You are meant to put it into diagnostics mode & set the timing to 10 degrees.

On a vr/s or a vt there is a black pad with pins on it above the brake pedal,bridge pins 5 & 6 with a wire or split pin then start car & check the timing on the balancer,to adjust timingby turning the distributer.
If you want to check fault codes,you do the same thing,bridge pins 5 & 6 then then turn on the ignition & fault codes will come up.
Vn/p have a plug up under the dash on the passenger side that you bridge the pins on to put it into diagnostics mode.I may have a diagram for that on photobucket.

Think it's out of the holden manual.On a vl I wired up few months back I used a test light to check for fault codes.
