ok vauxhall vectra c
opel tech2 usb plug in thing from ebay
now what software should i used to read fault codes as every now and again i get the managment light come on

ebay tech2 obd thing

Is your oil filter on the front of the engine just above the crankshaft sensor if so when you change the oil the old oil can sometimes get in between the sensor and the connector causeing the light to come on you need to remove th connector and clean it out with brake cleaner then put some grease on the contacts and re-connect that will solve that fault


the other common one is the camshaft and crankshaft sensors or out of sync usuall occurs when the timing belt goes slack

digimoto software works well but there are quite few others that are good (scantool and carcode to name a couple)

Cheers

Scantool works well on anything I have tried to connect to although I occaisionally find it falls over and needs a reboot of the PC, Digimotor dosen't work for me at all, but I have an older Elmscan OBD interface.


Because it is less hassle than my Elmscan inteface most of the time I just use a U380 code reader i bought from AlphaBid unless I really need to read sensor outputs.
