Check compatibility with Kia Sportage
Bosch engine control unit with part number 0281017695 and KIA reference 39120-2A051, designed for selected versions of the KIA Sportage III with the 1.7 CRDi engine. This module is supplied in an IMMO OFF – Plug & Play configuration.
Applications for ECU 39120-2A051
The ECU part numbers are confirmed for the following applications:
- KIA Sportage III (SL) – SUV body style,
- 1.7 CRDi – D4FD engine,
- versions produced from approximately 2010 onwards.
Part number 0281017695 also appears in catalogues for later Sportage models equipped with the 1.7 CRDi engine. For this reason, the references on the original module should always be checked before purchasing. Matching the Bosch and KIA part numbers is more important than the appearance of the ECU housing.
Common symptoms of a faulty engine ECU
A faulty ECU can cause a variety of vehicle operation problems. The most common symptoms include:
- engine will not start,
- no communication with the ECU during diagnostics,
- engine stalls unexpectedly,
- problems with injector operation or engine control,
- irregular engine running,
- fault codes that return and cannot be permanently cleared.
Similar symptoms may also be caused by wiring faults, power supply or ground problems, sensors or other vehicle components. A complete vehicle diagnosis is therefore recommended before replacing the ECU.
Programming, cloning and ECU preparation
A standard used engine ECU removed from another vehicle may require coding, immobiliser synchronisation or transfer of data from the original ECU before installation.
The unit offered here is prepared in an IMMO OFF configuration. The immobiliser function has been disabled in the ECU, allowing the module to be installed without the standard immobiliser pairing procedure normally required for a used replacement ECU.
Depending on the customer's requirements, ECU cloning is also available. If the data from the original ECU can be read, the required information can be transferred to another module. This solution is particularly useful when the original ECU data and vehicle-specific configuration need to be retained.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ECU 0281017695 compatible with the KIA Sportage III 1.7 CRDi?
|
|
Yes. Bosch ECU 0281017695 is used in selected KIA Sportage III SL versions with the 1.7 CRDi D4FD engine. Before purchasing, the KIA part number should also be compared with the reference on the original module.
|
Does KIA ECU 39120-2A051 IMMO OFF require coding?
|
|
The 39120-2A051 module offered here is prepared with IMMO OFF, so the standard immobiliser pairing procedure normally required when installing a used ECU is not necessary.
|
What does IMMO OFF mean on a KIA Sportage 1.7 CRDi ECU?
|
|
IMMO OFF means that the immobiliser function has been disabled in the engine ECU. This allows the ECU to operate without the standard procedure for synchronising a used replacement unit with the vehicle's immobiliser system.
|
Can Bosch 0 281 017 695 be cloned from my original ECU?
|
|
Yes. If the data from the faulty original ECU can still be read, another ECU can be prepared by transferring the required information from the original module.
|
How can I check whether 391202A051 is compatible with my KIA Sportage?
|
|
The most reliable method is to compare the part numbers on the original ECU. Reference 391202A051 should match the number on the original module, and Bosch part number 0281017695 should also be checked.
