Original Bosch EDC16C39 engine control unit used in selected first-generation Kia Ceed models equipped with the 1.6 CRDi engine. The ECU with part numbers 0281013569 and 39103-2A710 has been prepared as IMMO OFF Plug & Play, so it does not need to be programmed or paired with the vehicle's immobiliser.

- Kia Ceed I (ED);
- selected hatchback versions;
- 1.6 CRDi diesel engine from the D4FB family;

This ECU may be available with different software versions and engine power outputs. Before purchasing, compare the references 0 281 013 569 and 39103-2A710 with the numbers on the original unit. The vehicle model, engine capacity or year of manufacture alone are not sufficient to confirm full compatibility.
Common symptoms of a faulty engine ECU
A faulty Bosch EDC16C39 engine control unit may cause symptoms including:
- engine will not start;
- intermittent engine stalling while driving;
- no communication with the ECU during diagnostics;
- difficulty starting a cold or warm engine;
- engine entering limp mode;
- communication, power supply or fuel injection control faults.
Similar symptoms may also be caused by damaged wiring, missing power or ground supply, CAN bus problems or another faulty vehicle component. A thorough diagnosis is recommended before replacing the ECU.
IMMO OFF Plug & Play preparation
The 0281013569 ECU is prepared in IMMO OFF configuration, which means that the immobiliser function is disabled in the ECU software. Once a compatible unit has been installed, the engine can be started without ECU coding, immobiliser synchronisation or key programming.
The Plug & Play version does not require the original ECU to be sent to us for cloning. Correct operation depends on the part numbers and hardware version being compatible with the vehicle. After installation, an immobiliser communication fault or security warning light may remain, but this should not prevent the engine from starting.
A 1:1 clone can also be prepared on request if the data from the original ECU can be read correctly. Cloning allows the stored data and configuration from the original ECU to be transferred to the replacement unit.
