FPT

FPT – engine ECUs for Fiat, Fiat Professional and Iveco

FPT, or Fiat Powertrain Technologies, is a name associated with powertrains and engine electronics used mainly in Fiat, Fiat Professional and Iveco vehicles, as well as in selected Alfa Romeo, Jeep and Lancia models.

The FPT manufacturer page at ECUSALE lists engine ECUs used in Fiat Group powertrains, including the popular MJD6, MJD8, MJD9 and 9GF families. These modules control fuel injection, the turbocharger, ignition and emission systems, and communicate with the immobiliser and the other modules of the car.

We offer tested ECUs prepared as VIRGIN, CLONE, IMMO OFF and Plug & Play. The preparation depends on the specific part number, the ECU type and the technical possibilities of the vehicle.

FPT VIRGIN Plug & Play ECUs

Many ECUs used in Fiat and Fiat Professional vehicles can be prepared as clean VIRGIN Plug & Play units. This means removing the data of the previous car and preparing the ECU for first fitting in another vehicle.

In selected ECU families, the unit synchronises automatically with the vehicle and its immobiliser after fitting. The ECU takes the required data from the other modules and is assigned in a similar way to a new unit.

In such cases there is no need to clone the old ECU, enter a PIN code or carry out an adaptation with a diagnostic tester. Correct start-up requires matching ECU numbers, a working immobiliser, correct wiring and the right software version.

FPT for the Fiat Strada 1.3 Multijet

MJD ECUs are often used in Fiat Strada vehicles with 1.3 JTD and 1.3 Multijet engines. They control the Common Rail system, fuel pressure, the turbocharger, the EGR system and the DPF, and communicate with the immobiliser.

At ECUSALE the following ECUs for the Fiat Strada 1.3 are available, among others:

• 51908938 MJD8F3.S2 – VIRGIN Plug & Play engine ECU for the Fiat Strada 1.3 Multijet.
• 51862560 MJD6F3.S1 – VIRGIN Plug & Play engine ECU for the Fiat Strada 1.3 JTD.

ECUs prepared in the appropriate VIRGIN version are ready to fit without copying data from the old ECU. On first start they adapt to the car and its immobiliser, within the possibilities of the specific ECU version.

For selected Fiat Strada ECUs we can also prepare additional software modifications such as EGR OFF, DPF OFF or CHIP TUNING. Availability of each service is always stated in the product offer.

Fiat Ducato 2.3 Multijet – MJD8F3 VIRGIN ECUs

One of the most common applications of the ECUs on the FPT page is the Fiat Ducato with the 2.3 JTD or 2.3 Multijet Euro 5 engine. These vehicles widely use units from the MJD8F3 family, which exists in many hardware and software variants.

The MJD8F3 ECUs for the Fiat Ducato offered by ECUSALE are prepared as VIRGIN Plug & Play. Once correctly fitted, the ECU assigns itself to the vehicle and the immobiliser. It does not require cloning the old ECU, entering a PIN code or programming with a diagnostic tester.

Popular MJD8F3 ECUs for the Fiat Ducato 2.3 Multijet:

• 51908934 MJD8F3.B1 – VIRGIN Plug & Play ECU for the Fiat Ducato 2.3 Multijet.

Despite similar designations, individual MJD8F3 ECUs may have different software, equipment configuration and ways of controlling engine components. When choosing, compare the full OEM number, the MJD8F3 designation and the final variant, for example B1, BN, BV or BE.

Software matching for the Fiat Ducato 2.3

The same ECU hardware number can be found in vehicles with different power outputs, equipment configurations or turbocharger control. For this reason, a matching housing or base number does not always mean that any software will work correctly.

Before dispatch we match the ECU and software version to the customer’s vehicle data. If necessary, we ask for the VIN, a photo of the old ECU label, the engine power and information on the vehicle equipment.

Incorrectly matched software can cause turbocharger control errors, power limitation, incorrect operation of the emission system or the engine going into limp mode.

Flooded engine ECU in the Fiat Ducato 2.3

The Fiat Ducato 2.3 can be fitted with MJD8F3 ECUs as well as other ECU families, including the Bosch EDC16C39. A common cause of failure is water getting into the ECU, which can lead to corrosion of the electronics, loss of diagnostic communication and starting problems.

FPT ECU for the Fiat 500 1.2 8V

The electronics on the FPT page are also used in petrol versions of the Fiat 500. A popular ECU is the 9GF.T6 module, also written as 9GFT6, for the 1.2 8V FIRE engine.

At ECUSALE the 51975364 9GF.T6 – VIRGIN Plug & Play engine ECU for the Fiat 500 1.2 8V is available.

The ECU is prepared as a clean VIRGIN unit. After fitting it does not require data cloning, key coding or additional programming. The car can be started immediately after fitting, provided the numbers match and the other parts of the starting system work.

ECUs for 1.3 Multijet engines

MJD ECUs are also very popular in cars with the 1.3 Multijet engine. This engine was used in the Fiat Punto, Fiat Grande Punto, Fiat Panda, Fiat 500, Fiat Doblo, Fiat Fiorino, Alfa Romeo MiTo, Lancia Ypsilon and selected Opel and Suzuki models, among others.

Depending on the car model and ECU family, the ECU can be prepared as a VIRGIN unit that adapts to the car by itself or as a clean unit that requires a standard diagnostic adaptation. Always check the fitting method given in the description of the specific product before buying.

Multijet engines and Fiat Powertrain drivetrains

Multijet technology is widely used in powertrains developed for Fiat Group vehicles. The 1.3 Multijet, 1.6 Multijet, 2.0 Multijet and 2.3 Multijet engines can be found in many cars, vans and commercial vehicles.
