New Software Release

[CSP]

Guys,

According to my Service Manager, there's a software release coming out some time in the next two to three weeks for the VE series. Upgrading is considered a warranty job.

One of the problems I've been told it fixes is the ESP flashing and dinging once at completely random times while driving. They also think the new software version will allow the Tech2 to program the colour of the full screen/instrument lights (SSV, Calais, Calais V, Statesman, Caprice, HSVs). So I'll be getting my Calais changed to the SSV colours

Cheers!

Awesum. I've seen that ESP problem occasionally .. hasn't done it for a while, but I have seen it occur.

Thanks for the tip .. I'm at just under 12,000kms at the moment, hopefully it'll be out by the time i hit 15,000

Just wondered if anyone has had this fixed? I tried to get it fixed today, following Cousin Slow Poke's suggestion of Techline Reference is: Group 12 | TL1153 - 0701 in another thread, and they told me is was for VZ (which is mentioned in another thread) and is definitely not applicable for my car.

I told them that Suttons was applying that to the VE's even though it shows being for the VZ but they wouldn't listen, told me I didn't know what I was talking about!!

They were so rude, I'm considering writing to the dealership manager to complain about the way the service dept handles their customers, as this isn't the only time they've spoken to me like this. Last time I simply asked for a list of what they'd done and i got a big sigh and a roll of the eyes from them!

Hmmm... Not cool.

Was definitely fixed on my VE Calais. I would ring Holden Customer Relations (as in head office, not any dealer).

Might just do that, once I've calmed down a bit

Which Suttons dealership did you go to when you got this fixed?

Homebush I think from memory...

the software update for VE is new BCM software to fix the battery charging issue.
there is no way to change the illumination colors, the LED's are soldered in the dash.
The VZ update in the techline cannot be applied to the VE as it uses a completely different system.

The VE fix isnt specifically for the ESP issues, this is caused by the battery voltage being marginal at cranking load causing the EBCM to log a low battery fault.

Hope this clears it up a bit.

Mate that exact thing happened to my VE HSV Clubsport R8 yesterday while I was just driving on a freeway and the esp button did not work until I turned off the car...
It says in the book that it is a fault and to take it back to you HSV dealer for repare so I did and all they told me was that it was a random glitch in the esp/esc system.

I would love to know more about the update and will it work for HSV's aswell.
I wouldnt mind being able to change the colour of my screen light too haha.

Cheers
Danny.
