inside the engine combined with short cold journeys

This is very useful information. Thanks.

I just came from the mechanic and his system was showing following codes as undocumented code. I have a problem that my dual fuel car is not giving power on 4th and 5th gear on Petrol. It is running fine on LPG. I have this problem from quiet sometime and hence using care only on LPG. I have driven around 5K miles on LPG without any major problem but the problem on Petrol still exists. Two local mechanic told me that ECU needs to be replaced and cost is very high. Not worth spending on 2002 model old car! Don't know what should I do? Any good suggesstion!

all diesals should be obd2 compliant and have 16 pin conector made on or after 2004 and on or after 1996 for petrols

some older cars have a 20 pin plug for example bmw and mercedes but in 2004 all diesals and petrols had to be obd2 compliant and have a standard 16 pin plug

I have tried this method, there is no light flashing, i have tried pressing peddels befor puting key in
/tried puttin key first, still no light flash. all that happend is the glowplug light goes off.
Zafira 2.0 y20dth 2005.
Problem is on power one min then next it takes off with on a small press on acc
Should this method work on this car.

are you pressing the brake and acceleration down to the floor and waiting till all the dash lights glow up then the car with the spanner should light up ?

Hi
I do not know where to ask this question,
I have a zafira 2,00 dti.vauxhall say it is obd11 compliant.would that mean one of the cheaper readers would work.They say they will not on pre 2004 dti as they are not obd11 compliant this one has the right plug under the handbrake.
any ideas?

it should do works for a corsa c and astra mk4 which is same base as the zafira

yes i have pressed both brake and accelerator at once. Then put key in, then all lights come on including spanner light, then the only thing that happens is the glowplug light goes off.
I am pressing brake as hard as i can. and accelerator all the was to floor.

can anyone help - i am going to try the above method but just thought id ask for ideas.
I have a vauxhall movano and it has been driving in limp mode for some time. I have been trying to figure the problem (i have tried the EGR valve and air flow meter and the van doesnt have either of these)
I recently got in the van and while driving the STOP light came on in the dash. as i then drove home the van lost all power - acceleration and indicators etc. It regained enough power to drive onto my drive where it died. I have tried charging the battery but this hasnt worked.

Any ideas what i could try?
Please HELP
