I'd like to avail myself of your services. I sent you a message about what I need a few days ago. When can I expect a response?

One thing I would be curious to see how someone got around, because I think this may be the reason GM did not go with the E40: The 6L80 does not have a vehicle speed sensor. It uses transmission output speed (TOS) on the CAN, or a replicated transmission output signal (RepTOS) on an output pin...

There are a couple reasons why I don't think an E40 will work. 1) The first year of the C6 Corvette in 2005 was sold with the 4L65 automatic and not the 6L80, guess it wasn't ready yet. In that first year, they used the E40 ECM. In 2006 they switched to the E38 and started using the 6L80. I...

In looking at the factory shift tables in HPTuners for a T42, they don't have values set for downshift margins, so that's probably why it doesn't change down. As far as shfit times, tuning can probably improve that, but I KNEW it could work. I'm surprised Holden never offered it to make...

BTW, the guy you recommended to me in Saudi last year has been a big help too! He got me an automatic shifter boot and shell with two openings for buttons so I can have T/C and PWR in the shifter. He tried really hard to get me a LHD digital climate control box LHD controls, but the junk dealers...

So both of these issues were solved by the Middle East. There was a shop on eBay Australia called Fair Spares GM, and he has for sale some VZ Commodore headlights in LHD. They aren't projector light, but they are oriented correctly and NOS. As far as the cowl, somebody in Dubai sent me a LHD...

E40s probably won't control a 6L80 because they are designed to run a 24x crank trigger. I know that T43 TCMs want to see a 58x crank signal, this was one of the hurdles that had to be overcome with the aftermarket controller developed in Arizona for the 6L80.

That's exactly what I did. 04s were also VZ but with LS1, cable throttle, and P0411 ECU. All 3 years have the boot mounted fuel tank.

Are you using the same OS for both cars? 12609099?

Now that I'm digging deeper into ABS modules with the new cluster discoveries by @Torqueup, I thought it time to start a new thread about the ABS modules and stop hihacking my own thread. So I just ran the Tech2 on my GTOs ABS module, two spare GTO ABS modules I have, and a VE Pontiac G8 ABS...

Everything I've done is through the Tech2, but what I have discovered is that you can only use certain combinations of engine, trans, chassis and suspension. I think the Tech 2 is limited in what combinations it will permit. As far as running a 6L, I think the most important setting is to select...

I was very lucky to purchase an SV6 wheel last year with paddles attached, so I'm set there. And all the wiring is done from the column down the the transmission. Just have to put it all together now.

I'll leave the fuel stuff alone, probably better to start a new thread for that. Getting back to the topic of ABS, I went back into my GTOs ABS module and looked at the settings I put into it so it would be happy with the E38. I couldn't simply select whatever I wanted, the Tech2 only allowed...

I know how to program one and how to security link. What I'm wondering is when I go to link it will I need to provide a security code that I need to get from the dealership?

I've got a friend here in Wisconsin with a Pontiac G8 GXP that has been parked for quite a while. It wouldn't start, said Contact Dealer, and I diagnosed it to have a dead ECU. So I need to replace it, and I have a Tech 2 so I can program a new one. But I've never programed an ECU for a VE...

I have an oil temp sensor wired in on my GTO and the one time I threw an E38 on it with a VE OS, I got readings. But because I couldn't security link it and the ABS was freaked out I didn't leave it in. As far as the FPCM, I tuner friend of mine over here got me into the idea of using one. He...

My friend in the States found out something when he built his S10 with the 3.6 and 6L50. He uses an E67 with a 2009 Cadillac CTS operating system. E67s and E38 have a lot of software similarities. There is a memory address that is set in the OS to tell it what kind of transmission to look for...

Do you happen to know which CAN ID a V6 ECU is looking for ABS data on?

I think you're right, because you can copy the VE setting to the VZ OS and it won't work. I figure it's some other bit value(s) that have to be changed outside of HPTuners or EFILive, or that sensor is being read but the data isn't being broadcast on the CAN. Here's the settings from a VE OS.

Biggest reason would be to have an oil temp sensor. It's there in HPTuners for the 12607218 and 12609099 OSes, but does not work. It does work in an 07 VE OS. I also want the ability to run a factory Fuel Pump Control Module. The 12609099 OS does support this so if I could get around the ABS...

Unrelated, but if I could just get a VE E38 OS to talk to a VZ ABS module without throwing fault codes, it would make the VZ platform the most exciting to play with for the next couple years! I am loving the work that so many are doing right now with this platform. I am more motivated than...

Saw the video as well. I'm dying to know how you hacked the cluster and added your own gear numbers.

This s*** just got real!

I think the only hard wire automatic shifter that exists out there is from the early C6 Chevrolet Corvette. My mate got his truck over here working with an Oldsmobile Bravada floor shifter and a shifter head out of a Saturn Vue with TUTD buttons. Factory shifters for direct wire to the TCM are...

I I'm glad to hear you got it working. And you took the next step I would have and switched the dash to 5L40 mode. I think in the end I'll be switching my PIM and ABS module to 5L40 mode so I can get ESP working as well. For reverse I'm going to follow a mate's example over here. He put a 6L50...

I had to add the wire to my harness for the 6L80 conversion as well. The nice thing is it's only one wire.

Works the same as the Traction Control button.

It's wired into the PIM, pin 5. Not sure if it's active in V8 calibration or not yet.

I too am putting a 6L80 in a Crewman, and I know it will work there. What I'm hoping is to activate it using the ActiveSelect button from a V6 model. If not, I know it can be activated by putting the shifter in D3, which the 6L80 recognizes as D5.

Thanks! I'm a bit concerned about the rings but I guess I won't find out how well I did till she runs. Hopefully I can get a little more support from other vendors during the build.

So that must be for V6 models. I'm just hopeful that the resistance for the shift buttons is the same resistance that the T43 TCM needs for direct wired Tap Up/Tap Down requests. Just wired them into the clockspring and dash harness yesterday.

Turns out I've run into a roadblock using a VE ABS module in the VZ. While scanning through a schematic yesterday I came to discover that VE cars have a 0-5V brake pedal position sensor to determine precisely how much brake force is being requested. You'd think this sensor information would go...

On the VZ platform, the route goes ECU ==> EBCM ==> PIM ==> TCM (if automatic) ==> OBD Connector On the VE platform, there are a lot more modules, but I know the first two are ECU ==> EBCM

That makes sense, because then it will clear the storage bin. I will have to make sure my cupholders are on the passenger side of the console and it should clear fine. Although, the G8 sensor is clearly mounted in schematics the way I have it. I wonder now if that will matter.

Got my hands on a Yaw sensor from a G8. No surprise that there are two studs on the top of the driveshaft tunnel to mount the sensor. My only concern now is if there will be a clearance issue with the center console once it's installed. It will be a while till I find out, but hopefully things...

The VE Steering Angle Sensor fits perfectly!!! This has to be the steering angle sensor Holden used in the AWD Adventras with Electronic Stability Program. I also believe they used it in 2006 VZ HSVs with ESP. So it fits, but is there a mechanism in the VZ clock spring to turn the Steering...

MASSIVE UPDATE!!! I got my hands on a VE Commodore clockspring this evening. Unfortunately, I had to destroy the clockspring part to get the steering angle sensor out of it, but I got it out undamaged. Here is the VE Commodore Steering Angle Sensor. It's a Bosch part number 0 265 005 505...

UPDATE: The VE Steering Angle Sensor is eerily similar in shape to the VZ Steering Angle Sensor. Will soon be conducting an experiment. Details to follow.

At the very least it would be nice to get those parts. It would make adapting the rear brakes a lot easier.

Here's a larger version of that last picture,
