The VIM amplifier is connected (by wiring) between the VIM valve on the rear of the intake manifold and the ECM. The VIM amplifier is to be deleted from vehicle production as detailed below, and the VIM valve will then be connected directly to the ECM, as a result of software and hardware improvements.

VIM Amplifier Deletion Engine DTC P2008 set
VE & WM – All with V6
Group 6C Ref. No. TL1218 – 0702
BACKGROUND A VIM (Variable Intake Manifold) amplifier is fitted to early VE & WM V6 vehicles to amplify signals between the VIM (or IMRC - Intake Manifold Runner Control) and the ECM. The VIM amplifier is connected (by wiring) between the VIM valve on the rear of the intake manifold and the ECM. The VIM amplifier is to be deleted from vehicle production as detailed below, and the VIM valve will then be connected directly to the ECM, as a result of software and hardware improvements. All software released via TIS 2000 from now on will not support VIM Amplifiers, as this would mean creating dual software calibrations and would cause extended delays in calibration validation. REVISION – Vehicle Production
VIM amplifiers have been deleted from vehicle in production from: LY7 A/T Engines: (V6 Premium)
ISOVIN: Built Date: L924443 20/02/07
LY7 M/T Engines: (V6 Premium) ISOVIN: Built Date: L926102 23/02/07

6G1EKS2N27L913482 22/01/07 SERVICE PROCEDURE
The Service Procedure detailed below will be required ONLY if one of the following conditions occurs. A. The ECM is re-programmed (SPS) using TIS 76.0
or later, and the vehicle is fitted with a VIM amplifier module;
B. “Ensure VIM Amp Rework is Completed” is displayed in TIS when performing SPS programming.
C. The ECM is replaced and the vehicle is fitted with a VIM amplifier module (“Ensure VIM Amp Rework is Completed” will be displayed on Tech-2);
NOTE: Not carrying out the following procedure when one of the above conditions (A, B or C) occurs, will result in customer complaints due to unnecessary DTC setting (DTC P2008) and CEL displaying. Procedure
1. At the RH side of the engine compartment, remove the larger connector - J1 (X1) from the Engine Control Module (ECM). As per Figure 1, fully rotate the handle, use a marker to mark the “fully open” position of the rack and connector as shown (to allow easy refitting). Remove the handle by lining up the notches and levering with a flat head screw driver.
Figure 1.
2. Remove the rack from the connector, as shown in Figure 2:
Figure 2
3. Remove the outer case by levering each of the corners of the connector with a flat head screw driver, as shown in Figure 3:
Figure 3.
4. Remove the terminal locking key by sliding a flat head screw driver underneath the top of the key and levering upwards as in Figure 4:
Mark rack & connector when handle is fully clockwise
Align “notches”
Figure 4. 5. Locate terminal at position 12 on the J1 (X1) connector. See Figure 5. Note: Terminal numbers are marked on the base of the connector. 6. Carefully insert a terminal extraction tool and remove the terminal from the back of the connector. See Figure 5. Refer “Terminal Extraction Tools” paragraph below for details of tool required. A terminal extraction tool MUST be used. Do not use other tools, as damage will occur and replacement terminals are not yet available.
Figure 5 7. Relocate terminal 12 and insert into vacant terminal position 14. – See Figure 6.
Figure 6. 8. Following relocation of the terminal – re-assemble the connector components in the reverse order (as shown in Steps 1 to 4). 9. Locate the VIM amplifier behind the inlet manifold:
- remove the insulator behind the manifold to gain access to the VIM amplifier;
- cut the tie strap retaining the VIM amplifier to the wiring harness conduit (take care not to damage the conduit or harness); - pull the VIM amplifier out to allow removal - See Figure 7:
Figure 7.
10. Remove the VIM amplifier from the harness and fit the ‘jumper’ connector (supplied in connector kit 92202396). 11. Return the connector and harness to the position the VIM amplifier was removed from and tie strap the connector to the harness conduit (as the VIM amplifier was fitted). Terminal Extraction Tools Extraction tools are available from a number of suppliers of electrical terminal tools or are supplied in proprietary terminal tool kits. The details of two available tools are:
Bosch Tool: Part Number: 1928 498 218
SPx Tool: Part Number: J-38125-24
To confirm an acceptable terminal removal tool, the following dimensions are provided:
Square Section: 0.7mm wide x 0.5mm thick Length required: 7.0mm
