Delphi DCM3.5 ECU 28278423 AG91-12A650-ZG
Original Delphi DCM3.5 engine control unit designed for selected Ford vehicles equipped with the 2.0 TDCi engine. The module carries Delphi part number 28278423 and Ford reference AG91-12A650-ZG, also written without hyphens as AG9112A650ZG.
ECU application
- Ford S-Max I facelift – minivan, selected versions produced approximately between 2010 and 2015,
- 2.0 TDCi diesel engine,
- confirmed application in the 140 HP version with UFWA engine code.
The same ECU type may be used with different software and equipment configurations. Before purchasing, compare the full reference AG91-12A650-ZG and Delphi number 28278423 with the label on the original module. We also recommend providing the vehicle VIN.
Common symptoms of a faulty DCM3.5 ECU
- engine will not start despite a correctly functioning power supply system,
- no diagnostic communication with the engine ECU,
- engine cuts out or stalls while driving,
- problems controlling the injectors, pump or relays,
- CAN communication faults or intermittent limp mode.
Similar symptoms can also be caused by wiring faults, power supply or ground problems, sensors or the fuel system. A complete vehicle diagnosis should therefore be carried out before replacing the engine ECU.
Programming, cloning and PATS adaptation
The ECU is supplied as a module ready for programming. It will not start the vehicle automatically after installation – it requires programming with suitable software and adaptation of the PATS immobiliser system.
- programming the correct vehicle software and configuration,
- module initialisation or PATS parameter reset,
- synchronisation of the engine ECU with the immobiliser-related module,
- reprogramming the keys if required,
- final fault-code clearing and communication check between the modules.
The adaptation can be performed using suitable diagnostic equipment that supports the specific vehicle, for example Ford IDS or FORScan, provided the required service functions are available for that particular version.
If the original ECU still communicates and a complete data read is possible, we can also perform a 1:1 clone. The original module is required for this service. Cloning availability depends on the condition of the memory and processor in the damaged ECU.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ECU 28278423 compatible with every Ford S-Max 2.0 TDCi?
No. This module is used only in selected engine and software versions. Part numbers 28278423 and AG91-12A650-ZG must be compared with the original ECU.
|
Is ECU AG91-12A650-ZG Plug & Play?
No. The ECU is ready for programming, but after installation it requires vehicle-specific configuration and mandatory PATS immobiliser adaptation.
|
How do you program a Delphi DCM3.5 ECU in a Ford S-Max?
The correct software and configuration must be programmed first, followed by PATS initialisation or synchronisation. Ford IDS or FORScan can be used if the required functions are supported for the vehicle.
|
Can ECU AG9112A650ZG be cloned from the original module?
Yes, provided the complete and undamaged data can still be read from the original ECU. The original module must be sent to us for a 1:1 cloning service.
|
Do the keys need to be coded after replacing the ECU in a Ford S-Max 2.0 TDCi?
The ECU always requires synchronisation with the PATS system. Reprogramming the keys may be necessary depending on the procedure used, the vehicle configuration and the immobiliser data already stored.
