Hi everybody. I had a same situation today. Replaced the ECU (Engine computer Module) on an Opel Combo 1.7 diesel. I managed to program everything as per video, the immobiliser light stop flashing, all DTCs were gone and when I tried to start the car everything was died. No crank, no start. I thought that the battery was very low, boosted the battery and nothing changed. I'll give it another go tomorrow and hope it will work. I thought to share my experience here. Great job Luis, helped a lot. keep it up and thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for the video. works like a dream and saved me from expensive repair. I followed the exact procedure and all went good. I tried the Opcom 2008 and went through all the process. However, i had problem with resetting the instrument cluster. Finally, upgraded the software to Vauxcom and managed to finish it. Thanks for the video. Very useful
great tutorial. worth every minute of viewing. thanks mate. i have a 2006 meriva. iv tried loads of tricks to reset the service light but no luck lol going to buy a handheld code reader see if that will reset light.
Hi I have the same car with the same Engine. Om getting a fault code 1482 I checked the fan relays but all seems ok The fan will run only when the temperature gauge reach to the middle. The spanner with wrench signals appear and disappear always . I would appreciate it if you could help Thanks
I don't know what to say .thanks for this interesting video .even if I found it hard to understand what you did but I will watch it for second and third time until I understand it thanks my brother god bless you.
@LM Auto Repairs, thank for your meticulous guidance. I am facing a similar problem on my Opel Vectra c 2002 in Africa. Need to get in touch for support.
Thank you so much for this video, I have an Astra H and will be doing this soon. I only wish I knew how to do this a couple years back considering I needed the same on a corsa D and forked out hundreds to do this same process. Thank you very much again for this detailed video it’s great help
Hi Difficult to tell, as they can fail in many different ways... Proper diagnostic is needed to completely blame the ecu as being faulty... Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@furkansyuleyman485 The ring is just a coil... not resettable... But could be broken, an open circuit... You might need to open it to check... Do not obviously disclose the key as the problem... test the key... Thank you for watching!
Great tutorial. Worth every minute of viewing. Thank you very much, i didn't find any video about this in the german youtube. Can i make this with opel corsa c 1.0? And how can i get the pin code if i dont have carprog?
Hi could u please tell which would be ok to use because like im your video u say instrument successfully programmed my one doesnt do anything if i buy the version 1.99 would this do it for me many thanks.
Hello, I would like to ask you how much I have to pay to learn this whole procedure of copying data from the old ecu and rewriting them in the new one. I guess it is valid for any car model. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your great video tournament, nice work. I have a question here, what if I just replaced the ecu and body control unit, and dashboard plus the security sensor unit and key chips with the same car model, then shouldn't I have to do the computer recoded and reset, is that correct?
The procedure would be similar... reset the one to install and then program it using the pin of the car... Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Hiya another great video fella. I am not sure I can keep up with the fast movement of your screen changes. I would have to watch the video many times which I can do. As you have been helping me with my grandaughters Agila Im going to say I took the fuel tank out of the vehicle and pressure tested the pump off the vehicle. it showed it as before at 7psi running it directly from the battery which I had taken off the car. i initially saw it pump fuid from where it should and although it worked it seemed weak so then the pressure tester was fitted with the earlier. result. I had wached a video of some guy breaking a fuel pump apart and illustrating all the other parts within the fuel pump assembly. namely filter pressure regulater and realised i should have bought the whole assembly and not just the pump. A costly mistake have a new assembly coming sometime tomorrow. I am not sure it will work in the car due to possible ECU control issues so I am going to test it off the car again tomorrow, before putting it back. This is due to the fact that since I changed the engine I have not heard the initial 3 second prime. I would be interested in your view. many thanks for all your producing for interested guys who love cars and electronic control cheers colin
colin Lyne I don't think you will have any issues with the control side of things... The ecu only controls a relay, which in turns runs the fuel sender pump... Until now everything points to a bad pump... Also check that the relay is good... Bear in mind that just because you can hear it clicking, does not mean is good...
even with my bad English can under everything....I got ecu problem I will try sort it all by myself....nice video...it's very clear video...it's just wonder to know how I can get op come and where ....? thanks
Hi as we were dicussing the complete kit i have fitted immobiliser clocks engine ecu etc the car is running but with the vin no of the car it came from now if i put the vin no for my car will i need to reprogram the bcm immobilser etc will the car still start.
thx for this great video. it helped me so much. my meriva is on the road again and my self confidence raised about 120% ;) don't know what to say more...go on doing these great content :)
Hi I understand your video great explanation and detail by the way when you put the new ecu in and used the retrieved code how did you get it so you used the original cars code thanks
Great video ! Thanks ! Can anyone plz tell me - does the OP-COM software need a specific OBD2 reader (ie the hardware) ? I have a 2003 Holden Combo XC (Opel Combo C rebadge) and plugged a Carista bluetooth OBD2 reader and plugged it in but it doesn't seem to work
A small university. Thank you again for the detailed tutorials. Many people are learning from you. Now here is my question. In my car, a Peugeot 407 hdi 136hp, last year, I changed keys and door-locks, in the authorized dealer. The PIN number I was given for the new keys, is different from the old one of course. Right now, I managed to read my EEPROM, and saw that the original PIN was still there. The same one. Now, what have they done? Did they changed the PIN only in the BSI? And if there are two different PINs, how can that be? Does the PIN in BSI take precedence over the PIN in the EEPROM? My ECU is Siemens SID 803.
Peete Kastanis Hi I needs to be only 1 pin... If at the dealer they have changed locks and keys, was no need to change remotes... have they? Even if the remotes were changed, they would have been programmed to the BSI using the actual car pin code... Unless they have a also changed the BSI... even in that case, the new BSI would be programmed using the original pin... So, you can't have two different pins for the same car... What you might have been given, is the mechanical key number... that is a unique number that can be used to cut the key even if you don't have a key to copy from... Unless there is some info missing here... Hope that helps...
Thanks Imsvvavr My case is going to be a mystery, until I solve it. Last year, somebody got into my house and stole me. He also took away the two keys of my car. One with remote control and a simple one. So I took the car to the dealer with a transporter truck, and ask him to change the door-locks and the keys, just in case the burglar finds my car parked in the street and takes it away with the original keys. I tell you, that they changed the mechanism in the wheel column where the key enters and the door-lock plus the glove box lock and gave me new remote and simple key. They did not change the BSI. Now, my original keys, they have a card with the key code YU4V, which is the same with the PIN code my EEPROM has (I read the EEPROM with Galletto). It is located in the hex places: 22, 23, 24, 25. My new keys have a card with a new number: WXWB
Peete Kastanis OK... I got you... I don't know why they would give you another code... I mean, they could have reset the ECUS to change the original pin... Although does not make sense that the code you have retrieved is different.. Do you have PP2000?
Well, I spent all my afternoon in my car with Diagbox, making various tests, and I think I solved the mystery. There is an option in Diagbox: REPAIR-->BSI-->PACK REPAIR-->REPLACEMENT PARTS (Or LEARNING, I forgot)-->CHECK OF THE CODED ENGINE IMMOBILISER CODE IN THE BSI, which accepted my original PIN, the YU4V. It seems that the new one, is about the key and how to cut new keys if they are lost, just as you mentioned dear friend. Once again you were very accurate and informed. How can I thank you. You are always right. Thank you for your time. Be happy!
Would have to be something along those lines... Glad you got the mystery resolved... I am not always right... believe me.... lol Thank you for your feedback!
Hello sir God bless your days. I program a new ecu and the car start but the car is automatic transmission and the new ecu is manual so i can change gear do i have to take pictures from the old one and put them in the new one thank u?
hello.can you help me. i made step by step as you in video but i am stuck in ipc reset. write failed. my dashboard km not working and immo light not working.what can i do? thanks from Greece.
Hi there I've got to replace my whole ecu kit ie immobiliser clocks bcm if I swap everything do I need to reprogram is it just plug and play also do I need to get matching part codes thank you 😊
Stephen Kasapis Hi I can if whenever it happens... Although the procedure is the same as from when the second hand one is reset... which at this point is as if it was a brand new ecu... or nearly... Thank you for watching by way...
Ok thanks . but I sure if you had a brand new ECU you have to down load the software from OPEL not a second one because the second hand one already has software on it .
Why do you need the pin once reset and once you know it? I never tried... I know that the pin is not erased.. you can retrieve it with a programmer... but never tried with carprog...
Hi good news followed all the steps all lights off engines starts ok. But have a problem with the cluster i dismantled the cluster and the dials for the rev counter is not working may be they are not fitted correctly any how i have another cluster can i just reprogram the cluster through instrument on vaux.com will it work fine. Many thanks.
Thanks to this video, help a lot! I have same car, same year's:, fault I have after Actronics. no company repaired Ecu, Bcm, key immo ring, Is B3058 vehicle not programmed identification, U2105can-bus communication with engin control unit, B2961 W terminal low voltage, P1616, P1615,,, 174 coolant temp sensor can signal not okay. I have no knowledge what it is? Car not start,
You need to get the ecu reprogrammed.... Those codes are for errors in the ecu data... most likely will not fix it self... Hope you get it sorted... Thank you for watching and for your comment!
LM Auto Repairs , thanks. I gonna ask Opel for the pincode and try to reset and program the ecu, instrument en immobilizer with my snap on modis or Hella mega max. I’ll let you know.
@@ericarendshorst7228 Try that... but I think you need more than that... The reset procedure resets the immobilizer code only... I don't think will fix your problem... What you need is a complete reflash of the module... you need global tis with tech2win... or a tech2... Hope that helps...
Indeed. the ecm had a reflash, and it is working again, the generator was defective, the cause ( according to opel) was perhaps a sudden voltage raise. We replaced it. Thank you.
Another great video Luis, thx for sharing. I have 2 questions please... 1) After successful programming & car starts again, does the new ECU pin code change to match the rest of the modules? 2) Let's say I forget to activate ABS (for example) in variant config, can I still go back into the system and activate it? Just curious as this video answered many questions for me 😊
hi everybody! i bought a brand new ECU for my vauxhall astra 1.7cdti with the same part number as old one,but i dont know if the new ECU"s come out from factory with the software already written on it ,or it need to be done by a garage technician, if yes then how to program it to my car??? its enough if i have the security code of my car? yhx!
Hello mate, thanks for the video. I note you mention about Opcom being affordable. On ebay they are on sale for £15-£20, but I think you previously stated that yours is a different more expensive Opcom. I think it would be very helpful to lot of people if you could explain what the difference between yours and the ebay ones is, and perhaps let us know where/which we should get so that we can follow along with your videos? Thanks again. :)
Unless you get the genuine one, they are all pretty similar... The ones with the pic chip can be flashed is something goes wrong, which is a good thing... But you can also find them on eBay... Thank you for watching and for your comment! 👍👍👍
@@catalingherzan3829 Absolutely right - just another software with it`s own interface - in other words: a device ;-). You are welcome to check the manufacturer`s website www.codecard.lt
Hi mate What version opcom do you use? My China clone will not connect to instrument cluster. I have a 2003 combo c Your help will be much appreciated.
The engine ecu pin code is the same code that is in the immobilizer dump? Same code for ecu, bcm, instruments, immo or they are different? Nice tutorial.
Op-com can indeed read the pin from dash on some older models... ICC can do it.. there is other softwares out there, or info for the bytes location of the pin... google will help you on both....
Hi i am replacing the ecu as its faulty i have followed your video exactly,i used carprog got the pins for ecus and reprogrammed the ecu.My problem is wrong instrument cluster id.I tried to reset this using opcom and but it doesnt work as in your video.can you please suggest what to do next.Can the instrument cluster be done with carprog.
Thank you for taking the time to do this vid. I have replaced the abs module/pump on my Corsa D VXR with a second hand ABS unit as the original ABS unit was non repairable. The second hand unit has been tested and comes with a warranty. The ABS that has been replaced requires programming. The part numbers on both ABS units are compatible and I will be using an OPCOM to program. The issue is i have never programed an ABS unit. Do you have a video on how to program or instructions on how to do this? Any information will be appreciated.
Hi Luis i have corsa d 2011 engine 1.3 cdti. Z13dtj. I have mk808 autel. I want to replace ecu .can i do with autel mk808. Also .if am wrong i need to programme immobiliser. Vin.anything else to programme thank you
You need to make sure the replacement ecu has been reset, and that you have the pin from your car. If the MK808 can do it, i am not sure... Just go on the immobiliser and check if the option is there... 👍👍👍
Great job, could you tell where can I get this software and interface from?? To ecu swap and programming. Because last time I could not do with my autel. Thanks
I really love your videos, I have learnt a lot from them. Just want to know something, what other version of opcom apart from v1.39 will reset the pin on Corsa C instrument cluster? I have tons of them that just bricked on me and I could really used some help on how to bring them back to life. I'm supposed to change the dash on my 2004 Meriva this coming weekend as it's the U.K. type that uses miles to the kilometre type suitable for my country. Thanks.
Emmanuel Achiume Hi Thank you for watching and for your comment! There is another version out there, 1.45... But both versions are able to read the pin on the Corsa c... When you say they bricked on you, do you mean the op-com?
lmsvvavr I have 2 v1.45, v1.64 and v1.69. None of them will read or reset the pin on Corsa C. Only the 1.39 could do that. I have tons of bricked opcom interfaces which I want to learn how to revive. They are all recognised by the laptop, drivers install but pretty much nothing else. The repair opcom tool doesn't work either. Which software version will work on v1.45 to read pin on Corsa C? Thanks in advance.
Great dedication , just to sum up , if i buy a 2 hand ecu for my opel combo c (best if i have a security code ) otherwise i will need a program like carprog to retrieve the security code from the old ecu right?
Evening LM. Thanks for those video. Silly question: Do I need to by a special plug-in connector to be able to use/read information on Carprog? thanks!! M
@@LMAutoRepairs HI! I need to rescue the PIN numbers from both of my Astra G (2001) & Astra H (2009). I have the OPcom tool but it is too new and the PIN code option is not there anymore. Any suggestion? thanks! M
When I come to reset the IPC I have no programming button and it is cycling through IC=00 and slowly makes its way to IC=37 before saying there is a communication problem.
So with this step-by-step approach, I have been able to program the meriva 2003. The only thing left is the error code in the immo is the security code not programmed and the flashing N on the IPC. Any help LM?
@@partoems9376 The procedure is done in the immobiliser... log in and add the ecm... using the car pin code... That is providing the ecu is reset/virgin... 👍
Fernando Pistone The MaxiSys can indeed do adaptations etc... It can read the pin on the Corsa C... just like Op-com... Carprog can do much more... pin read... I mean.... than the MaxiSys... Thank you for watching!
Hello, first of all thanks a lot for waste your time trying to help us doing these videos. I have the same car but with the Z16XE engine nad of course with the same problem, i live in Spain so imagine how is the poor ECU with our temperatures this summer. I'm trying to repair my ECU but in case i can't i have one question. My ECU is the 12214830 HSFI 2.5 DXBC, and i've found exactly the same but DYDT, could i change it?. Thanks again for your time and help.
Great video, thank you. I have a couple of questions though. What interface are you using to read Security Code from ECU? CarProg interface? Does OPCOM communicate through the same interface or do you need an OPCOM interface too?
Thanks, I have Opcom already, and I am pretty confident about setting up new ECU, but I just need to be able to read Security Code from existing ECU (as we don't have Car Pass) and also from the replacement ECU as ebay seller doesnt have it. Can you recommend where to buy Carprog interface?
Sorry I have deleted by mistake your last post... Of course I did not tapped any other OBD port on the car... Have you actually watched the entire video?
hello, I'm trying to retrieve the passcode from the ecu 9:52 I have the followed the same steps but I always have a problem its says "wrong passcode" , no synchronization data comes up. Can you help me resolve this issue.
To read the pin with car prog, you don't need any pin... Just select the correct ecu and retrieve the pin... You will need the pin to then reset it and program it again... As per the video...
Damn i thought if i just swapped the imobilizer read coil the transponder key with the engine ecuon my astra g it would have worked because i keep seeing people on ebay selling kits comprised of these parts
Hi As far as is from a similar car, should work, even if the numbers are different... as sometimes different numbers only mean that the hardware and or software has been revised, but the functions of the ecu remain the same... However, if you can get hold of one with the same numbers, the better.... Hope that helps. Thank you for watching!
I see. Well ,I believe the replacement was from Meriva and my car is Zafira. The immo sequence went alright and the car started, unfortunatelly there were 3 errors: two with the fan and one with the AC. They were present but not functioning. Ac wasn't functioning and the radiator fan didn't start. Is there any way to reprogram the ecu or it is too complicate ? Thank you very much for replying! The guy who did the immo did not programm the VIN. Could that be the issue?
Have you checked the configurations? If you can configure things in there, then is because that ecu does not have those functions... Check configurations and go from there...
The AC was present in the configurations, still, didn't work. The guy who did the reprogramming made all the necessary steps and after that he said I should have bought the same serial number ecu because the software is different. We finally opened the faulty ecu which already was repaired 3 times and there was a loose wire. Now he will remove all the wires and weld new ones to make sure it lasts longer not just one month as it did now. Only one side, as the other one seems to be in order and not touched. Thanks again and take care!
Ok i have bought a complete set engine ecu bcm immobiliser reader transponder chip ignition barrel boot lock door lock ignition key and dash cluster plugged it all in the immobiler light is out have erased all the faults using opcom still did not start there was no ground feed to the fuel pump relay. I intoduced a ground feed and the fuel pump run and the car starts but the vin no is incorrect as whole set from other vehicle now it not reading the ac automatic transmission etc. What do u suggest i do do i still go and reset the ecu and follow your video or follow your video and program the can configuration and variant can please help me as i not sure what to do many thanks.
I think you are confused about the reset procedure... The reset it is just to allow the module to be programmed using a different pin... like into a different car... The reset does not touch the flash inside the modules...
Hi. Can you help me to sort the problem with blinking orange car with spanner in Corsa D ive done all the same like on your video and there no changes. Thanks
Hi there I was wondering where do I get the software from and the cable to to connect to the car and also will this work the exact same way for a zafira MK1 2004 model. Reason I'm asking is I have had the lamba sensor replaced but the engine management light stays on even though the error codes have been reset, the cables have been tested and seam to be ok so the next thing is the ECM that needs reset or replaced which looks simple by your video. I hope you can help or advise. Thanks
The lambda codes can be a result of something else... well you don't say the codes... so just thinking out loud here... You can get Op-com on eBay... software comes with it... Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs yeah I meant the lamba codes have been reset and nothing else comes up. The sensor has been replaced 3 times with the same issue and codes come back on once the engine has been switched back on. What else could be the issue from your experience? I have heard it could be the ECM that's been tripped and needs replacing and can cost a arm and a leg to get someone to do it.
Ciao a tutti! Ho un grosso problema da risolvere. Ho un Opel Combo 2004 1.7 diesel. Ho perso il transponder e non so come fare! Posso disabilitare per farla partire con la chiave senza transponder? Grazie
I have changed my instrumen panel on my opel corsa c class 2005 i have the security code but its doesent work on body control module when i enter the security code it says wrong security code but when i enter the same security code ecu, and immobilizer its working but body controle modul says wrong security code
If you replaced the cluster, you need the original pin code from the cluster in order to reset it first, just then it will accept the pin from the car you are trying to install it on... 👍👍👍
LM Auto Repairs Thanks for the reply, I hope it doesn’t come to that. I changed a head gasket and timing chain on a Corsa D 1.2 56 plate. Now I’ve got p0036, p0141 & p0304 sensor 2 and misfire pot 4. I’ve got compression and fuel just no spark. Taking (left pin coil pack from gearbox view) 1- 0v 2-12v. 3-6 pots 1-4 going pin 1-6 I don’t get same reading as 1-3,4,5 so if these are correct pin outs it could be coil pack but seem too much of a coincidence to me... all plugs are in and engine does run with misfire, I thought I was gentle with the cables too, ordered op-com should arrive by Friday. Love to hear your thoughts 👍
@@GarysTechSupport Just check, double check, and triple check everything... it is easy to sometimes miss things... get some diagrams... it is a bit confusing the way you explain the pin out... Then check primary ignition signal... if is there, and you have no secondary ingnition, then is your coil pack... Hope that helps
@@LMAutoRepairs Thanks for the response. I used the IM608 to track all the menus as whiles following the video. All the menus are there. Except BCM reset.

@@partoems9376 Most likely will be, but I never used it for that, even the MS908P I struggled in the past, and just ended up using Op-com... But I am pretty surely will be there somewhere...

Hi i want to ask you something i hope u write me I have problem with that part of meriva i have the same meriva 1.6 16v ecotec but not vauxhall and it stop running any time im on road and can’t take the acceleration soo the question is (does it have any problem if the number of my computer car is not same with the new computer I appreciate if u write back thank u )
The old ECU is not working properly, that's why I bought a new ECU. This ecu does not seem to be reset. Is it possible to reset the ECM on this ECU? Unfortunately, the car in which this ECU was installed does not exist. i hope you can help me. thank you in advanced
No... To reset it you need the pin... You can read the data content from the ecu on the bench and then figure out the pin... The reset even Op-com will be able to do it... Carprog just might happens to be able to do it through OBD... depending on the ecu... There is other tools that might help... but more expensive...
Or i get an reset ECM in that case i need only actualy PIN of ECM that is instaled on my car (i have it on car pass card). U know if i can program it with Delphi ds 150E or i need Op Com? thx!
THE STIG Correct! An reset ecu is ready to accept any code... so if you have the car pass you have all you need... I never really worked with delphi... so don't really know if capable of that...

Hi lmsvvavr thanks for your videos they are invaluable in helping me fix a 2004 1.4 Corsa with a Z14XE engine. I bought a reset ECU with the same part no as the original (12237450 DXKB) from ebay. When following your instructions opcom connected to the ecu and stated it was a 12245500 FAHX for a Z16SE engine and that it had been reflashed previously. Do you know how to get it back to a 12237450 DXKB for the Z14XE with opcom or other tool? Also as it programmed to the car ok is there any risk in starting the engine with it thinking its a Z16SE?
Rob Thomas Hi Thank you for watching and for your comment! That's weird.... to flash it back you need other type of tools... not opcom... Do not know even if the engine will start... as some wires might connect to different pins on the ecu... also the mix air/fuel wouldn't be correct...don't really know... I never tried... I would send it back and get the right one... Sorry if I can't be more helpful this time...
Hi, thanks for the prompt response and its along the lines I was expecting. From the reading around forums I believe the ecu hardware is common to some engines, z14xe, z16xe and z16se. However the software flashed to it to support a specific engine is different and some are saying that the part number on the sticker can be different to whats flashed. In my case the stickers on the original one on the car matches what opcom reports and is what I purchased from ebay (they are quite rare). I think it has clearly been changed to the z16se version as opcom reports the repair shop and programming date have been set. Some are saying that tech2 can reflash this back to the version that will support the z14xe. Unfortunately I don't have access to that in Swansea, not sure who does and what it will cost (trying to do this on the cheap). I think my only option is to return it as I don't think the ebay seller realised this as it was advertised for the corsa which I don't think had a 1.6 engine? Also since I bought this I missed an entire set of ecu, immo ring, cluster, immo chip, auto cu which stated it was off a 1.4 Corsa auto and £20 cheaper than what I paid just for the ecu ... grrr! There is a 2 year story behind this but I think it proves that not many garages (been to at least 3!) are able to diag and fix these sorts of issues. So finding a skilled auto electrician, electronics repair expert and computer specialist like yourself is essential and very difficult! Thanks once again.
OK took the gamble and tried to start it. It didn't want to start but you could hear it trying to catch and eventually did with a bit of accelerator pedal but then cut out when the pedal was released. An unidentified error came up which I'll post the code to later (on a different laptop). The code and cutting out maybe down to the wrong engine type being on the ecu .... or a hardware issue with the ecu or something else. I would have been surprised if the right ecu would have fixed everything. I guess the good news is though that as I'd removed the fuel pump relay link (bodge) the engine clearly got fuel which means the fuel pump relay was activated and the pump working. This was one of the things pointing at a failing ECU amongst other things. So I will chase the ebayer later although not sure how much more effort I'm going to put into this as the timing for further fix attempts is limited and its causing family issues now ;-)
And i don’t have the donor car security code But it should work directly if I have the key and immo and ecu from the donor car with out any programming?
Using the OPCOM software you can find out ... but in order to can have available program options on OPCOM you will need to have your 4 number car security options (just with this number you can have the need available options in the OPCOM menu other way you can't do it) ... also this security number is important for the audio system (this is already set by the producer but if you make changes on the audio system you will need to set again) ... and like a recommendation is better to AVOID take out the + terminal of the car battery more than 10 minutes (most of the cars have already a lot of electronics and if you take out the battery for more than 10 minutes it can happen to need reprogramming some electronic car parts and will be not so easy for sure) and BE CAREFUL with OPCOM programming if you don't know exactly what you are doing in order to eliminate possible troubles made by your self (air bag outset, blocking engine start , lock doors ...). OPCOM is very useful software that can be used just for diagnostics (if you don't have the need knowledge's please do not use programming). All the best ...
I have a sigmum 1.9cdti that has a bypass switch on the water coolant sensor which tells the engine it is cold to start so turns glow plugs on if I don't bypass it engine says it's 55 degrees and will not start engine as plugs don't come on can you tell what's causing this ? Cheers Phil
Hello LM. Your video's are great and if it were not for you, I would be really stuck. One question. I can log into vaux com and get into the BCM,Immobiliser and Instrument pages but It won't let me into the engine pages. I am running firmware 1.45. What am I doing wrong. Thanks in Advance.
Paul Carney Ok... because of the no communication I first thought about the immo not being disabled... which might still be the case... But first things first... Do you have to try another diagnostic machine? If still no comms with the engine ecu, either the communication lines are broken, or the power to the ecu has been lost... Surely you have done that, but check all the fuses and connections... Is the car the same as this one, with the ecu attached to the engine block?

Hi everybody. I had a same situation today. Replaced the ECU (Engine computer Module) on an Opel Combo 1.7 diesel. I managed to program everything as per video, the immobiliser light stop flashing, all DTCs were gone and when I tried to start the car everything was died. No crank, no start. I thought that the battery was very low, boosted the battery and nothing changed. I'll give it another go tomorrow and hope it will work. I thought to share my experience here. Great job Luis, helped a lot. keep it up and thank you for sharing.
☺
Hope you get it sorted!
🤞
I've downgraded my firmware to v1.39 and it managed to read the cluster. thanks very much for linking me to the video LM.it has worked a treat.
Inchaseable One
That's great news!
Glad I could help!
Luis, I had a P1610 on a 2004 Corsa C after I'd stupidly reset the ECU on OP COM. I just programmed the immobiliser and it worked a treat.

Not only heat damages electronics, but vibrations from the engine causes the damage you talk about. Vibration is probably more responsible than heat.

Hello, I would like to ask you how much I have to pay to learn this whole procedure of copying data from the old ecu and rewriting them in the new one. I guess it is valid for any car model. Thank you very much.

Hiya another great video fella. I am not sure I can keep up with the fast movement of your screen changes. I would have to watch the video many times which I can do. As you have been helping me with my grandaughters Agila Im going to say I took the fuel tank out of the vehicle and pressure tested the pump off the vehicle. it showed it as before at 7psi running it directly from the battery which I had taken off the car. i initially saw it pump fuid from where it should and although it worked it seemed weak so then the pressure tester was fitted with the earlier. result. I had wached a video of some guy breaking a fuel pump apart and illustrating all the other parts within the fuel pump assembly. namely filter pressure regulater and realised i should have bought the whole assembly and not just the pump. A costly mistake have a new assembly coming sometime tomorrow. I am not sure it will work in the car due to possible ECU control issues so I am going to test it off the car again tomorrow, before putting it back. This is due to the fact that since I changed the engine I have not heard the initial 3 second prime. I would be interested in your view. many thanks for all your producing for interested guys who love cars and electronic control cheers colin
colin Lyne
I don't think you will have any issues with the control side of things...
The ecu only controls a relay, which in turns runs the fuel sender pump...
Until now everything points to a bad pump...
Also check that the relay is good...
Bear in mind that just because you can hear it clicking, does not mean is good...
even with my bad English can under everything....I got ecu problem I will try sort it all by myself....nice video...it's very clear video...it's just wonder to know how I can get op come and where ....? thanks
Hi
Thank you for your comment...
There is loads of places where you can get opcom... a quick google search will show you...
Hi as we were dicussing the complete kit i have fitted immobiliser clocks engine ecu etc the car is running but with the vin no of the car it came from now if i put the vin no for my car will i need to reprogram the bcm immobilser etc will the car still start.
Should do yes...

Hi I understand your video great explanation and detail by the way when you put the new ecu in and used the retrieved code how did you get it so you used the original cars code thanks
All in the video... you must have skipped it...

got a ecu kit but its off a auto do you need security code to change it to manual with opcom
Hi
Not sure... but I thing you don't need the pin for that...

Great video ! Thanks !
Can anyone plz tell me - does the OP-COM software need a specific OBD2 reader (ie the hardware) ? I have a 2003 Holden Combo XC (Opel Combo C rebadge) and plugged a Carista bluetooth OBD2 reader and plugged it in but it doesn't seem to work
Hi
Yes, it does need... you can get the VCI relatively cheap...
👍👍👍
A small university.
Thank you again for the detailed tutorials. Many people are learning from you.
Now here is my question.
In my car, a Peugeot 407 hdi 136hp, last year, I changed keys and door-locks, in the authorized dealer.
The PIN number I was given for the new keys, is different from the old one of course.
Right now, I managed to read my EEPROM, and saw that the original PIN was still there. The same one. Now, what have they done?
Did they changed the PIN only in the BSI?
And if there are two different PINs, how can that be?
Does the PIN in BSI take precedence over the PIN in the EEPROM?
My ECU is Siemens SID 803.
Peete Kastanis
Hi
I needs to be only 1 pin...
If at the dealer they have changed locks and keys, was no need to change remotes... have they?
Even if the remotes were changed, they would have been programmed to the BSI using the actual car pin code...
Unless they have a
also changed the BSI... even in that case, the new BSI would be programmed using the original pin...
So, you can't have two different pins for the same car...
What you might have been given, is the mechanical key number... that is a unique number that can be used to cut the key even if you don't have a key to copy from...
Unless there is some info missing here...
Hope that helps...
Thanks Imsvvavr
My case is going to be a mystery, until I solve it.
Last year, somebody got into my house and stole me. He also took away the two keys of my car. One with remote control and a simple one. So I took the car to the dealer with a transporter truck, and ask him to change the door-locks and the keys, just in case the burglar finds my car parked in the street and takes it away with the original keys. I tell you, that they changed the mechanism in the wheel column where the key enters and the door-lock plus the glove box lock and gave me new remote and simple key. They did not change the BSI.
Now, my original keys, they have a card with the key code YU4V, which is the same with the PIN code my EEPROM has (I read the EEPROM with Galletto). It is located in the hex places: 22, 23, 24, 25. My new keys have a card with a new number: WXWB
Peete Kastanis
OK... I got you...
I don't know why they would give you another code... I mean, they could have reset the ECUS to change the original pin... Although does not make sense that the code you have retrieved is different..
Do you have PP2000?
Well, I spent all my afternoon in my car with Diagbox, making various tests, and I think I solved the mystery. There is an option in Diagbox: REPAIR-->BSI-->PACK REPAIR-->REPLACEMENT PARTS (Or LEARNING, I forgot)-->CHECK OF THE CODED ENGINE IMMOBILISER CODE IN THE BSI, which accepted my original PIN, the YU4V. It seems that the new one, is about the key and how to cut new keys if they are lost, just as you mentioned dear friend. Once again you were very accurate and informed. How can I thank you. You are always right. Thank you for your time. Be happy!
Would have to be something along those lines...
Glad you got the mystery resolved...
I am not always right... believe me.... lol

Can u install a 1.4 ecu in that 1.6 motor
I guess you can... never thought about it...
Thank you for watching!
Hi, Was your replacement ecu serial number the same with the car ecu serial number. Would it work with a different one? Thanks beforehand!
Hi
As far as is from a similar car, should work, even if the numbers are different... as sometimes different numbers only mean that the hardware and or software has been revised, but the functions of the ecu remain the same...
However, if you can get hold of one with the same numbers, the better....
Hope that helps.
Thank you for watching!
I see. Well ,I believe the replacement was from Meriva and my car is Zafira. The immo sequence went alright and the car started, unfortunatelly there were 3 errors: two with the fan and one with the AC. They were present but not functioning. Ac wasn't functioning and the radiator fan didn't start. Is there any way to reprogram the ecu or it is too complicate ? Thank you very much for replying! The guy who did the immo did not programm the VIN. Could that be the issue?
Have you checked the configurations?
If you can configure things in there, then is because that ecu does not have those functions...
Check configurations and go from there...
The AC was present in the configurations, still, didn't work. The guy who did the reprogramming made all the necessary steps and after that he said I should have bought the same serial number ecu because the software is different. We finally opened the faulty ecu which already was repaired 3 times and there was a loose wire. Now he will remove all the wires and weld new ones to make sure it lasts longer not just one month as it did now. Only one side, as the other one seems to be in order and not touched. Thanks again and take care!
Ok i have bought a complete set engine ecu bcm immobiliser reader transponder chip ignition barrel boot lock door lock ignition key and dash cluster plugged it all in the immobiler light is out have erased all the faults using opcom still did not start there was no ground feed to the fuel pump relay. I intoduced a ground feed and the fuel pump run and the car starts but the vin no is incorrect as whole set from other vehicle now it not reading the ac automatic transmission etc. What do u suggest i do do i still go and reset the ecu and follow your video or follow your video and program the can configuration and variant can please help me as i not sure what to do many thanks.
Program car configuration etc...
Still no need to reset ecu just do the can configuration etc.
I think you are confused about the reset procedure...
The reset it is just to allow the module to be programmed using a different pin... like into a different car...
The reset does not touch the flash inside the modules...
Is it possible to send your contact no so i can discuss the full matter with you many thanks.
Try the forum...
Myself or someone will help you...

How do you get the PIN from the dash?
With certains tools...
Op-com can do some, and other tools can also do it...
It all depends on the model...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs I have Op-com, the car is a Meriva A OPC
Not sure Op-com can read the pin on that one... depends on the ecu as well...
You might need other tools...

Hi. Can you help me to sort the problem with blinking orange car with spanner in Corsa D ive done all the same like on your video and there no changes. Thanks
Hi there I was wondering where do I get the software from and the cable to to connect to the car and also will this work the exact same way for a zafira MK1 2004 model.
Reason I'm asking is I have had the lamba sensor replaced but the engine management light stays on even though the error codes have been reset, the cables have been tested and seam to be ok so the next thing is the ECM that needs reset or replaced which looks simple by your video.
I hope you can help or advise.
Thanks
The lambda codes can be a result of something else... well you don't say the codes... so just thinking out loud here...
You can get Op-com on eBay... software comes with it...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs yeah I meant the lamba codes have been reset and nothing else comes up. The sensor has been replaced 3 times with the same issue and codes come back on once the engine has been switched back on.
What else could be the issue from your experience? I have heard it could be the ECM that's been tripped and needs replacing and can cost a arm and a leg to get someone to do it.
@@williamgall9616
It is possible that is the ecu... if they are definitely hard codes, and everything else has been checked...

I have changed my instrumen panel on my opel corsa c class 2005 i have the security code but its doesent work on body control module when i enter the security code it says wrong security code but when i enter the same security code ecu, and immobilizer its working but body controle modul says wrong security code
Which tool are you using?
👍👍👍
Opcom 1.99 version
The body control is ok ,but instrumental panel security code not work
Try a different version... different versions behave differently on different cars...
👍👍👍
If you replaced the cluster, you need the original pin code from the cluster in order to reset it first, just then it will accept the pin from the car you are trying to install it on...
👍👍👍
So if I have the pin code I can do all this with the autel ms908 ? Thanks
Most likely you can!
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Hi
Great video dude, can you set the mileage to the original value or is that stored in the instrument cluster ?
As that will flag on my next MOT

Thanks for the reply, I hope it doesn’t come to that.
I changed a head gasket and timing chain on a Corsa D 1.2 56 plate. Now I’ve got p0036, p0141 & p0304 sensor 2 and misfire pot 4.
I’ve got compression and fuel just no spark.
Taking (left pin coil pack from gearbox view) 1- 0v 2-12v. 3-6 pots 1-4 going pin 1-6 I don’t get same reading as 1-3,4,5 so if these are correct pin outs it could be coil pack but seem too much of a coincidence to me... all plugs are in and engine does run with misfire, I thought I was gentle with the cables too, ordered op-com should arrive by Friday. Love to hear your thoughts 👍
@@GarysTechSupport
Just check, double check, and triple check everything... it is easy to sometimes miss things... get some diagrams... it is a bit confusing the way you explain the pin out...
Then check primary ignition signal... if is there, and you have no secondary ingnition, then is your coil pack...
Hope that helps
Hi thanks for the video. Can im608 do this ecu replacement on meriva 2003?

@@LMAutoRepairs Thanks for the response. I used the IM608 to track all the menus as whiles following the video. All the menus are there. Except BCM reset. Program variant config and CAN config is under Diagnostic > select vehicle > service>powertrain>adaptations.
Is there a way to reset the bcm on im608? Thanks a lot for the video once again.
@@partoems9376
Most likely will be, but I never used it for that, even the MS908P I struggled in the past, and just ended up using Op-com...
But I am pretty surely will be there somewhere...
Just one thing, carefully reseting the BCM...
The BCM does rarely needs reseting... adding a replacement ecm does not require a BCM reset...if I recall correctly...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs IM608 is able to reset ecu and write the VIN successfully. Now i have dtc wrong vehicle id from instrument & body control module. I think that's where the bcm and IC reset is required.
IC... do the IC first... I don't think you need to do the BCM...
Hi would this work on Meriva 2008 1.3 CDTI as it’s got different ECU . Part number 55566400HQ? Thanks

@@LMAutoRepairs i have followed the steps but when connecting opcom to the car couldn’t access the car ecu . There is a message saying : initialling ecu and after saying : could not access ecu .

Hi what is a programmer is it similar to carprog.

Thanks John, for watching and for your comment!
The old ECU is not working properly, that's why I bought a new ECU. This ecu does not seem to be reset. Is it possible to reset the ECM on this ECU? Unfortunately, the car in which this ECU was installed does not exist.
i hope you can help me. thank you in advanced
Depending on the ecu...
Can be done via OBD or needs to be done on the bench...
Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs Thank you for your answer. okay i see.. the only way to reset the ECU is with carprog.. i am sorry but i am a newbie :)
No...
To reset it you need the pin...
You can read the data content from the ecu on the bench and then figure out the pin...
The reset even Op-com will be able to do it...
Carprog just might happens to be able to do it through OBD... depending on the ecu...
There is other tools that might help... but more expensive...
Very good job !
😊
Thanks!

Hello! If i change on an Astra G 1.7 DTI the ECM+imobiliser+key cip, do i need the CAR PASS ( PIN) of this ECM ? Thx!
THE STIG
If you get all the immobiliser parts, providing they all come from the same car, no pin is needed...
Or i get an reset ECM in that case i need only actualy PIN of ECM that is instaled on my car (i have it on car pass card). U know if i can program it with Delphi ds 150E or i need Op Com? thx!
THE STIG
Correct!
An reset ecu is ready to accept any code... so if you have the car pass you have all you need...
I never really worked with delphi... so don't really know if capable of that...
Tank you very much! U do a nice work!

thanks man, great video by the way
Hi lmsvvavr thanks for your videos they are invaluable in helping me fix a 2004 1.4 Corsa with a Z14XE engine. I bought a reset ECU with the same part no as the original (12237450 DXKB) from ebay. When following your instructions opcom connected to the ecu and stated it was a 12245500 FAHX for a Z16SE engine and that it had been reflashed previously. Do you know how to get it back to a 12237450 DXKB for the Z14XE with opcom or other tool? Also as it programmed to the car ok is there any risk in starting the engine with it thinking its a Z16SE?
Rob Thomas
Hi
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
That's weird.... to flash it back you need other type of tools... not opcom...
Do not know even if the engine will start... as some wires might connect to different pins on the ecu... also the mix air/fuel wouldn't be correct...don't really know... I never tried...
I would send it back and get the right one...
Sorry if I can't be more helpful this time...
Hi, thanks for the prompt response and its along the lines I was expecting. From the reading around forums I believe the ecu hardware is common to some engines, z14xe, z16xe and z16se. However the software flashed to it to support a specific engine is different and some are saying that the part number on the sticker can be different to whats flashed. In my case the stickers on the original one on the car matches what opcom reports and is what I purchased from ebay (they are quite rare). I think it has clearly been changed to the z16se version as opcom reports the repair shop and programming date have been set. Some are saying that tech2 can reflash this back to the version that will support the z14xe. Unfortunately I don't have access to that in Swansea, not sure who does and what it will cost (trying to do this on the cheap). I think my only option is to return it as I don't think the ebay seller realised this as it was advertised for the corsa which I don't think had a 1.6 engine? Also since I bought this I missed an entire set of ecu, immo ring, cluster, immo chip, auto cu which stated it was off a 1.4 Corsa auto and £20 cheaper than what I paid just for the ecu ... grrr! There is a 2 year story behind this but I think it proves that not many garages (been to at least 3!) are able to diag and fix these sorts of issues. So finding a skilled auto electrician, electronics repair expert and computer specialist like yourself is essential and very difficult! Thanks once again.
OK took the gamble and tried to start it. It didn't want to start but you could hear it trying to catch and eventually did with a bit of accelerator pedal but then cut out when the pedal was released.
An unidentified error came up which I'll post the code to later (on a different laptop). The code and cutting out maybe down to the wrong engine type being on the ecu .... or a hardware issue with the ecu or something else. I would have been surprised if the right ecu would have fixed everything.
I guess the good news is though that as I'd removed the fuel pump relay link (bodge) the engine clearly got fuel which means the fuel pump relay was activated and the pump working. This was one of the things pointing at a failing ECU amongst other things.
So I will chase the ebayer later although not sure how much more effort I'm going to put into this as the timing for further fix attempts is limited and its causing family issues now ;-)

Have a look here:
th-cam.com/video/L-WSXbthTBs/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching!
Using the OPCOM software you can find out ... but in order to can have available program options on OPCOM you will need to have your 4 number car security options (just with this number you can have the need available options in the OPCOM menu other way you can't do it) ... also this security number is important for the audio system (this is already set by the producer but if you make changes on the audio system you will need to set again) ... and like a recommendation is better to AVOID take out the + terminal of the car battery more than 10 minutes (most of the cars have already a lot of electronics and if you take out the battery for more than 10 minutes it can happen to need reprogramming some electronic car parts and will be not so easy for sure) and BE CAREFUL with OPCOM programming if you don't know exactly what you are doing in order to eliminate possible troubles made by your self (air bag outset, blocking engine start , lock doors ...). OPCOM is very useful software that can be used just for diagnostics (if you don't have the need knowledge's please do not use programming). All the best ...

Hello LM. Your video's are great and if it were not for you, I would be really stuck. One question. I can log into vaux com and get into the BCM,Immobiliser and Instrument pages but It won't let me into the engine pages. I am running firmware 1.45. What am I doing wrong. Thanks in Advance.
Paul Carney
Hi
So, you can't communicate with the engine ECU, is that correct?
What is the problem with the car?
Hello. Thanks for replying so fast. Yes that is correct. The engine turns over but will not start.
Paul Carney
Is the immobilizer light illuminated?
No it is not.
Paul Carney
Ok... because of the no communication I first thought about the immo not being disabled... which might still be the case...
But first things first...
Do you have to try another diagnostic machine?
If still no comms with the engine ecu, either the communication lines are broken, or the power to the ecu has been lost...
Surely you have done that, but check all the fuses and connections...
Is the car the same as this one, with the ecu attached to the engine block?
CAN YOU SHOW ME THE ECU NUMBER ON BODY. THANK YOU.
