This control unit was fitted only to selected vehicle configurations. Before purchasing, compare the IAW 5NR.C2 designation and part numbers 8200162381 and 8200195170 with the module removed from the vehicle. Matching the make, model and engine capacity alone is not sufficient to confirm compatibility.
Common symptoms of a faulty engine control unit
- the engine cranks but does not start and the immobiliser remains active,
- no diagnostic communication with the ECU,
- injector control faults or no injector pulse on one cylinder,
- incorrect ignition coil control and engine misfires,
- rough engine operation, intermittent stalling or difficulties restarting the engine.
Similar symptoms may also be caused by faulty wiring, ignition coils, injectors, poor ground connections or the immobiliser system. Before replacing the ECU, we recommend checking the module’s power supply and reading the stored fault codes.
