L98 manual conversion woes

[beeradoc]

Hi everyone,

I am hoping someone can assist me with a VE Omega Ute i am trying to do some programming on.

Vehicle was originally a 2008 v6 auto and was converted to v8 using all of the running gear and wiring from a 2008 ve calais l98, e38/t43

I have just fitted a manual gearbox box to the vehicle, but am having some issues with abs and bcm.

I was able to get the vehicle to run by bypassing the can wires for the tcm and then changing the trans to manual and disabling the clutch switch using hptuners.

My issues are with trying to get the bcm and abs to work with the manual transmission.

I thought something simple may work so changed the vin in all modules to a 2008 manual ss ute and tried to reprogram with sps but I keep recieving an E2700: hardware mismatch no programming possible error message.

I tried several different vins all with the same result. I believe this may be due to a calais never having a manual gearbox option.

My thoughts are I need to somehow get the calibration files for a 2008 manual v8 from SPS without the correct vehicle connected and then manually program those files to the bcm and abs module

I am hoping someone has some insight on how I can go about this so I can get this vehicle sorted.

Update for anyone that has read the post.

I have been able to sort out the vehicle, I used the original v6 bcm and ebcm and was able to program them to suit a v8 vin, they then communicated with the e38, after some sluthing I found the same OS from a factory manual vehicle (courtesy of Custom ECMs tune repo) and was able to swap the required segments.

Vehicle is all up and running, drives perfect, only thing left to do is repin a couple of ecm outputs to control the reverse light signal and reverse lockout solenoid.
