- VS S2 Wagon
Hello im new to this forum and thought i could find some answers here.
I recently purchased a VS series 2 V6 auto wagon that needs a bit of work, among that is the fact you have to press the unlock button on the remote to make the car start (it will crank but not fire).
I flashed the codes through the ALDL connector and engine light and got 3 (12-No RPM signal, 31- Theft deterant signal missing, and 47-Crank angle reference missing). The key remote is physically broken aswell as the key reader so i was expecting the theft deterant code and assumed that was why it wasnt starting.
However when i removed the fuse box panel for another reason i noticed the BCM was wrapped in a plastic glad bag and a wire on it was cut from the loom and joined to earth. I found a wiring diagram on the net and the wire is the the start enable (The loom end is earthed, the BCM side is just sticking out of the plug).
I took the BCM out and it appears to be a second hand one from the wreckers (Has VS wagon and a VIN number not matching mine written on it).
Why was it wrapped in plastic and why would the start enable wire be earthed? And will replacing the key remote holder and key reader fix the starting problem?
