Hi
This car came to me with the complaint that the service or spanner light was on, and the car would not go over 80 Mph.
After a scan, P1120 was found to be the fault...
But what was actually causing the fault, was something quite different than what the code was pointing to...
Follow me on this video to find out what was the problem...
Flux used: NC-559-ASM-UV

@@LMAutoRepairs I had just replaced the camchain on my Corsa D DTE diesel, (horrible job but better than waiting till the camchain fails) the reason for no performance was that I had not reconnected the vacuum line to the vacuum pump on the inlet camshaft so the turbo actuator was not working. I do have an annoying spanner sign caused by the P068 code neutral position sensor which I can't clear, not yet sure if it's ECU or sensor. ECU connection shows 4.9v reference voltage, 0v ground, 11v on the signal wire which seems odd to me. Once again, many thanks for your efforts!

Got exactly same unit at the moment on the bench, mine isn't communicating, was a bit corroded on the side opposite to connectors, not too bad, but cleaned it and checked it and still no go, so back at it and we'll see. Thanks for the video, was thinking of swapping eeprom when I get replacement unit, you just answered my question. Thanks.
Hope you get it sorted!

Great effort on the repair. Top man. The most important thing to take away for Corsa D owners is to clean out the drains indicated in the video. If they are blocked water can't escape, will build up and ingress into the ECU case causing damage to the circuit board as seen in the video. The ECU sits on the same shelf level as the drains. Ridiculous placement of ECU by Vauxhall. Every Corsa D I have seen has the tool through the car service light permanently illuminated I suspect as a result of the water ingress to the ECU issue. Fortunately most drive normally and further damage avoided if the owners keep the drains clear.
👍👍👍
Perfectly done video. Well done! 👏👏

Appreciate watching this video mate and for you taking your time, to see if you could help us with the faults that you're having, but if you are in the UK,you don't want to exceed 70 mph anyway on a British Road, so if you wasn't aware that 70 is the maximum speed limit, I thought I'd just share that with you,
Really good repair, thank you so much! :)

Can you remember what was the voltage reading and ratio on the faulty app sensor after repairing ? Also sorting the 5v reference at the signal wire shouldnt make a good working ecu to read 5v ?
Hi do you know which part causes capacitor 1 low voltage permanent injector 1&4 low voltage
Nice one buddy, these Corsas can be a nightmare :-)
Yes they can....😥

Good DX and repair. Louis has much better access to Apple Schematics. I am surprised that no one can get the schematics for ECMs on cars. It would have saved hours of trying to repair but still requiring another PCB. Not wasted time though as you shared.
Yes, Louis does...
I would love to find them for ECUs... as I said, I never found anything relevant...

I think the connection you have to remake from the throughhole is further up the side of the ECU, have seen others do it a couple times

EDC16 Ecu with no legs on MCU very common on high side injectors to fail. pin32 is the ground for app sensor 2 that’s why you getting beeping sound on middle pin of voltage regulator. Pin 1 on voltage regulator is a ignition voltage coming from pin 52, pin 2 on v-regulator is 5v, pin 4,5 is 2.5 volts. Ignition voltage goes to those black diodes above the two 100 ohms resistors from forward base diodes to two resistors then to the capacitor or NPC ( non polarised capacitor) then last to the voltage regulator. 90% of one side of the NPC is connected with ground. Pin 15 is 5v ref for app 2. Pin 35 is ground for app 1 . Pin 41 is app 2 signal. Pin 65 is app 1 signal . Pin 83 is 5v ref for app 1. Manufacturers don’t release circuit board schematic unfortunately that’s why aftermarket and dealer mechanics they just replace entire Ecu. Unfortunately tracing is the only option to find a fault on circuit board
Hi
Not sure what you are referring to...
This was not an EDC16...
The Corsa D 1.3 cdti comes with Magneti Marelli ecus...
🤷♂️
👍👍👍
EDC16 is the second generation of the Ecu that manufacturers used in their vehicles 2005-12 was the duration. EDC16 MCU has no pins/legs that’s how we find what generation is the ECU. unlike EDC17 they have more pins/legs I have seen 41 pins only on one side of the MCU. also on edc17 (TRICORE) says on top of the MCU. Magneti Martelli, Bosch, continental etc are the company’s that uses their logos or names on top of ecu’s.
I know all of that, just don't know what that has to do with the ecu in de video...
👍
I removed the big cpu next to the eeprom and checked all the pins for continuity from the other side to see if I could see whare the middle trace would go to still never got it. Checked all the tabs wtf man so annoying
good call resealing the ecu
Absolutely...
Thank you for watching!
Hi great video 👌🏽
I’ve got an Opel corsa D 1.3 CDTi which I’ve already changed the turbo 4 times within 3 years from reputable mechanics here in South Africa. The car drives but it’s in limp mode (no power). What could be the problem? Because it keeps on breaking the turbo.
Thanks
Scan the car... oil pressure or oil feed and/or drain pipes are the first things that come to mind...
👍👍👍
Let me ask you something. I have a 1.3cdti Corsa D, 2010. These have the water damage ECU due to their really stupid location under the wipers. The drain holes get plugged up and water builds up and damages the ECU. Well, before this my car was running well.Then after issue, would not start. I am a mecanic but due to time I had to take it to a shop. I got a used ECU and it was programmed to my car. It's been about a thousand mile and the car feels different. First it seems like it consumes more fuel. Then I have a slight engine vibration if I am standing still and barely increase RPM. Could this be related to the ECU, may be being used it had an issue or that the programer did not program it properly or should I be looking somewhere else?
Hi
First make sure the ecu you installed is from a car with the same engine code, and that was not remapped or something...
You can try to flash it with SPS, that should install the original maps...
But, check the car for codes first...
One more thing, I guess the ecu you installed was used, I have had instances where used ecus were send to me damaged...
👍👍👍
Hello there please help...
I've watched your videos and they give good advice. Some have thought I've had magic powers as I head direct to the issue, usually I watched one of your videos based on their problem.
Any how, as I can't contact you (where is the website)...
I have a bipper, there is no can between the BSI and ECU.
Now the wires should be twisted right? I can see this on the ECU clip2 but the one has odd wires which do no coalate.
Auto data was not helpful with a pin out and of course parts are by code, so takes a little working out....
Basically the bipper won't start as the ECU is not present and the ECU sends the wrong immobiliser code (not recognised) so there is obviously a problem on the can.
If you send more details I can try to look at which wires to check for can...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Thank you for another GREAT video!!!
I thought the 2 sensors in 1 is safety measure so that car could not accelerate due to a faulty input...
The car goes in limp mode if one fails...

@@LMAutoRepairs i had exactly the same fault on the same car today. I knew as soon as i saw the fault code it wouldnt be the accelerator pedal, watched your video and then took a look at ecu and could see water had been there. Customer didnt want to go any further.... u saved me a good couple hours there mate. Thanks

Yes... if there was signs of water...

hi Luis
good test
but ï need clarification when you putted jumper wire between voltage reference and signal wire , i think that in this test it should tell us that ecu is good , but in your end test you find the ecu is fault, can you clarify this please
Correct... which means that the issue was further inside the ecu...
Hope makes sense...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs thank you so much for responding
i mean when you did test jumper wire you find the correct value
from ecu , that is mean the ecu and wiring is good and fault is found in sensor only in this test , but ere the ecu is fault why ?
hope i make sense
@@maforautorapair5935
Yes it does... the pedal testes also revealed no issues with the pedal....
So, pedal good, wiring good, ecu feedback looked good, but still gives error for the pedal... ecu was the only thing left...

Hi mate. Where are is your location
Hi
I have the same engine Z13DTJ and I can't fix black smoke issue on acceleration I've checked everything single things can't find what's wrong no vaccum Leaks or any faults code, replaced maf too ...
One thing I've noticed boost pressure command doesn't match with actual boost it's always behind 10-15 points.
What can I do next?
Sorry for long message
Thanks
Hi
Black smoke is usually caused by un-burnt fuel... often caused by air leak...
Throughly check for any split air pipes etc... specially after the turbo... somethings the leak is only visible under pressure... ence the smoke only under acceleration...
You you can, do a smoke test... that should reveal any leaks...
Hope that helps.
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs thanks for the reply
I did smoke test forgot to mention it but there were no leaks at all , also on idle when revving hard I can see smoke ..
@@temurxox5634
Ok...
My next step would be to remove the intake manifold... ensure is not clogged with gunk... which is kinda normal after the egr... that can restrict the air flow...
While in there, clean the egr etc...
If that is ok, then perhaps the injectors...
I can't help much more without looking at the problem... if that makes sense...
Essentially, the main two possibilities are, either there is not enough air reaching the pistons, or there is too much fuel being injected...
Either because the system is made to think it needs to inject more, or faulty injectors leaking into the cylinders...
Hope it makes sense...😛
@@LMAutoRepairs thanks
You know if I can find the problem with a scanner looking at some data maybe ?
Thanks
@@temurxox5634
Possibly...
But is is mechanical, there is a chance that live data will no show anything relevant...
4:41 hold it there for a sec. How many failure modes has a potmeter? Do you think there is one failure mode, where the sensor would give 100% full throttle? Is this safe? It isn't that you couldn't drive the car, but how many death occupants would be on GMs shoulders?
No...
I have seen them where with one track not working, the car still drives, but for example will not rev above 2k and no speed above 30 mph or something like that...
If one track reads full throttle, idle or no reading at all, but the other still gives a completely different reading, or gives what the ecu expects to see, the car goes in limp mode and puts the car in those conditions...
I recall a Nissan I have done way before CZcams,... one of the signal wires was damaged, giving an open circuit... the other one was still working, the car would barely drive, but was dropped to me driving... same with this Corsa....
I am probably wrongly assuming that all manufacturers and all cars behave the same, and should probably have mentioned in the video...
Hope makes more sense now...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
The pots read the inverse of each other. Nothing to do with calculating better, but the ECU knows if both read inverse of each other both are okay and not damaged. If one is damaged you have limited throttle position available and limp.

5:15 I can show you evidence of an Vauxhall (Opel) which follows APP sensor 2 voltage ripple and rpm ripples in the same way. APP1 used for counter check only. I don't agree with your statement for accuracy, you're not the designer, you can't know.
Are you the designer?
How can you tell then, that APP is used for counter check only?
The car goes in limp mode regardless of with one fails... so I would say needs both readings to correctly calculate and ensure accuracy of the pedal position...
I am not say you are not correct, and I said, I believe and makes some sense that this is how it works...
But have a look at this, might help to complement my explanation...
