Quick note on bumper cover removal: you do not have to remove the entire bumper cover. So unless a tech notices the sound missing at the dealership and makes a note of it, they may never know there's a change. I plugged in my ODBII reader to look for DTCs and nothing even came up there, but a dealer scan tool would be more thorough. It's been several days and no CEL or other message has shown up. I'd spend hundreds of dollars in tools and equipment and many hours of time learning to come up with a solution that someone else already has the tools, equipment, and experience, such as yourself, to do this kind of work.įor now, I spent about 1 hour carefully taking off my bumper cover and disconnecting the VESS.
While I have an IT background, it is not in hardware. My post was merely trying to stoke some ideas and perhaps give a direction to the project. Just some ideas for someone that has the tools and knowledge to do this.Ĭlick to expand.I realize it's much easier to ask for something than to just do that something as it takes time and money. Lastly, the device would present the same "heartbeat" signal on the CANBUS so that the upstream control system doesn't suspect anything is wrong and, thus, won't report any ODBII errors. The device would be designed to latch and remember what the previous setting was so that you only would change it when you want it changed and not have to remember to do it each time. It could be bypassed, allowing the VESS to operate normally (this would be "dealer mode" to make everything seem normal when going in for service) In this way, you have the forward sound as it is now, but no backup soundģ. It could allow the Drive signal to act normally, but ignore the Reverse signal fed into the VESS. It could act as a physical switch would to turn off the speed and gear selector signals going to the VESSĢ. Anyway, this device can do a few different things depending on how creative you wanted to be:ġ. The device would have bluetooth capabilities and you could connect your smart phone to it via BT. You plug the harness into this device and the device into the VESS. Depending on how far you want to take this - and this idea is way beyond my capabilities - you could build a module that sits between the VESS and the wiring harness.
