1. GENERAL I NFORMATI O N

The T ECH 2 is a hand-held diagnostic computer designed specifically to help you diagnose and repair electronic

systems used on Holden vehicles.

When diagnosing a VU Series vehicle electronic systems, you should refer to the relevant system in the

appropriate Section of the Service Information.

The operation of TECH 2 is the same as for VX Series vehicles.

On VU Series vehicles the PCM does not contain a removable PROM. It uses an EEPROM (Flash Memory) which

is non removable. The PCM is programmed from the factory with the proper calibrations for vehicle operation.

In the event that the PCM is replaced, or an updated calibration is required to correct a vehicle's operating

condition, the PCM will have to be programmed with the new calibration. Programming is accomplished through

the vehicle DLC using the TECH 2 Service Programming System (SPS) and the TIS.

W ith the exception of the Model Year and Vehicle Type selections during the Vehicle Identification process (ref er

Figs.0C-1 and 0C-2), all information relating to TECH 2 and SPS for VU 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.
