Doesn't really work like that, the LPG Kit is normally installed in a piggy back fashion over Petrol, so as far as the Car is concerned and all its ODB running, sensors and stuff it still thinks its running on Petrol.

So any LPG system faults wont show up via the ODB diagnostics (unless the LPG throws a wobbly and upsets the normal running), which in most cases the LPG will shut down and throw any faults via its own independent LPG ECU.

Some LPG systems can use an OBDII connection to the petrol ECU to look at the fuel trims and adjust their fuelling, but I'd expect that to be a feature you can turn off if installing on a non-OBDII car.

Are you doing the conversation yourself or is a garage doing it?
