Hi
Asked a few times in the past, about what exactly changes when you reset a Vauxhall/Opel ECU, so I decided that was time to cover the topic...
So, this reset, is the also called Tech2 reset, virginize, divorced... you name it! But basically, is reset the ECU to a state that you can program it again into another car.
I cover here, the procedure, look at what changes exactly after the reset, etc...
All this is performed on the bench, but the procedure is the same through the OBD.

Hi dear, thanks for all ur videos. Reset, virginize, immo Virgin, immo off, immo clear all these stufs proceed in immobiliser system and as u told addresses of changing in eeprom is different from an ecu to others and from car mark to other marks. It's simple the processor of ecu looks to VIN or pin or any infos in eeprom knowing exactly where is address for each information it's programmed, it depending of hardware and software version of ecus. We must learn any immobiliser system before attacking it or working on it and always always do backups before changing any thing. Thanks Luis, ur Algerian follower was here :-)

@@LMAutoRepairs why did you read the pin desoldering eeprom and not by maxisys or other ways?
Reason why I'm asking...
I'm still looking for a easy way retreaving pin code from ecu.
Carprog is not reading correctly my edc16c39
So maybe you have a lead for me( but not expensive like maxisys :) )
Merry Christmas, mate!
MERRY CHRISTMAS :) another great educational video

Thanks for all your videos. Just wondering if you can do a video on a vw more specifically long coding helper. Would like to have an insight of it.
Wanted to know how to disable tpms direct sensors on vw

Great video.
I think more manufacturers should allow for units to be reused, but I guess it opens the gates to thieves stealing units, been able to modify them to later access the vehicle (shaddy workshops) and what nots. Also right to repair is eroded with units that cannot be reset or reused, aside of the profit for new units.
I guess being environmentally friend is at the very bottom.
Indeed it is...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge. But I have a question and if you please can you answer it ?
I have Porsche Panamera hybrid 2016 which had an accident and damaged the half of the inverter ( you can separate it to two parts ). I tried to use a second hand one but unfortunately it is immobilized and the car won't run any more. I assembled them together and make it run again. The question is how can I know which EEprom that has the immobilizer inside it and how can I locate it on the board or can I even passed immo. ?
Thanks in advanced
PS: no one in the whole country here can help even Porsche themselves couldn't make the car alive again but I did it. So I am the only hope for that machine 😅😅
thanks a lot

Hii..m working on nissan sunny..it doesnt start some times nd security light stays on but sometimes it starts well nd security light goes away...the codes r- difference of key, nats antenna amp and id discord of bcm ecm..the transponder is all gud... what else cud it be...plzzz advice.. thank u
Good video just a question if you replaced the pin code with ff does the immobiliser get bypassed
No...
Thank you for watching!
So what are you resetting ? Whole ECU or just eeprom ?

hi sir thanks for all vedio iam learning from you and i need to know what is the best tooll china for programin ecu & airbag & key dash & bcm
That is a lot of things to program only with one tool... do you work more with a specific car brand?
Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs work with all cars modell
Hi Luis, first i wanna wish a merry christmas and a happy new year!
What tool do you suggest for eeprom vin change and programming tool ECU/AIRBAG/POWER STEERING that will do most of the cars?!? Thanks
Hi
A programmer like X-prog, or Xhorse...
Thank you for watching!
Hello thank you for this video!! Can you share a link for this software
The softwares come with the tools...
Hello.
Did you have 120 ohm resistor between CAN H and CAN L on 16 pin obd ?
Can you please explain more how you make this connection 😃
Don't think I did in this case...
If you need to connect one, it is as simple as just jump CAN-H and CAN-L with the resistor...
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for this wonderful info
?? Are you using the original opscom software??
No..., well, the software comes with the tool...
nice video
Thanks!
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs Hi, I just want to share my experience...
yesterday I was watching your video because I stock with wrong pin code (accidently make photo from another eeprom hex file with pin code) then when tried to reset ecu in the car I get "wrong pin" "wait time active 20min". after 20 hours of trying to solve this issue I noticed that vin in the foto does not match with vin in opcom. finally problem solved by writing firstly readed (original) eerpom file - no "wait time active" and ecu reseted without any issues.
👍👍👍
Hey I don't know if you watch Ivan over at pine hollow Auto diagnostics, but he just recently was going through hell with a Saturn Astra which I guess is similar to some sort of car that you guys have over in the UK. He was trying to do something very similar because all sorts of modules were swapped around!
I watched a few of his videos... not sure if I watched that...🤷♂️
👍👍👍
Great video as always.
Out of interest, what version of opcom was you using ?
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄
Hi
I believe a 2012...
Merry Christmas!
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs ok thanks. I'm using the genuine opcom pro version 150406b but my special functions and output tests are greyed out on the Corsa D.
So just to make things clear. We don't need an xprog to retrofit same type ecu from one car to another it just takes some regular functions of OpCom? We don't need to do all reading eeprom stuff. Is that correct?
Yes... As far as you have the pin codes, or and/or the replacement module has been reset...
Thank you for watching!
Here is an interesting one: after resetting ecu, bcm sdm and ipc and then reprogramming all back ( after bad battery ), the esc or traction control light would light on the dash, with no errors in the memory. Any idea on this? I used op-com for reprogramming.
Check configurations...👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs Thanks for your reply. You probably mean the variant configurations matching across the list of modules....
Correct...

Hi I have corsa 2007 airbag module water damage if I get a new airbag and copy damaged module eeprom and program that eeprom data to the new one will this work?
Should do...
👍👍👍
hi! can i replace a bad ECU on a astra 1.7cdti with another second hand one,without programming? what else should i need to replace as all system to work as it should do?(transponder,key transponder,cluster,etc?). i mean if i will replace all those car modules on my car,with others from a doner car ,would my car work as it should ??? start engine,remote locks,aircon,etc..? thx!
Hi
You can replace with an used one, but you will need to program it...
If you replace all those parts, yes everything should work...
Just remember, mileage will be incorrect, unless you find all those parts from a car with similar mileage, and there is a possibility that some features might not work until coded accordingly to the car... again, unless you get the parts from a car with the exact same options...
Good luck...
👍👍👍
Hi my 1.7 dti corsa 1625 fault code. Why problem.
Hi again, do you do micro soldering on request? I have a megane tomtom multimedia controller and it seems like some water got in somehow. There was some corrosion and one of the smd's have lost contact with the trace. I would try repair it but it's so tiny I cannot see anything at all. New part is only £35 but it's just a waste when all it needs is the smd replaced.
Why not try to find a GSM repair shop and they might help you. Unless you are local, paying post is gonna be as much as a " new " one.
hi guys i have problem with mu Opel Astra g 1.7 dti 2001.

car ist lean and lose power... any help please
Hi, I did an ecu reset on my Meriva A 1.6 because I always had errors on the carburetion (despite having replaced the lambda probe and manifold pressure probe).
After the reset I had to reprogram the immobilizer.
From after the first ignition the engine runs at 3 (cylinder 2 misfire error) will it be a coincidence that I have melted the coil?
The reset would not make a difference for your problem...
The reset is for the immobiliser...
I would say it is a coincidence...
Just make sure that the coding is correct, otherwise you have something else causing your issues...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs hello and thanks for the answer.
I replaced the coil and now the machine is working fine. it was a coincidence ... very well that the reset had an influence only on the immobilizer, I was afraid it could completely reset the control unit.
hi boss i need my ecu to be reset as i was told it may be an issue with it so pls let me know if you can do it many thanks
This reset will not do anything engine issues related...
This only clears the immobiliser, allow the ecu to be programmed again... that's all...
👍👍👍
Love your videos ,I'm getting old now and using a computer is like a black art to me, anyway I bought op-com to replace an ECU on a Corsa D ,I have managed to reset the ECU but can't see how to recode it
To program it you need to log in into the immobiliser and do it from there...
I have videos on that... just search the channel!
👍👍👍
My dear,
I intend to fully reset my Corsa D ECU.
Can you tell from your experience is it going to be a problem for this type of car.
It is done on the immobiliser module...
👍👍👍
So where can I get that tool up comm
Ebay for example...
Thank you for watching!
👍👍👍
what about roof ecu? astra H
Hi My friend,
I reset my ecu mjd603. And i have original pin code but immo not accepted this code! What can be ?
I need to use for immo program in Bcm menü this code but as like i say opcom not accept this pin code more. ( ım sure original pin code same because i can read epprom95320 with mpps v18. Also wenn i reprogram epromm with mpps car can start again not flash immo symbol. But i cannot eith original code immo program 😆
Thank you for a great video, we have a corsa D Z12 XEP with a Bosch ecu, ' 0261 20 89 40 ' ME 7.6.2 , and it had a battery go flat, which threw up the immoboliser spanner on the dash board, we 'reset the e .c.u ' with a Tech2 diagnostic machine (a china clone) and we have a Tis sps programming software installed on a laptop (Panasonic cf 19 with windows 7 operating system) to get the programming approval, but it does not connect with the Tech 2, how do i reinstall the 'Pin' back again, i have a Galletto v,0475 and a Kess 2 programmer, have downloaded the files, what can i do now with the file to modify or insert the correct pin back again, will it work, or does it need the Tech 2 to 'reprogram it, i have the Pin code from the owners security access card, would appreciate your kind help, thanks.🙂
Hi
It doesn't work like that...

@@LMAutoRepairs Thanks Luis, keep up the great video's, best regards, 🙂
Hey man, If I have a broken ECU, can I simply remove the eeprom chip from the broken damaged one and fit it on to a replacement one or is it not as simple as that? Cheers!
Depending on the ecu... yes...
Some that doesn't work...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs thanks man. Same ECU as your video from Z13DTJ Corsa D
Yes... the eeprom swap should work...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs thanks for your help bud. I’ll try read the data from the chip first and then if I have to I’ll swap them. I used mpps to get the code off the new ecu but opcom just hangs when it asks me for the security code when I go to reset the ecu.
Make sure the security time is not active...
Also, certain Op-com versions are a bit unreliable on certain cars and functions...
👍👍👍👍👍
😊
👍👍👍👍
Which EPROM reader are you using?
X-prog...
👍👍👍
And what hardware?
X-prog...
😊
Could you explain where to fin the PIN on the edc15m board?
It does not really work like that... different manufacturers use different immobiliser systems, and data is stored in different areas on the modules... each car is a case...
👍👍👍
please psg 16 opel how to read eeprom ?
please help
Don't think I ever done that one...
But there is a frame to make it easier to connect...
There is info out there...
Thank you for watching!
I'm asking because I have reset ecu from other car and I wonder if its gonna work when I swap eprom
This reset just resets the immobiliser...
Thank you for watching!
Hi
Can I used the reset method to opel kadett 0261204602 20I SEH motronic Ecu and immo off
Hi can. you repair Astra ECU
