You can really only stand a chance of finding the original BCM and ECM with trial and error or with a heap of mad skills on a high end bi-directional scan tool.i don't have the original key fob as the owner bf me lost it and that's where the hole trouble started is there another way to get around not haveing the original key fob if i can figure out witch bcm and ecm is the original
Look at the cars network like a home wifi. All the passwords have to match on the network or devices don’t connect. In the case of the VE, each module is a device and if even one of them isn’t matched, the network won’t play.
On top of that you have a key not talking to the original ECM and BCM now.
It’s a huge mess.
There are a lot of various modules throughout the car that need to talk with the ECM and BCM. If those are not talking on the same network with the right password (your VIN) the car can not start. It’s a long list.
It’s a bit messy figuring it out. What I make of your situation is for a skilled workshop to link the ECM and BCM to your VIN and relink a new master key. The skills, devices and time required to sort this isn’t easy to come by and it’s not going to be cheap. I’d be budgeting over a grand.
