Hi All. Just read what I wrote about the abs modules. Thought that I would mention that I did NOT go to an auto electrician I went to EBAY and bought a re-co $140.00 installed!!
Now nearly 3 months later NO Problems and the bloke offered me a 2year warranty.
Good Luck all.

Hi all Im a first timer to this forum.I have the same problem with the lights. I have disconnected the Abs module and some of the lights go out but not the ABS light. The check eng goes out, air bag goes out, eng oil light goes out but the ABS stays on, trac control on and low traction light comes on.
Any ideas..
Thanks
David

My wifes Calais has the same problem. Replaced the BCM 12 months ago ($900), now the Holden dealer wants another $850 to replace the ABS module. The Brock Shop (Brisbane) is doing it for $600 fitted.

If you unplug the ABS module, everything should be back to normal, except that the ABS & TRAC lights will both be on. I would double check this part of your diagnosis.

Normally, if the ABS module is faulty you will not be able to communicate with using a scanner.

You may have some other (lesser) fault with your car, but my gut feeling is that you need another ABS module.

Have a vt commodore whick is driven mostly by my wife.The train and traction contol lights have been coming on intermitently sometimes they stay on sometimes they go off. At the same time the power steering becomes heavy.
I have taken the vehicle for test drives but the problem just fails to show

Mark, you cant use a VY ABS module on a VT, they are not compatible.

The part number on the ABS module you fit, must be the same as the unit you removed (or a genuine supersession).

Your VT, if it was a V6 had a 0 273 004 348 (or 485), you can only replace it with one of these two.

Dr Terry

figure this one for me if you can my vx commodore comes up to temp the radiator fans turn on and the wipers and blinkers turn by them selves and when the thermo fans turn off every thing goes back to normal and when the fans turn on again it all it plays up all over again

WTF??

I dont want to be rude, but I dont quite understand the question.

I think perhaps somebody else should be working on your car.

Hi snakus99

I would fix the ABS lights problem first, the power steering fault may or may not be related.

The reason the ABS causes many different faults throughout the car is that the various ECUs communicate with each other on the so-called CANBUS line. This means that strange things can occur with a/cond, transmission, airbag, instruments, engine (& related bits) & just about anything connected with the body computer.

As I said fix the ABS first & check operation of the rest of the car. If any other fault remains, repair it separately.

Dr Terry.

my 2000 VT Calais is doing the exact same thing, when the fault appears, driving or just starting the car up in the morn, I lose power steering, traction control, cruise control, the engine idle goes all screwy, lose dash readouts for temp, not to mention the christmas tree lights. When I unplug the Connector going into the ABS Module, all the lights and car functions work without a hitch except for ABS, Traction Control and Cruise Control (which I guess wont go because ABS has failed - turns on, but wont engage.) Have been driving with the connector off, so hopefully havent damaged anything. no other option for me though. only have 1 car.

I am in the process of aquiring a recon abs module to solve this (with the help of this forum thread), hopefully it works out well, is there any guides on how to remove the module from the ABS Pump? I would be able to figure it out eventually, Just want to save time on that part.

Cheers!
