GENERAL INFORMATION

The Tech 2 is a hand-held diagnostic computer which has been designed specifically to help Dealership Technicians

diagnose and repair the electronic systems used on Holden vehicles.

NOTE:

TECH 2 Functions on the 4JB1T Diesel engine are limited to Immobiliser and ignition key programming. These

functions are accessed through the Body Application menu after selection of the correct model year and vehicle type.

Due to the constant evolution of TECH 2 software, the screens shown in this section may differ slightly from

those displayed for the vehicle being tested.

PROGRAMMING TECH 2

General Information

Before Tech 2 can be used on a vehicle it will have to be

programmed with the latest software. Tech 2

programming is used to update Tech 2. TIS 2000

contains the current Tech 2 applications (program) and

one preceding version. Tech 2 can be programmed

using the following procedure.

1. Connect the RS-232 cable to the Tech 2 RS-232

communication port.

2. Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the

DB-9 adapter and then connect the DB-9 adapter to

the serial communication port of your computer.

NOTE: If your computer has a 25 pin serial

communication port you will need to fit the 25/9 pin

adapter between the nine pin DB-9 adapter and the

serial communication port.

3. Connect the AC power supply to the Tech 2 power

jack.

4. Press the PWR button to turn on Tech 2.

5. From the TIS 2000 Main Menu, click on the

Software Download icon.

There are two download modes: Standard and Custom.

Standard installs the latest software version of the

currently programmed language and make onto the

Tech 2.

Custom allows you to perform backdating, install

different make software or alternate languages onto the

Tech 2.

Standard Update

The procedure for performing a standard Tech 2 update

using the TIS 2000 Software Download is as follows:

1. Connect the Tech 2 to the PC using the RS-232

cable, DB-9 adapter and the 25/9 pin adapter if

required.

2. Power up the Tech 2 using the AC power supply

that comes standard with the Tech 2 kit.

Tech 2 must be at the Title Screen.

3. At the TIS 2000 Select Diagnostic Tool for

Download screen highlight your selection (TECH

2) and select the Standard update mode.

After making your selections, click Next>. A message

will appear indicating the PC is reading the contents of

the diagnostic tool.

4. The PC will display a Confirm Software Change

screen showing what software version the Tech 2

currently contains and what it will contain after the

software download. Click Next> to continue.

5. A Performing the Software Download screen will

appear. It tracks the status of the software

download.

6. When the software download is complete, a

Download Finished screen appears. Click on Close

to close the application. The scan tool now contains

the latest software.

Custom Update

A custom update is used to backdate the TECH 2,

install Non-Holden software or install different language

software. After selecting Custom as the update mode

from the selection screen, do the following:

1. Connect the TECH 2 to the PC using the RS-232

cable, DB-9 adapter and the 25/9 pin adapter if

required.

2. Power up the Tech 2 using the AC power supply

that comes standard with the TECH 2 kit.

Tech 2 must be at the Title Screen.

3. At the TIS 2000 Select Diagnostic Tool for

Download screen highlight your selection (TECH

2) and select the Custom update mode.

After making your selections, click Next>. A message

will appear indicating the PC is reading the contents of

the diagnostic tool.

4. The Select The Dealer Software Type to

Download screen will then be displayed. Select the

desired software type and the click Next> to

continue.

5. A Select the Applications screen will appear. The

left side of the screen lists software release

numbers. Click on the “+” sign to see a list of

different languages for each release.

6. Select the desired software version and language

by either double-clicking or clicking the Select icon.

The selected software will appear in the right side of

the screen.

To compare the current and selected Tech 2 software,

click on the Current or Selected tabs on the right side

of the screen.

7. Click on Download> to begin the update.

8. A Performing the Software Download screen will

appear. It tracks the status of the software

download.

9. When the software download is complete, a

Download Finished screen appears. Click on

Close to close the application. The TECH 2 now

contains the selected software.

USING TECH 2 ON THE VEHICLE

NOTE: Due to the constant evolution of TECH 2

software, the screens shown in this section may

differ slightly from those displayed for the vehicle

being tested.

Connecting TECH 2 To The Vehicle

1. Connect Tech 2 to the vehicle DLC, with the DLC

cable and the 16/19 pin adapter.

2. Switch the unit on by pressing the power button (2).

A green light (1) should come on indicating that the

tool is receiving power.

NOTE: At this time the technician should see the Power

On Self Test (POST) run. The POST is a built in

diagnostic self test for the TECH 2 that should find most

common system faults. The POST is run on every

power up to ensure the best operation of the tool. After

the completion of the POST, the TECH 2 unit will briefly

show the POST results. If POST passes, the tool will

continue onto the title screen. If POST fails, results of all

tests will be displayed, and this should show which test

failed. POST failures may be classified as fatal or non-

fatal. A fatal error will not allow the user to continue

using the tool. Failure of the keypad would be an

example of a fatal error. Non-fatal errors found during

the POST will allow continued use of the TECH 2, but

with some limitations. If either a fatal or non-fatal error

occurs, refer to the Troubleshooting section of the

TECH 2 User's Guide.

4. A selection can be made from the Main Menu,

either by using a function key or by using the arrow

keys to highlight a menu choice and pressing

ENTER.

•NOTE: You will then need to supply some additional

information to the TECH 2. This requires navigation

through a series of lists (called picklists). On some

menus or picklists, the user can use a function key to

make a menu selection, but most of the picklists

require using the selection and action keys. If a

mistake is made in the selection process, or if a

different application or function is desired, press EXIT

to back up one level. Within an application, there may

be soft keys which are available for use. These soft

keys allow access to additional tool functions without

exiting a current tool function. Soft keys are made up

of sets which will appear together. To see the next set

of soft keys, select the More soft key.

The TECH 2 Main Menu contains the following:

F0: Diagnostics

Contains all functions to test, diagnose, monitor and

program the different vehicle systems.

F1: Service Programming System (SPS)

SPS is used in conjunction with Technical

Information System (TIS) 2000 to program vehicle

F2: View Capture Data

Contains all functions to work with one or two

previously recorded snapshots on one or two

vehicles. This function is to enable the viewing of
