What you get when you buy 0281012490
Preparation for the vehicle
ECU 0281012490 is prepared as Virgin Plug & Play, so after fitting it codes itself to the vehicle and immobiliser (with matching numbers and a working immobiliser). An IMMO OFF version is also possible – the vehicle drives, but with an immobiliser fault and a red warning light that only immobiliser programming removes.
How to choose the ECU
Compare both numbers with the label on your ECU – both must match:
- Bosch number: 0281012490
- OEM number: 551980170
The vehicle model and year alone are not enough; a different number means a different ECU version. Other ECUs for the Ducato: 0281031352 / 55265679, 0281010488 / 1329236080, 0281012881 / 55209436, 0281012881 / 552114950.
