4.1 GENERAL
The new HSV Embedded Security System (ESS) is fitted as standard equipment to all HSV VX and WH models.
The ESS is a micro-processor controlled immobiliser which automatically interrupts essential electrical circuits
when in “armed mode”. The ESS stores the BCM’s security code and when the car is started it reads this code from
the SCI bus . If th is c ode is dif f erent from the s tored on e the ESS en ters ar med mode and pre ven ts the vehicle f rom
starting.
4.2 LINKING THE ESS TO A NEW BCM AT THE CAR DEALER –
BCM IN WARRANTY
If the BCM requires replac ement within the BCM warrant y period, the Dealer shall be supplied with a replacement
BCM and two new keys, all programm ed with the same BCM security code as the original BCM. In this case, the
replacement BCM and new keys are simply fitted to the vehicle. No ESS specific requirements are needed.
4.3 LINKING THE ESS TO A NEW BCM AT THE CAR DEALER –
BCM OUT OF WARRANTY
W hen a BCM requ ires r epl acement outs ide th e BC M war ranty period the D ea ler shall need to obtain a re pla c em ent
BCM and keys from Holden’s Service Parts Operation (HSPO). The replacement BCM and Keys will not contain
the same BCM Security Code as the original BCM.
When a new BCM with different BCM security code is fitted to the vehicle, the dealer will have to do the following:
- Link the BCM and PCM.
- Program a new key to the BCM.
TECH 2 m ust be connected to the vehicle diagnos tic connector whilst the k ey is being program med and/or ES S is
being link ed to the vehicl e. The Link Enable Proce dure is requir ed to be perf ormed twice to allo w an all new key to
be programmed and also allow the ESS learn to learn the BCM security code. The procedure for programming a
new key to a new BCM and linking the ESS to the vehicle is as follows:
1. Fit new BCM to the vehicle.
2. Ensure driver's door is closed, driver's door is unlocked, and wash-wipe switch is off.

5. ELECTROCHROMIC MIRRORS
5.1 GENERAL
Electrochromic mirrors are a standard fitment to all VX Senator Signature & Estate, & WH Grange vehicles. The
mirror features an electronically controlled mirror cell which changes colour in response to an applied electrical
voltage. This allows automatic darkening of the mirror during night driving when the headlamps of a following
vehicle shine on an integrated light sensor. This function only operates when the integral sensor detects low
ambient ( i.e. at n ig ht time). The m irror als o incor porates two m anual l y operat ed m ap li ghts - s epar ate ly switc hed f or
passenger an d dri ver. (Ligh ts als o illum inate in c onjunc tion with i nterior lam p when activated by door s witches . T he
mirror operates automatic ally however, an AU TO/MANUAL s witch provides the dr iver with the optio n for the m irror
to be darkened during low ambient light conditions regardless of presence or absence of following headlamps.
When reverse gear is selected, the mirror automatically lightens.
5.2 SERVICE OPERATIONS
No specif ic s ervic ing of the m irror is requir ed. T o rep lac e m ap light globes use a s m all scr ew driv er to pr ise out th e
lens assem bly to reveal a wedge-base five watt (5.0 W) globe (see Figure J-11). Refit lens assembly by inserting
the end c los est to centr e of mirr or f ir st - ens ure l amp bulb pas ses t hr ou gh ho le in s ide of le ns as sembl y. The mirror
is fitted with a short harness which connects to the HSV electrochromic mirror harness above the headlining near
the mirror: this harness runs across the headlining and down the `A’ Pillar to the main wiring harness which
provides connections to the battery, door switch, ignition, reverse lamps and ground.
6. HSV FOG LAMPS
6.1 GENERAL
HSV Fog lamps are fitted directly to the front fascia of all HSV VX models. The HSV lamps use a glass convex
reflector to pro vi de a wid e- ang le b eam conc entrated i n a r an ge of 30 t o 40 metr es in f r ont of the l amp. The e x ternal
lens incorporates a clear horizontal section .
6.2 SERVICE OPERATION
No periodic servicing of the HSV lamps is required. Globes may be replaced by removing a water-tight access
cover on the rear of the lamp, unclip the two spring clips which retain the globe carrier at the focal point of the
reflector. Remove the globe and wire assembly from the seal, discard globe and replace with a new 12 Volt, 55
Watt H3 Globe assembly.
Replacement fog lamps available through HSV are identified as follows
12C-1000601 LAMP FOG
NOTE:
Condensation may appear on the lens of the fog lamp when appropriate ambient conditions exist. This
condensation will clear as the ambient conditions change or after four or five minutes operation of the fog lamps
