alyways annoyed that you cant find the info on how to test this stuff people never post in plain english
so heres what i know
P154A (battery sensor internal failure) stored. In this case, the battery sensor has an internal failure and must be replaced.
here is the test steps
pin 1 blue = lin bus square wave
pin 2 red = battery voltage
pin 3 green = faint ground signal
yellow at alternator same as blue wire
SENSOR NOW WORKS WHEN THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON ONLY
THE BATTERY VOLTAGE IS NOW AT 14.3V
ELD VALUE IS 213.5 AMPS
BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR IS 15.7AMPS
WHEN HEAD LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF THE BATTERY VOLTAGE GOES DOWN TO 12.3VOLTS NO OTHER WAY TO GET VOLTAGE UP
TST DRIVE VEHICLE TO CHECK ALTERNATOR VOLTAGE OUTPUT
WIRING DIAGRAM
both square waves will be the same
if not the same wiring issue
if the same alternator is not charging then the alternator is no good.
if the alternator is charging and the signals the same the sensor is no good.
Wiring on the sensor its self
Honda battery sensor – resistance testing with sensor out of car – this was not correct for my vehicle unless the plug is up side down (we are in Australia)
i have 2.75M ohms on both pin 1 and pin2 ??????????????????????
After all that here is what I have measured when I bit the bullet and bought a new one
First thing to note if its a Series 1 it stays series 1
if its a series 2 keep it a series 2,
do your other mods after the initial conversion – or plan ahead.
These are some of the things you may need and need to know
VE Series 1 modules are not security programmed and will not need to be unprogrammed or unlinked to reprogram (unlike Holden Cruze)
TIP and tricks I’ve learned along the way
******Check all Hardware will match first******
******Check all Software Calibrations – will match what you want to do****
****** Dont Buy a cluster or have it programmed by the EBAYers – only half a job going on here – if you knew enough you wouldn’t have to ask them to do it******
****** Pick a vin with the same stuff apart from engine and transmission – Body Ute, wagon, sedan easier to pick the same one******
There is no way yet to extract the Security PIN CODE from any module (there are bypasses available)
Starting the Process
- Flash PCM/ Engine ECU to manual (you have a guy to tune your ride) (code Manual Vin – easier) (you can have security turned off) (no need to Pin code unless programming remotes/keys) There is no way yet to extract PIN CODE
- Flash BCM to manual (use SPS)
- Flash EBCM/ABS to manual (use SPS with manual Vin
- Reconfigure instrument to manual (use Tech2)
- Bypass auto trans computer (connect green & White CAN Wires)
- Fit clutch start wiring (plugs in below cluster)
- Fit reverse switch wiring and reverse lockout wiring (wiring diagram below)
1. Flashing The Engine ECU /PCM
Get a tuner to do the programming and remove security so the engine will start and you can drive it to workshop to continue the rest.
2. Flash BCM to manual
Programming the BCM
Important: The vehicle will not start and many other functions may not operate correctly if a replacement BCM is not correctly
set up. The following procedures must be followed:
- The BCM reprogramming – refer to Service Programming System (SPS). making it a manual with a manual VIN
- Brake pedal position sensor (BPPS) learn.
- Program SDM primary key to BCM.
Important: After the procedure is completed, the personalization settings of the BCM are set to default settings. Inform the
customer that the personalization must be set again.
TIPS
The Bcm can be removed and VIN Number can be changed manually
3. Flash ABS/EBCM To Manual
If all your hardware is the same change the Vin and program to manual vin
4. Reconfigure instrument to manual (use Tech2)
Programming Features with Tech2
There a 4 basic types of VE cluster types A, B, C & D (‘D’ being the SS)
Instrument Cluster differences in Series 1 VE and Series 2 VE
– Cluster VE s1 White back on cluster (made by different manufacturer)
– Cluster VE s2, black on the back of cluster
Not interchangeable if you need to carry out programming SPS (can be modded later)
** Instrument configuration will not work if the EBCM and IPC do not have the Right coding to start with**
5. Bypass auto trans computer (connect green & White CAN Wires)
You have either cut the wires out or done a harness swap make sure the green and white wire goes to the obd2 port in series
VE s1 diagram
(cant be certain VE2 is exactly the same, no wiring diagram){so we will have to say that there is different versions/changes based on model level}

7. Fit reverse switch wiring and reverse lockout wiring (wiring diagram below)
Little Extras for the VE

Ford Falcon body control modules FG1 & FG2
A vehicle came in this week and BCM replaced with new unit supplied from ford, a local locksmith had carried out key programming and parameter reset, got the vehicle started (cool)
Post starting the vehicle, the vehicle locks did not work correctly and the BCM configuration thought it was a 4wd and a wagon ( no way)
1. the door ajar switch is open when door closed and closed when door open.
so the BCM is wired differently or opposite in the FG2 Compared with the FG1
Commodore as notorious for leaking every where in the A/C system, many times it can be found by green dry leaking oil and giving a witness mark where to find the leak
