The ABS is not even on the PCM's data bus in that model, weird.

that what i thinking too.
When i plug in the cable it does it (read and write to pcm)
I plug in the cable and open V7.5 then turn on the ignition it goes through the system check and then the ABS Fault comes up on the digital dash screen.
Try will the cable unplugged and turned on the ignition all good no ABS Fault

[GMPX]

Ah, that won't be a software thing. I can't remember which pin it is, but the old ALDL data bus (which the ABS is on) is also shared with another bus V2 talks on. It does seem very odd this would all of a sudden start to happen. We'll have to get Paul to check this out, though none of us have LS1 based Holden's any more.

I haven't looked at a schematic, but doesn't the ABS module talk with the PCM across the bridge...?

[GMPX]

Yeah, there is a PIM module that converts the PCM's VPW to ALDL. Actually it's pretty sad that Holden were still using the ALDL bus on a 2004 model car!
The ABS can actually cause a no start on the Commodore, they have a habit of going faulty and loading down the entire ALDL bus which means the BCM can't talk to the PIM for theft pass.

Cheers,

just went out and try it on my car (2004 VY SS Series 2 Commodore) and it did not do it.
maybe it's something different in the VY CX8 Advantra being all wheel drive

didn't have a problem with this.
i can start the car and it runs fine and the abs fault does not come up on the dash.
the only time it does show is when the ignition is in the on position and engine not running.
using the scan tool works and i can view live and record the log.

minor comment, in case I need to switch between Eng or tranny ECU, it is written there right click on the picture, while I need to do a lift click.

Right-click is the only mouse operation that brings up the list for me. You're not left handed and have the mouse buttons switched do you?

[odd boy]

no, i am right handed and buttons r on default settings.

on the picture u wrote "right click" but it swaps when i click the lift button.
