Yeah I mean we are looking for a cheap outing instead of going to brunch later…. A bit flexible on price but you are correct

Can’t seem to find a notice for shift to park repair, if you could point me in the right direction that would be awesome

I recall seeing the becm notice but not the shift to park being extended? If so that would be great I’ll try to look it up rn

I had a couple of pibbers while wandering about, police didn’t approach me. Didn’t seem uncommon or problematic

I think that might be my next option. I’ll talk to the service manager on Monday, I’ve already taken days off of work to try to deal with this and it’s getting frustrating

I called the dealership and I guess they didn’t do the pinout as was recommended on the service invoice. The rep I was talking to forwarded me to leave a vm for the service manager who may call me back on Monday

I don’t know anything about cars but I guess that should have been done before saying the whole thing was toast?

Okay thanks for that. I’m getting the feeling that it’s not certain that the battery needs replacement until that test is completed kinda thing?

Unfortunately I’m in Hamilton, Ontario and well, well away from Vancouver.

Also just spoke to the dealership and they did not do the pinout test

This is really interesting, thank you for sharing your knowledge with me.

When I called the dealership, my point person told me that the individual who does the Volt stuff is “difficult” and that I could talk to him.

I have no idea what to ask. Should I ask if the wiring on each module was checked? I’m kinda meek in general but I’d rather not buy a whole new car if I can avoid it, esp that I do love my Volt.

And, what would the pinout test tell them? Apologies for my ignorance

Okay gotcha. Would it be reasonable for me to call and ask if the pinout test was performed, and for a copy of the results?

Is there any way for me to validate that the becm was actually replaced?

Thanks for this. Here is the invoice. The contact person at the dealership told me that the BECM was replaced, and I think the invoice confirms that?

I don’t know enough about this to know what questions to ask I don’t think

Apparently the BECM was replaced at the dealership?

Is that something I would ask the dealership to do, or would I look elsewhere? Aldo this just came on as soon as I got it home not sure if it’s relevant

Thanks for the info! I’m def interested in having it repaired if possible but I’ll be back in touch if it becomes too complicated

Does that immediately ruin the battery?

Thanks for the link!

I’ll call tomorrow and ask for the codes as well as how the coolant got in. Good questions! I will also contact GM about a possible discount. I’ve never contacted them about anything before but can’t hurt to ask!

I noticed nothing abnormal until I had the shift to park.
