    Default VT ...Urgent Help Please

    Hi guys im new in here i have a VT it all started when i was getting fuel when i went to start thr car again it wouldnt the central locking wouldnt work the immob wouldnt de activate .. after talking to a few people i came to the conclusion that the BCM may have failed, i bought another one the same(688 LOW) with a matching key head now the central locking works and the immob deactivates ..when i go to start it ..it just grunts and wont fire up any ideas guys im running out of options as i need this car for work any thoughts would be great

    It won't start until the BCM and ECU are linked. This is for security reasons to stop thieves using their own BCM to steal a car. The linking needs to be done with a Tech 2.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    thanks for that i did wonder if the BCM had to be linked to the ECU, i sorta thought with replacing with the same BCM 688 Low and matching key head it would have fired up but what ur saying makes sence, Do you know how long it takes to to do with a tech 2 and the costs involoved ? ill be trying to get a mobile Auto Elect ...anybody know of one in Brisbane (southside)

    I shouldn't take too long at all, a few minutes I'd say. As for cost, I don't know but get a few quotes form Holden and auto electricians. A mobile mechanic would be best I suppose, since you can't drive it but whether the mobile mechanics can do it is another story.
