ecu

Hey.. So I'm replacing the ECU in my 2000 VX commodore. I've already sussed out the right one by the code on the side of the one already in it. My issue is that, I messaged the commodore shop and their telling me I need to replace the BCM as well? But yet everywhere I've looked, it's said that I...

hey guys, ecotec overheated few days ago, spilled coolant out of what i assume is the ressie. filled it back up and bled it, drove home fine. read the codes the cars throwing, as the check engine light came on a few times for 10 seconds over the last month, thought nothing of it. Codes 13...

Hey, just after some advice. I’m having fault 31 coming up on ‘96 VS Ute, turns over but won’t start. As far as I understand it’s the BCM not sending a signal. I also think the key might be broken. My question is, will either of these 2 fixes work? 1) replace BCM + key fob Or 2) get a new key...

Hey guys and gal's I'm running a 2002 wh statesman ls1... check engine light comes on but not codes thrown, Coil, lead and injector are all ok, cylinder 1 is receiving 12v on reds and 14v with engine running but not sparking, I've replaced Coil,lead and plug with no difference I'm thinking maybe...

Hi all, When I originally bought my VE wagon I took it in for timing chain replacement and roadworthy, my mechanic completely swapped my engine with a second hand motor without telling me and then lied on the RWC, keeping the original engine number so I wouldn't catch on. Only reason I've...

Hey guys, Replacing my ecu since it’s gone haywire, won’t read through the obd2 scanner, keeps causing misfires and trans shifting issues but goes away when reset then comes back. I’ve read I need a tech2 to pair the ecu and bcm together, will any other scan tool work? Or is there anyway...

Hi everyone, I have recently converted a VZ V6 from auto to manual, everything on the car works except for the speedo, I have had a look at the other threads and online in general but i cant seem to find someone with the same problem, I have the AUTO Fuse in and the car displays the max speed on...

G’day gents! I’ve recently purchased a wrecked V8 statesman (97) and am wanting to do a motor transplant into my V6 ute (98) Was wondering if I’ll be able to use the loom and ecu out of the statesman as the ute is obviously a lot more basic (no power windows, rear windows etc) Any advice would...

Hi I have changed 2 ecu's on my 2011 ve the car would drive until it got hot and cut out with all instruments going haywire and engine warning light flickering. I changed the ecu and it ran fine for few months until it did the same thing so I have changed it again and now the fault code P0158...

Hi all, My old man has a 2004 VY V6, the engine needed to be replaced, so he replaced it with one from a VX which had a stage 2 cam from MACE Engineering, he hadn't realised at the time but the calibration couldn't easily be swapped over, the car was running with VY ECU, but stalling and...

Hi there, i’m having a strange problem with my car, bad timing chain codes and engine lights along with bad drive etc, bad timing chain replaced and now it drives good as new but after a while it trips out again and does same as before, but when clearing the codes it drives good as new for...

Hey Everybody! Just wondering whether it is a good idea to reset the ECU on my VL as it is having a hard time sometimes finding the right place to idle, it will jump from 900 to 1100 then back to 800. Also wondering where the ECU is located, however I can probably find that out in the manual...

Hi there. Having an issue with a 1994 statesman. Car won't start. Also clock has stopped working and fan kicks in when ignition is turned on. Speedometer does not display either. Code42 shows on my reader. I am thinking it is the ECU considering the symptoms. Does this sound correct or would...

Hi all, Putting this post up to track a fault and for future reference in the hopes it helps other people who may encounter the same problem. I have a 2014 VF SSV ute (L77 6.0) that has developed a sudden stall after approximately 40 minutes of driving or running, with the message "Engine Power...

Starter relay isn’t pulling in, have tested it and the switched Earth it gets from BCM/ECU isn’t getting there allowing it to pull. Guessed at park switch, replaced it, still nothing. Bridged a known earth...

Hey guys, I can’t seem to find anything on relocating the ecu for the l76, all I can find is LS1 info. Just wondering who’s done it and how you did it. Trying to tidy up the engine bay but can’t seem to find anything for it.

Hi All, Looking if someone can help provide me a pin out for the ABS module in the VY V8, Im after the rear Solenoid connections (Connector YE98 from what ive found). i have done a fair bit of research but all i can find is the sensors that are labeled and not the solenoids even in the service...

Hey guys I got a 2006 vz Leo sedan and was having random codes spat out and really rough idle/kept shutting down so I got it towed home and the tow truck guy had a wagon that he basicly gave to me, got the mechanic to do the engine swap and now the car eventually starts and runs smooth as. But...

My Series 2 Sportswagon has (had) a warning sensor for if something wandered into my path when reversing. A year ago it stopped working. Not particularly bothered, but it has a warning buzzer that sounds whenever I start and there is a warning in my dash all of the time about it. This is...

Hey guy, so I have a vz sv6 that had a no crank issue and only working once we jumped the starter relay that we later found out it was a bad BCM. I found out that we could replace ECM BCM and pim with a matching key and it should all be plug and play. At the moment it is just cranking but...

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone knows how I can disable the torque management on the ecu? No I don't want to do this for skids I want to do it cause I like to open it up on the highway a little and it just feels gutless, and can only think that it's the torque management being a pain...

G'day guys, I have a worked 02 vu maloo thats auto that I just got a full 02 vu ss to do the conversion. I know this has been posted a few times but I can't get a straight answer. Do I actually have to change the ecu/pcm to go to manual? And if so why would i not be able to just keep my stock...

So VZ SV8 battery died and now I have lost all the good options in the menu?? Used to have multi stage unlock, headlight, horn bips, interior illumination etc... options but after the battery died now all I have is trip, rest, over speed and the other base options. I have disconnected and left...

To put an 05 VZ alloytec and 6sp manual box into an Auto 06 VE Omega, would that be a stuff about or what? How would I go about doing that with the possibility the ecu and computer won’t plug in. Worked on about every other car bar a Holden.

A couple of months ago I developed a low fuel warning issue with my 2005 VZ Wagon. Even though I had a full tank of fuel each time I would start my car I get a low fuel warning. I press mode on my dash to remove the warning but the fuel icon is still stays. The warning doesn't come back while...

Hey everyone, so I blew my motor in my vx bout a month ago and brought a motor and box out of a Vy with the loom, I was wondering if anyone know if it's straight plug and play or if there's any differences between the 2 , cheers

Hey all, I jumped in the VZ Calais today only for it to not start; it's not even cranking at all. With this, there's a fuel gauge error and there's also very low fuel - but the tank is full. Also, from time to time when it was running, there would be some instances of it not starting on the...

Hey Folks, Seems i'm encountering an issue with my Vz (6 cylinder 175 kw), i'm getting a cylinder misfiring/locking out under very specific circumstances. On a cold start, car runs fine and will run fine indefinitely. However, do a trip and leave the car to rest for 10 minutes, turning on the...

Hey guys, so I own an optioned out 2004 vz SV6 manual. Not very common as I've come to realise but need clarification with these dang ecus. Sadly there is basically no information and if there is, no one is sharing or it's hard to find. My ecu is basically fried. Fuel gauge error occasionally...

Hi, I needed to replace the engine in my VE as the old one carked it! Ringing around, I found that Heaps of people have different ideas on what is right and what works/doesn't work.. I needed an LFX engine and found one for a very reasonable price. Only problem was that it came off a VF (but...

What's the best settings for lean cruise? Can I save fuel by setting road speed to say 55 rather than 70 and changing the afrs from 18.1 to 15.4?
