1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The T ECH 2 is a hand- held diagnostic c omputer des igned s pec if ic ally to help you diagnose and repair electronic
systems used on Holden vehicles.
The operation of TECH 2 on V2 Series Models is the same as the operation of TECH 2 on VX Series II Models.
On V2 Series vehicles the PCM does not contain a removable PROM. It uses an EEPROM (Flash Memory)
which is non-removable. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is programmed at the factory with the proper
calibrations for vehicle operation.
If the PCM is r eplaced, or an updated calibration is required to corr ect a vehicle's operating condition, the PCM
will have to be programmed with the new calibration. Programming is accomplished through the vehicle Data
Link Connector (DLC) using the TECH 2 Service Programming System (SPS) and the Technical Information
Service (TIS).
With the exception of the Model Year and Vehicle Type selections during the Vehicle Identification process (refer
Figs.0C-1 and 0C-2), all information relating to TECH 2 and SPS for V2 Series Models carries over from VX
Series Models. For information relating to TECH 2 and SPS not provided in this Section, refer to
Section 0C TECH 2 of the VX Series Service Information.
