We offer an ECU from the Delphi DCM3.5 family, marked with Ford number BV61-12A650-ACL and Delphi number 28383951. It was fitted to Fords with the TDCi (most often 2.0 TDCi) engine. Before we ship the ECU, we check that it works.
Vehicle compatibility
ECU BV61-12A650-ACL may have been fitted to different Ford models, so compatibility is decided by the numbers on the label, not by the model and year of the car. Compare Ford number BV61-12A650-ACL and number 28383951 with your ECU. If in doubt, send us a photo of the label before buying.
Typical symptoms of a faulty DCM3.5 ECU
A damaged ECU can stop the engine from starting because the injectors receive no signal. The tester then cannot connect to the unit, and a measurement may show no power at the ECU despite good fuses. The failure can follow water ingress or a short circuit in the wiring.
The same symptoms can, however, come from a fault in the harness, power supply or sensors, so run a diagnosis before you buy an ECU.
What happens after purchase
Once you have placed your order, send us the car’s VIN. We prepare the ECU with data from the Ford server and load the latest software – this service costs nothing extra.
The ECU is not plug & play. After fitting, the keys and VIN must be assigned in the PATS procedure using FORScan or Ford IDS. The warranty is 6 months.
