- VX1 5.7L Berlina Wagon A4
I have a VX 5.7L auto Berlina wagon and I have got the engine light, oil light and Trac off light up on my dash. Did some reading here and thought it was the ABS module, so I got it repaired and I put it back in but the lights are still up on the dash. So I took it to a good Holden dealer I know for a scan and they said the tech2 couldn't communicate with the car. They did some searching and found that the PIM (powertrain interface module) was stuffed. Apparently Holden don't make these anymore for the VX so I have to source a second hand one myself.
From reading on the net I have found that before the PIM is removed from a car for use in another car it has to be reset with a tech2 so that it can then be linked with a tech2 to the new car. I have asked the sellers of PIM's I have found online but none of them have been reset prior to removal, they have just been pulled out.
So my question is, can these PIM's be used on my car without being reset in the original car. If I get the VIN info for the car the PIM came from will this help me?
Thanks for any info.
