What you get when you buy 0281016816
Important: after fitting a new ECU, the injector codes must be written with a diagnostic tester.
New ECU – what you need to know
New ECU – after fitting, write the injector codes with a diagnostic tester. It codes itself to the vehicle and immobiliser.
When the ECU may be faulty
- the engine does not start, no injector control,
- no communication with the ECU during diagnostics,
- no power supply to the ECU although the fuses are fine,
- failure after water ingress or a short circuit in the wiring.
These symptoms can also have other causes – wiring, power supply or sensors. Run a diagnosis before buying.
Preparation for the vehicle
The Virgin version works with no faults: once connected it pairs itself with the immobiliser and vehicle, with no immobiliser programming. IMMO OFF also starts the engine, but leaves an immobiliser fault and a red warning on the dashboard that disappears only after programming the immobiliser – that is why we recommend Virgin. Condition: matching numbers and a working immobiliser.
