    Stability Controll fault / Contact Dealer

    Been a while as the Car was up against the fence for some time!!! Turns out the ECU was defective. Had to get it repaired as no new ones available so ECU, BCU and immobiliser out... Happy to say that it's been ok now for about 3 months. Ridiculous environment it lives in. I'm sure a cooler place...

    Stability Controll fault / Contact Dealer

    Sure did... That's no to say there's not an intermittent joint on one of the ecu connectors internally... Doesn't take much heat to make it fail... At the end of the day, the ecu's (for the LFX) are clearly not as reliable as some may think. Holden have literally hundreds on back order (aust...

    Stability Controll fault / Contact Dealer

    Cold ambient temp (about 15 deg or less) and throttle kicks when turning key and fires, no dealer errors, heat ecu with a heatgun on low, get the ecu just warm, turn on ignition, no throttle kick and dealer error appears. Let it cool down again and problem gone (albeit a MIL)... I can repeat...

    Stability Controll fault / Contact Dealer

    Finally got time to have another look at my VE. No wiring defects that I could find... Cool the ECU down, starts every time. Heat it up and fails every time. Repeated numerous times and is consistent so suspect the ECU requires replacement. Now just have to wait for Holden to get ECUs in stock...

    Stability control fault car wont start.

    U0100 when defective (X contact dealer, ABS fault, no crank) with the ECU not showing on the tool. No kick from Throttle actuator. When comes good (randomly), Throttle actuator kicks, ECU appears, cranks and P0700 (TCM) requested MIL (likely due to no canbus comms from ECU) and another code I...

    Stability control fault car wont start.

    Hi Mate Did you have any luck with this? My 2011 SV6 has a similar issue except mine is broken more than working. After it fails, then starts again, i've got an engine light.

    Stability Controll fault / Contact Dealer

    Hi Mate Done 9.2v at forward fuse box on crank. Voltage on analyzer for ECU is same as battery voltage when running so no drop from fuse box to ECU. I did find it odd though that it was charging at 15.3v (at ECU through analyzer ) which I thought a bit high. Checked it at the battery, and the...

    Stability Controll fault / Contact Dealer

    Mine started occuring suddenly one morning and happens vitualy every time within the hour of shutting it down after it comes good and I reset the error codes. I still have a feeling it's ECU on mine. It's a pain they are unavailable. Will be interesting to see what they find with yours. Cheers

    Stability Controll fault / Contact Dealer

    Thanks mate I'd really appreciate that!!! Mine's a MY12 SV6 as well... I was going to look for obvious wiring harness/connector damage but simply haven't had the time. One thing the holden dealer said is try another key but I think that was before I told him everything i'd already done. So...

    Stability Controll fault / Contact Dealer

    Hi Mate How did you go with this? I'm getting the same displayed faults and no crank, U0100 code. I've run a scan and while the fault is present, the ECM will not show up obviously casing the U0100. It will suddenly spring to life and remains with P0700 (tcm fault) and both TCM and BCM showing...

    Thanks mate I'll see if I can find some relevant diagrams so, even if I do end up taking it somewhere for repair, I'll at least know when to call bullshit!! Cheers

    VE Engine Control Module replacement

    Hi Mate You seem to have a reasonable knowledge on ECU related issues on the VE... Wonder if you'd mind offering your opinion/advice.... I have a VE series 2 SV6 showing alternating contact dealer and stability control fault with no crank. It will occasionally spring to life with a subsequent...

    Stability Control Fault and Contact dealer dash warnings 2011 VE SV6

    A friend of mine had his windscreen replaced on a 2012 VE SV6 wagon. Apparently there was areas of sealant missing on the original windscreen. The repair guy said it's quite common on VEs and does lead to internal leaks.

    Stability Control Fault and Contact dealer dash warnings 2011 VE SV6

    Cheers mate I managed to get it started last night after warnings disappeared. Measured the volts at the front fuse box and dropping to 9.2v on crank. Not measured at the battery terminals. Not sure what the normal voltage drop from battery to the under bonnet electrics is under crank in a VE...

    Stability Control Fault and Contact dealer dash warnings 2011 VE SV6

    Yep, ELM Scanner. Disconnected dongle after DTC reset, fault still reoccurs. I'll check the voltage at the fuse box and, if the dash displayed errors go so I can start, I'll check the crank volts to ensure Battery is ok. Cheers

    Stability Control Fault and Contact dealer dash warnings 2011 VE SV6

    Hi mate Dunno coz I cant start it. Hard faulted at the moment. If I can get the fault cleared again at some point so I can start, I will check the cranking volts. Problem is, while the 2 messages show on the dash, I cant do anything. They will randomly disappear, along with a clunk I heard last...

    Stability Control Fault and Contact dealer dash warnings 2011 VE SV6

    Hey VE/VF Holden electrical gurus out there. Have a 2011 VEII SV6 that’s just spat up a “contact dealer and Stability Control Fault message on the dash. Unable to crank. Both these messages alternate. Sticking my ULM scanner on there showed code U0100 (ECU no communication). Tried resetting, no...

    Cold start rattle on LS3 - piston slap :) Engine replaced

    Your slap sounds exactly the same as my VF SS L77 6L. Yours sounds a bit worse than mine though... Had it looked at 3 times by Holden (different dealerships) under warranty. All considered it to be within spec whatever that is... Also apparently considered normal on L77 and LS3 according to GM...

    VF bimodal pin diagram

    Hey mate Where did you get hold of the plug? Is it available as a spare from Holden? I've fitted a pair of vf2 bimodals to my vf1 afm auto and wanna toy with the position of the flap to see if I can maintain a half decent note whilst minimising the afm drone... Sound quite good untill the afm...

    Does series 2 bimodal exhaust drone if open permanently?

    Gents I've gotten hold of a pair of factory VF2 bimodals for my series 1 but a couple of questions if someone can help Firstly, on a vf2 with the bimodal switched off in mylink, does the flap remain shut at all rpm or does it still open at 3K? (more breath??) Secondly, I'll be fitting these with...

    Does series 2 bimodal exhaust drone if open permanently?

    Gents Do the VFII bimodal mufflers fit to a VF1 exhaust with no mods? Thinking of buying a 2nd hand pair for my VF1. I'm led to believe the flap is also open with no power. Is that correct? Cheers

    SSV, SS, Caprice, Calais V, L77, 6.0 Litre Piston Slap / Rattle Cold Start.

    Hey Mate My MY15 SSV L77 suffers the same thing. I'm certain it's a degree of piston slap. Makes the noise under light load and essentially gone after about 5-10Mins of warmup. I mentioned this to the GM service dept last service and they claimed it to be normal. I had them document it all the...

    VF Holden Commodore Issues and Faults

    VF L77 piston slap?? Hey Guys I have a 2015 SSV auto (L77) which I believe is suffering piston slap. When cold, under light acceleration there is a distinct rattle which varies with load. Slowly gets better as the engine warms and is not present when at operating temperature. Almost sounds...
