Hi
Does anyone know how to reset a check engine light in a ve commodore.
I left the stereo on for too long and then tried to start it and now when it starts after the new battery the check engine light comes on.
I cant be fucked dealing with holden to get tech 2 hooked up so is there a procedure to do it without holden like bridging terminals out and shit.

Im pretty sure your shit out of luck

When a fault is registered with the ECU is stays there until it is wiped, which means taking it to a holden dealership.

Well pretty sure thats what happens with the VE's.

try something like ultratune

Yeah its logged a DTC and only way to clear it is with Tech 2 or a suitable scan tool.
