0281018291 / 55265683 – condition, matching and fitting
When the ECU may be faulty
Before you buy, confirm with a diagnosis that the ECU is at fault. Signs of a damaged ECU include:
- no start and no injector control,
- no communication with the ECU,
- no power despite good fuses,
- failure after water ingress or a short circuit.
Wiring, power supply and sensor faults give similar symptoms.
Preparation for the vehicle
- Virgin: codes itself to the vehicle and immobiliser, with no faults, with no programming.
- IMMO OFF (on request): the engine runs normally, but an immobiliser fault and red warning light remain; only immobiliser programming removes them.
Condition for Virgin: matching numbers and a working immobiliser.
