this is quite usefull for vauxhalls (from autobarnstormers forum)
Dis-engage the diagnostics plug from its socket.
This is positioned at the rear of the engine bay on the passengers side on cavalier/calibra’s, on the astra3 it’s in the fusebox, and on vectra’s around the handbrake.
It has 10 pins.
Short pins A & K to read the ABS codes. (for example)
The ABS warning light will start to flash as follows.
The code 12 is first flashed three times, this is a marker
If a code is stored it is then flashed three times.
The code 12 is then flashed three times, this is a separator
If a 2nd code is stored it is then flashed three times or the first code is repeated.
The code 12 is then flashed three times, this is a separator
etc
To clear codes you should disconnect the battery for a minimum of
10 minutes and then re-connect.
ABS. Short pins A and K on the diag plug
Early models which have the old ABS system where the control unit is located at the side of the passenger seat in a lump in the carpet do not usually have this fault code facility. Check whether the diag plug has a wire at location K.
Calibra 2WD H reg models should be able to read codes out.

17 RH Front Solenoid ( Relay & Connections )
18 Rear Solenoids ( Relay & Connections )

34 Solenoid Valve Voltage Low
37 Brake Lamp Switch
39 No ABS signal (MPH) or 0 MPH and 2300rpm for greater than 15 seconds

58 ABS status signal open circuit
63 Throttle motor (ETC) motor open circuit
64 Throttle motor (ETC) motor short circuit
82 On/Off switch voltage low.
A common problem is the traction control motor plug being damp.
The TC coolant temperature sensor is located in the engine ecu coolant temperature sensor on the 20XE M2.5. If this is found to be faulty is should be replaced with the correct sensor. ie a black one not a blue one.
Fault codes 39,42,44,46,57 Are faults with the ABS system not the traction control system and therefore the ABS light should be on. Fix the ABS fault and the traction control fault code should go away.
In the unlikly event no ABS fault can be found check the following wires that run between the ABS and TC ecu
Blue, Blue/green, Blue/white, Blue/red, Brown/yellow. Listed in order of faultcode numbers.
Alarm by shorting pins A and H.
The code is flashed out on the ultrasonic led.
The Ultrasonic button clears the codes.
18 Fault with disarm signal
25 Horn Voltage Low Horn O/C or fuse blown
26 Indicator Left open circuit
27 Indicator Right open circuit
28 Ultrasonic driver side open circuit or incorrect voltage

K Grey ABS
* Later models, approx 1994 Model year L reg which do not have mechanical speedo cables will have a wire in location J
approx 1995 Model year M reg do not have a wire in location J
However on both of the above, the code flash technique does not work. (Only Tech 1)
# Later models which do not have a wire in location J, the Traction control code can not be read out with this flash techique.
% Later M reg + Calibra models, the Alarm codes can not be read out with this flash techique.
Engine ECU fault codes 2.0 8v, 16v, Ecotec, Turbo, V6
Dis-engage the diagnostics plug from its socket.
This is positioned at the rear of the engine bay on the passengers side on cavalier/calibra’s, on the astra3 it’s in the fusebox, and on vectra’s around the handbrake and omega on the panel by the fusebox.
It has 10 pins.
Short pins A & B to read the engine ecu codes. Brown & Brown/yellow
16 pin connectors, On the Vectra / Omega short pins 4 & 6
Start the engine, management warning light will start to flash as follows.
The code 12 is first flashed three times, this is a marker.
If a code is stored it is then flashed three times.
The code 12 is then flashed three times, this is a separator.
If a 2nd code is stored it is then flashed three times or the first code is repeated.
The code 12 is then flashed three times, this is a separator.
etc
Once all codes have been displayed then stop engine and remove wire.
To clear codes you should disconnect the battery for a minimum of
10 minutes and then re-connect. This also has the effect of resetting
the ECU parameters to their defaults and forces the adaptive learning
circuits to start again. Within approx. 200 miles the ECU will have
adapted.

Acrobat reader (Adobe acrobat) is available as a free download !
Unfortunately the plug is not stamped with the pin idents and the Adobe download has a picture of the connector with the pin idents.
For those that don't have Adobe, the Carlton plug is as follows : - with the locking catch on the right, the left hand row begins with A at the bottom and runs A,B,C,D,E up to the top.
The right hand row runs from the top down beginning with F, and runs F,G,H,J,K ( there is no I )
E, J and K have no connector

Oooh ! you are a tease  Personally, I don't need a copy because I have one in my Carlton file and carry one in the car However, easy access to the original would be valuable to large numbers of TC members and guests though and I stand by the statement that I made some time ago in the post below  http://totalcarlton.com/forums/index.php/topic,10500.msg83735.html#msg83735 |

I've edited my "copied" post to say it was from autobarnstormers and thankyou to Ian Marsh for the info,
to be honest I've never been a member of ABS to be able to read posts ,so i may have copied it from another vauxhall forum migweb ? anyway ....
Thanks for sharing the information Mr BC
