Hi,
Having weird battery charging issues which are possibly down to the car (2009 VXR8) needing a BCM software update (already had battery replaced & checked).

Noticed that when starting up in Engineering Mode it gives the 'Software Version' as 020.022.115
Does anyone know if this is the BCM software version? And if so is this the latest version?


Thanks for any help.

For anyone interested / searching for BCM / Battery issues in the future this problem relates to an intermittent fault where sometimes the car struggles to fire up (only when the engine is warm / car has been run) but then starts up ok when engine is cold.

At it's most bazaar it drove for 2 hours with a battery charge of 7%-9% (after only just starting up). Made it home, left overnight then in morning somehow battery was showing 98% charge and car started fine. Crazy.

There was a fix for this kind of issue. VXR service center should be able to update you if you are not current.

I asked a very similar question 2008 LS3 build #1. I don't think I got a clear answer

Thanks for replying.

Its currently behaving so will see how it goes but next time I'm anywhere near a VXR dealer I'll get them to check and update on here.
