    *Jesus* you are an utter fuckwit. Holden never used OBD2 until
    the very last models. VE onwards.

    OBD2 was present on previous models, it just wasn't mandatory.

    OMG what the fuck are you on about now you ridiculous clueless
    halfwit? OBD2 was introduced with the VT so that would be 1998 with
    the introduction of the 5.7L V8. That's over 25 years ago!

    Jesus you're fucking clueless :)

    OBD2 compliance wasn't mandatory in Australia until January 1 2006, and

    Nobody said it was mandatory, just that it was *introduced* on the VT.
    OBD2 became mandatory in the US in 1996. GM knew it would become
    mandatory in Australia in time so began putting it on cars here *before*
    it became mandatory. That way, industry would be prepared for it. For
    sure, I did a course on OBD2 *before* 2001 because OBD2 was already
    present on some Australian vehicles by then.

    A good point to make here is that, in the VT Commodore, the 5.7L Gen III
    LS1 V8 was first used. This engine was a direct transplant from the US
    and, as such, it was LEV certified. The LSII engines were LEV certified
    from ~2001-2004. That means they would have been OBD2 compliant, even
    here in Australia even though it wasn't mandatory.


    prior to this manufacturers used OBD1 or their own specific format
    system which is exactly what Holden did. The First Commodore model
    released in Australia that was truly OBD2 compatible was the VE model.
    Prior to this their compliance was his and miss depending on the model/ engine combination.

    Compliant and compatible, learn the difference. A lot of engines in
    Australia were OBD2 compatible but local laws did not require
    compliance. Holden, for one, just used the ECMs that were used in *OBD2 compliant US engines. Do you seriously think that GM would create a
    separate ECM system just for Australia when it can simply use OBD2
    compliant systems in a small market, like Australia, where compliance
    isn't an issue?

    Everyone loves quoting AI at the moment, including you, so suck on this:

    Holden introduced OBD2 compliant models starting in 2006 for

    Again, learn the difference between compliant and compatible.

    vehicles manufactured in Australia and New Zealand. Specifically,
    all Holden vehicles manufactured after January 1, 2006, were
    required to be OBD-II compliant. While some earlier models may have
    been compliant, it varied by manufacturer and model.


    Key points:

    Mandatory Compliance: All Holden vehicles manufactured in Australia
    and New Zealand after January 1, 2006, were required to be OBD-II
    compliant.

    Were *required* to be OBD-II compliant after January 1, 2006.
    Were *already* OBD-II *compatible* long *before* January 1, 2006

    Pre-2006 Models: Some earlier Holden models might have
    been OBD-II compliant, but it was not a standard requirement and
    varied by vehicle.

    There was no law in Australia to be compliant with - BUT - many models
    *in Australia* were already compatible with US OBD-II LEV laws.

    Specific Models: For example, the Commodore from
    the VZ series was OBD2 compliant from 2006, as were the Astra,
    Barina, Caprice, and Captiva from 2006 or later. The Colorado and
    Crewman were compliant from 2007 or later.

    Still don't get the difference between compliant and compatible Darren?

    That you claim that you were leading hand/Foreman at a Holden dealership
    yet seem to be as blissfully unaware of this as you were about
    Windscreen construction is staggering enough, but you seem to be content
    to totally ignore the fact that *all* of this is completely irrelevant
    to the *fact* that once a DTC has gone through the minimum number of restarts without the fault being detected the code is permanently
    deleted and *cannot* randomly be retrieved weeks later.

    No matter *what* scan tool you're using :)

    Houston, we have a problem - and the problem is YOU, Darren. More to the point, it's your bullshit story. You claimed the owner had to clear the
    codes in order to keep driving the vehicle. If the vehicle becomes
    undrivable, typically by being placed into *Limp-In Mode*, code clearing
    will not work. The reason - when misfires have triggered a DTC severe
    enough to cause limp-in mode, the DTCs will be *permanent DTCs* and
    cannot be cleared by the code reader. Even if the vehicle is returned to driveability, the codes will remain as P Codes and can only be removed
    by the ECM when 40 successful *consecutive* drive cycles have been
    completed. BTW, YOU came up with the number 40, and you are correct,
    it's one of the few things you seem to understand from your Googling. In
    my experience, an engine suffering random misfires will not make 40 consecutive drive cycles without a recurrence - and every recurrence
    resets the drive cycle requirement back to 40.

    That's just *one* of the many reasons why I know your misfire story is bullshit. The PDTCs will always remain and be readable in any decent
    OBD2 compliant code reader and scanner.
