    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    Just an update, I've followed 07GTS's advice and just seen whether I can narrow down after how many hours sitting cold will it sputter as it starts, and so far I've let it sit without starting it for 9 hours , and it started fine after sitting idle for 9 hours, so then I let it sit for 10 hours...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    PNR51, I did exactly the same as you did with releasing the pressure from the injector rails a couple of times, just to see whether it started up sluggish when it'd been sitting for an extended period, because fuel pressure was dropping from the rails, but just like you that doesn't seem to be...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    Hey Nitro X, I did specifically ask them to check for any sort of software update, or any sort of recall when I took it in there, and it's got that on the job sheet that I'd asked for them to check for software update (well it just says "please check software", but I spoke to the mechanic that...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    Hopefully you're able to get to the bottom of your problems, because I've just done a cold start on the last couple of days and the problem is still there, so I'm not sure what to do now that my mechanic, the Holden dealership, and also replacing the battery and I've done everything else I can...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    Hi PNR51, I can tell you that I took it to the local Holden dealership on the 29th, and they had the car overnight so they could hook it up to a scan tool and test it on a cold boot, because I'd showed them all of the stuff that I'd collected, like how I'd replaced the battery with a much larger...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    Just a quick update, the car is still doing the same thing, and I somehow think it's software related, bcoz I started it a few days ago in engineering mode, and the battery charge was only reading at 47%, so I turned it off bcoz I just wanted to see what it did after a couple of days of sitting...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    OK mate, I'll take you at your word and see what happens when I take it into the dealer, and have them scan it, but I still can't work out why my mechanic hasn't been able to find a tripped error code both times he's had the scan tool on it, and this a mechanic that actually owns a VE SSV...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    I'd consider that Tony310864, but I've only just replaced the battery with a brand new one in the last few weeks, and the problem started occurring with the old battery, which is a main reason that I replaced the battery to begin with,and since I've had the new battery installed I've had tested...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    That's exactly what I told the Holden technician/mechanic at our local dealership when I rang him about it, and I explained that it's a well known fault, and became that big of an issue that Holden had to release software updates to address the issue, and I even explained that on earlier model...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    Yeah I hate to say it, but our local Holden dealer is driven purely by money seemingly, and they were exactly the same with the last owners as well, and I get the very distinct impression that they could tell me whether there's a software update or not, just that they want the money that they'd...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    No solution yet Patrick John27 unfortunately, and I've had it back in the mechanics, and they've tried specifically to find the cause, and even connected their scan tool up on a cold start to see if it fixed it, but still no good. They even cleaned the MAF sensor, as well as the throttle body...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    I just spoke to my mate Nitro X, and he made a mistake, and did actually mean to check the MAF sensor and wiring harness for it. The reason he initially said you check the AFM plug and wiring harness, was because as a wrecker he just habitually calls them Air Flow Meters or AFM, and I questioned...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    Ah ok, I thought that it was Advanced and not Active, but I've never really looked at the actual wording, I just knew what it did. I did a little bit of reading up on the AFM, and I'm not sure where it is on the engine (because that's what I think that he was actually referring to, not the...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    The AFM is the Advanced Fuel Management system that cuts the 6.0 litre V8 back to 4 cylinders when it's not required, and then back to 8 as soon as you put your foot down, but I've got not of where the wiring system goes into the engine, or what the plug looks like (Sorry if I read that wrong...
  15. S

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    Yeah I think he was definitely referring to the AFM wiring, bcoz we were speaking about the MAF sensor and a few other things to begin with, and then he specifically said to check that the AFM plug and wires aren't damaged in some way, because I think that he thought at first that I'd put OTRCAI...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    I'm wondering whether there has been any sort of software update for the ECU on a 2011 SSV Redline at all? It's probably worth ringing them, and finding out. A mate of mine that owns a wreckers over in WA, and knows a hell of a lot about cars in general, but especially Commodores because he's...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    Yeah Nitro X it only seems to happen when the car has been sitting for an extended period, which is usually overnight, but it has happened once when I've driven it to work and it was sitting there all day and hadn't been started until I was ready to go home. It doesn't seem like a rough idle...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    I always run 98 octane, so I wouldn't think that it'd be the plugs fouling up, and and it only sputters the once, which is the very first start of the morning, and from then on its flawless. Like I said earlier my mechanic serviced it the other day, and I would've thought that he would've...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    Hi, I'm hoping that someone might be able to tell me what might be causing my 2011 VE SSV to sputter when it starts cold in the morning, because I'm running out of ideas. The car has just been serviced a few days ago, and I've just had the battery replaced a little over a week ago with a much...

    VX Berlina ABS Module

    Thanks mpower mate, I really appreciate the pics that you uploaded, so I can get a good idea of just what I would've been looking at. From the looks of the pictures, there looks to be 2 reasons why these modules all fail at some point, and that's either that the soldering joins are actually to...

    VX Berlina ABS Module

    Thanks MPower, much appreciated mate, hopefully when I receive the new module, that it'll be either a 389 or 486 module, and it'll match the existing module, but until it gets here, then all I can do is sit back and wait. I was really considering pulling my old faulty module out today, and...

    VX Berlina ABS Module

    Thanks Ogie1981, I think I might do that, because it seems as though that's the only way that I'm gonna get to the bottom of it all for sure, even Burson's only asked what type of engine (V6 or Gen 3), and if it had Traction or not, but they didn't ask for a VIN number, or the existing part...

    VX Berlina ABS Module

    Yeah st3r3otyp3 mate, I've actually got just the black electrical module part/sensor being sent to me by a mate that's just removed one from a VY SS over in WA, and I just got him to send the sensor part, and not the entire module, because it was going to save on costs to ship it, and I knew...

    VX Berlina ABS Module

    Thanks mpower, I really appreciate mate, so will a module that ends in 389 or 486 both work in my car, or does it have to match whatever the code is on the unit that comes out of my car? I'm guessing that if the VY SS module is a unit that ends in 590, that there's probably more things to...

    VX Berlina ABS Module

    I just rang a local wreckers and they said that as long as the ABS control module that I'm getting, has come off an ABS module from a VT/VX/VY that has the 2 lines coming out of the back of the module, like mine has, then I should be fine. Apparently as long as both parts are from a VT/VX/VY...

    VX Berlina ABS Module

    Yeah I'm 99% certain that you can't bridge the pins on a vehicle fitted with an LS1/Gen 3 engine at all, at least it won't allow you to access the engine error codes, because I had to replace an oil pressure sensor a while back, and I couldn't diagnose what was wrong, because I couldn't check...
  28. S

    VX Berlina ABS Module

    I didn't actually think that I could cross pins to check error codes, because they're both Gen 3 (LS1) engines. I was under the impression that you could only do that with the V6/Ecotec engines. The control module that I'm being sent actually has Traction Control, and my Berlina has Traction...

    VX Berlina ABS Module

    Hi I was hoping that someone might be able to clear something up for me, my ABS module on my VX Berlina (LS1 with Traction Control), appears to be faulty, and I've checked that it's not potentially something else, just by unplugging the ABS plug when it lights up, and the oil pressure light...

    Question about a VS fuel pump?

    Yeah the O2 sensor looked to be pretty full of carbon deposits, and when we changed the plugs from that side of the engine, they looked as though they were a fair bit blacker with carbon deposits, than the plugs of the right side of the engine. So whether the fault code saying that the left O2...

    Question about a VS fuel pump?

    Yeah I didn't think that it would be an injector problem, because I thought that something should've shown up when I checked it for error codes, and the only one that came up at all, was 64, which was the left hand O2 sensor lean, so I pulled it out, gave it and the wiring plug a clean (just...
  32. S

    Question about a VS fuel pump?

    Thanks Hako, I'll give that a try tomorrow, and see how it goes. I should've added earlier, that we even went to the trouble of removing a plug from each of the 3 coil packs, and turning it over, just too make sure that it wasn't 1 of the coil packs, or the module that they sit on, that had...

    Question about a VS fuel pump?

    Thanks guys, yeah I checked the error codes today, to see what had been logged, and the only error that had been logged was 64 (LHS O2 Sensor Lean), so I took it out and give it a clean, and disconnected the battery, and put the sensor back in, so I can check whether it just was partly stuffed...

    Question about a VS fuel pump?

    Hi guys, I got a call from my sister today, that her VS Calais wasn't starting, and it started sputtering and cut out last night, and her and her partner basically flattened the battery this morning, when they were trying to find out what was wrong, and I asked on the phone this morning whether...

    Question about a wheel speed sensor on VX Berlina LS1?

    Thanks for posting those fault codes, because that's a fair bit more detailed than what I had. That link that you posted from eBay, is the only one that I could find too, which had me thinking that they might actually have different name for some stupid reason (even though it's the same thing)...

    Question about a wheel speed sensor on VX Berlina LS1?

    Just a question, why can't I find wheel speed sensor's when I'm searching for them on eBay? I must be using the wrong search phrase or something?? I've tried a bunch of variation's, using Holden, gen 3, LS1, and even dropping both wheel, and speed from the search phrase, and I'm not finding...

    Question about a wheel speed sensor on VX Berlina LS1?

    Thanks mate, it's appreciated. I'm looking at a VT/VX workshop manual here, and I'm trying too find a complete list of all of the ABS error codes, and I can't find them, but I have found the codes for the wheel speed sensors. It looks as though 28 is for a general/unknown wheel speed sensor...

    Question about a wheel speed sensor on VX Berlina LS1?

    Thanks mate, I appreciate that, I really do. I'll give it a go tomorrow, and see what error codes come up. I might send you a PM tomorrow with the list of codes that come up, because I've found a list of some of them, but I don't think its the complete list, just the main ones. That's if you...

    Question about a wheel speed sensor on VX Berlina LS1?

    I just came across this thread, on reading ABS error codes https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/abs-error-codes.56087, with a VR/VS, but it looks as though it's the same procedure for VT/VX's, so I just wanted too make sure that it'll work with a VX that's powered by an LS1/Gen 3? And I...

    Question about a wheel speed sensor on VX Berlina LS1?

    Is there a thread on here somewhere, about how too read/interpret the ABS dash lights, as they flash. I'm assuming that it's similar to what you'd do with the V6's, where a certain amount of flashes, corresponds to a certain fault code, but I'm not sure whether it's exactly the same flash...
