Very good video he shows you all the lights that come on I had the same problem all those lights came on and the radiator fans came on so I knew it was the module from this video So i replaced the module all good now great job mate.
my vx berlina is doing the same thing from your video i now know its the abs moduel, thank u alot! but now im having trouble finding the abs moduel in store, can u tell me where u brought it from?
We bought it through AFI (Australian Fuel Injection)...Burson Auto Parts should be able to get you one too..You will need to take the module off and note the numbers on it...Good luck with it mate.
Had traction control, ABS, Air Bag lights coming up as well as thermo fans always running and air con not working. Done some research here and changed ABS unit with same type. All fault lights have cleared but thermo fans are still always running and air con still not working. Do I need to reset any faults with a scanner?
Mate I have a VS, VY, and a VZ. All V6's and the VZ obviously has the fragile Alloytec. Question is does this lesson for the day apply to all these models as well? Unit looks very similar on all of them.
My VT Calais L67 did text book case ABS Module fail & it was exactly to the letter as You demonstrated so simply & competently & my son showed me your Vid , we proved it & got a 2nd hand one wth 3 months warranty for $40 a year ago, still good , saved the day big time. Thanks ZIGgassedUP, Luv Ur Work.
Is there any way to get rid of the ABS altogether? I don't need it at all and would rather it wasn't there. Plus here in NZ they are approx $200 -$400 or more and I can't be farkd spending that sort of coin on stupid things like ABS modules. My 66 Chevy has no ABS and I can stop it moving just fine.
Amazing video. Thank you. I am at the part where I have a part number and are ready to order a replacement part. So the big question is which of all the sets of numbers is the actual number I need to match up? Apologies for silly question.
@@shanehodges1809 Are there any check lights.?...The speed sensor is in the rear of the trans...I would use a scanner to see if there is a speed reading before I went any further...If there is a reading then the speedo head is most likely the issue.
Here's what I've found...First scan the ABS and see the result..Could be anything from a fuse all the way to the module...Have a scan done and go from there mate...Any other lights stay on .?
Good upload ZIGGY... just this morning, i have that drama and yep, looks like it is the module. Cheers for the video mate. Hey curious, price of the module???
Not sure on the price of a module..A couple of hundred I think....If you want to confirm it you can unplug the module and all the other warning lights should go away except the ABS...Cheers mate.
Yeah mate, price here in NZ, is ridiculous. Not sure on Holdens price but no doubt it will be up there. Price i have seen is 2 places, about $500-$600+ But i have a electronic place that will repair for bout $220+Grand Slam Theft (GST)
UPDATE on my ABS module... NO FAULT FOUND. Thats good news for me but will be checking the terminals once i get it back. Possibly, a bit of corrosion on the pins. Anyone in NZ looking at this problem, good place, good service is "ANYTHING ELECTRONIC", they are Nelson based.
The other thing I hate with these is that valve for the heater that sits behind the engine goes and you think you'e got a blown head gasket, but really it's just that dumping water into the inlet manifold.. silly design if you ask me
Here's the funny thing Tom...Out of all the Holdens the Ecotec has many problems as time goes on but if they are serviced regularly they would go on forever..Yes inlet gaskets go after time (Same car is booked in for that too) and the odd oil leak here and there but all in all a pretty good engine..The Alloytec is a different kettle of fish...Thermostat housing at the back of the valley and just a turd of an engine with a very short lifespan depending on how they are treated and a shit to work on...Just my opinion..Cheers mate.
Yea especially if they went long distances between oil changes or the owner used the cheapest supercrap oil they could find in them kills those Alloytecs. Many of them were fleet and govt. vehicles so they were either serviced at ultratune or dodgy oil change places using those 44 gal drums of the cheap valvoline 'fleet' oil, thing is the alloytech is a DOHC engine and doesn't like abuse like the old buick iron block v6s could handle. I'm loving the 4G15 little 1.5 in my 02 lancer though. Runs like a swiss watch, quiet and literally sips fuel, I reckon I'd get almost 2 weeks out of a tank easy. And I only got it because it's a manual and it is pretty fun zipping around the backstreets.
hi my vy calais ls1 is doing the same thing. it might sound stupid but can i still drive the car with this issue or will it damage or break anything. i am getting a new module but have to wait for it to be sent. please help
Undo the ABS harness at the pump...It should communicate then but obviously show an ABS code...You can still drive it with the unit unplugged but again I'd rather fix it.
ZIGgassedUP ok cheers its getting fixed just waiting on the part. but also have to get the kids to school hence the reason why i asked if i can still drive until its fixed. whats the worst that can happen if i still drive it ??
i have had alot of mechanics talking absolute shit about bleeding the brakes changing the brake fluid ive had mechanics quoting me 1000s to do this i have alot thats got to be fixed on my car but i refuse to take it to any mechanic
I guess you tried the button in the glovebox..You will have to crawl through the rear seat and you should be able to open it then and see what's not working or broken then..
