Thanks for the video. I have a 2000 Astra which had a bad ECU, and using this video and one of your other ones on retrieving the pin from the replacement ECU has the car going perfectly again and fault free!
@@Mr400zx Glad that it worked for you, I am having trouble locating a replacement ECU. At the moment the old ECU is plugged back in and touch wood its worked for 5 days now. Can I ask how you obtained your ECU?
Fantastic video and information. The help you have given to so many drivers who for one reason or another are not able to pay a garage, is amazing :) You can chew all you want mate ;)
I have exactly this problem! Same codes and symptoms. When cold, the spanner light is off, but as the engine warms up it comes on and goes into limp mode. The garage I took it to said its the throttle position sensor, but that it wouldnt be worth putting in a new pedal. I need a new ecu. Thk you. Once I get a second hand one I shall follow your instructions with the reset ecu. Thks very much!
Hello, having the same problem, pretty sure its the ecu but i would like to test the wires first, could you tell me the number of the 6 wires on the ecu please? Didn’t find a exact diagram for this car
hi was following to replace my faulty ecu. i have bought my code from vauxhall and tried to reset the cars ecu but it says the pin is incorrect. the vin it shows is also different from the car's vin.i'm guessing that someone as changed the ecu and transponder etc as a set and changed the cars identity. i have a new ecu with pin is there anyway of fitted it without the old ecu/pin
Great vidio you made here,,,, i had p1482 cooling fan no 2,,spanner light on when warm,about 9 miles of driving,,,checked all wires,, pluged i opcom same as yours,,, bingo Ec u changed also transponder,because had no code,,, then i had my transponer chip red,costing £20, then used my old pin for new ecu,,,2 years now still working fine,,opcom was £7 from china,,,not a clone,,happy days.[Terry
Hi, on the 2002 opel corsa c 1.7 di, I have sobs at idle, I have to go downhill without accelerating in third gear, but if I accelerate it is perfect. the accelerator as soon as you touch it looks like an on / off switch the engine responds with a click, the same is true when you leave it.
great fix ,i have a vauxhall astrag 2002 problem with it is i cant get full load on my trottle position idle is fine partial load is fine but full load keeps geting me invalid,changed ecu trottle body and pedal still the same please let me know if you can help .thanks
Hello, Great video! I have a couple of questions for you. I own a vauxhall Astra '03. Recently I have had problems when trying to accelerate, thecar just lost power one day, while driving. I restarted the car a couple of times and the problem went away... temporarily. The problem started becoming more frequent after a while. It would work just fine if i left it standing for about 5 hours than after 10 minutes of driving it would lose power again or if i turn the ignition on and off again. I also have the ABS light comming on intermittently. I left the car at a workshop and they found four different fault codes. But couldn't find the problems. (The codes were P0135, P0230, P0530, C0040.) I was wondering if this sound like a faulty ECU to you? Also what software are you using in the video and is it available to download anywhere? Thank you on before hand! Best regards
Hi Thank you for watching! Some of the codes you have can be related with the issue you are experiencing. What I would do is delete all the codes, if they are only stored codes, drive the car and see what comes up again. One of the codes you have is related to the O2, the other one to the fuel pump, you might need to properly test this components and the wiring from them back to the ECU. .. if all OK, then it might be the ECU at fault. Test also the components related from the other faults, it will help you to do a better judgment. I am afraid I can't help you much more with the info you have provided Hope that helps.
Thanks for the video. I have a similar problem but the codes I am getting are U2105 and U2106. I have already changed the gearbox oil. The spanner light keeps coming up and the car goes into limp mode. Any advice on what to do?
Hi, did you ever get this resolved? I am getting the U2106 and P1700 error code and I have sent the ECU away to be tested but after saying that it can be tested they are now saying that its to old (2003).
@@sarahlou75 No I had to crash the car. Apparently, it is the TRANSMISSION ECU you need to change not the standard ECU. It can be found somewhere just under the battery. Just get another one second-hand from a similar model in the breaking yard and have it remapped for your car. I was caught up with moving to another house with on-road parking and my MOT expired so I had to get rid of the car. I hope this helps.
+lmsvvavr great video, question though - how did you fix the first problem? Did you changed the wheel bearing hub or something else? I have the following problem with my Astra 2002 1.6 8v nonABS (takes the speed from wheel bearing hub on the left wheel): 1- Sometimes the speedometer is not working for 2-5 mins when I turn the engine on and driving it. Then works normally. 2- Only when the speedo is not working the engine power is not stable - kangarooing (small jumpings) and sometimes the engine cut out when I approach traffic lights/junctions (braking without on gear - idling) So I am more thinking like it is the ECU or the ABS wheel hub. Any advices please??
Hi Thank you for watching. The non ABS models take the speed from that left wheel, you can measure the sensor using an oscilloscope, part of the speedo system, is also a converter, with the shape of a relay, which is located on the driver side footwheel... They can also fail. Hope that helps....
Hi, I wanted to ask you if every time you reset the ECU, you have to reset the automatic gearbox? Because my Astra h has the automatic transmission and since I reset and reprogrammed the ECU I have problems with the error P0700 (TCM) transmission control module. Thanks in advance, Antonio.
@@LMAutoRepairs Actually now that I've seen his video, no! Because the guides that I found previously with OP COM here on CZcams, for the ECU reprogramming after the reset, nobody entered these settings, in fact now seeing this precious video I was impressed! In fact after the ECU reprogramming I started to have problems with TCM (certainly not set after the reset) and sometimes even 1120/1122 accelerator pedal as in his video. Now I hope to solve! Thank you for your kind availability!

Broken pins? If the pins are in use, check is there is wiring on the plug side, I would say could well be your problem... But without checking diagrams, it is a bit more difficult to tell... Trace the wires, is there is any going to those missing pins... 👍👍👍

Hello LM, and everyone else, thanks for the video. I have two questions please: 1) Is Opcom just for Vauxhall/Opel? 2) I have seen Opcom sets on ebay for around £20 new - is that the kind of thing you have here in this video, or is yours a more expensive version? Thanks

Hi. My Zafira 2004 has had fault 1571 brake sensor), 1482 and 1483 (fan relay) since I had the car. Just recently it developed 1120, 1122 and 1550 and went into limp mode. Had a new pedal and pedal sensor but only 4 days later the codes 1122 and 1550 are back and car intermittently goes back into limp mode. I have a feeling it could be a EACH fault. Does this sound like I'm on the right track??
Hi Thank you for watching and for your comment! In this case the ECU came reset (no pin) and ready to be programmed. You will still need the pin from your car... You will have it on the car security card. If you don't have that, the dealer will provide it at the cost of a small fee. Last option is to retrieve the code, for that you have a few options... carprog is one of them... Google will help you with it... Hope that helps.
Hi... I have already explained this... But don't mind to do it again... The replacement ECU came already reset... so no pin needed... The pin you are going to need is the one from your car... That one you can get it from the dealer or with another tool capable of retrieve the code... carprog for example... Hope that helps...
Hi there. I have Vauxhall’s zafira. 1.6. Ecu fault I order mother one on eBay same part number I put now immobiliser flash can I program immobiliser or vin number thanks ??
auto uk Hi You need to reset that ecu first... and then program the immo again using the pin from the car where you are trying to install it... If the ecu you got from eBay came with the pin code, you can do everything with opcom... Thank you for watching!
LM Auto Repairs Hi thanks I have pin for 1 one. But 2nd one I buy from eBay. I don’t now the pin . I rest first one I program immobiliser car start but when I put eBay one Ecu wish not pin code I program immobiliser car not start. Code came up immobiliser receiver wrong signal :)
auto uk Auto UK.... I have answered that question... you don't need to reset your ecu... you need to reset the one you want to program to the car... if you don't have the pin code, then you need to find a way of finding it... carprog... etc... otherwise you will never get that ecu to work on that car...
Please when the card fails can it just be reprogrammed or changed....my opel has been down one month...It read accelerator pedal sensor. .even when I changed the pedal it didn't work..the tech now says the card..I changed card but two plugs stopped burning..it's a pity for OPEL
Hello, this is very Strange... Ich changed the ecu and programmed it like your video. The spanner stops blinking after setting my pincode. After turning off the engine and turning it on again the spanner starts blinking again. Now I cannot even connect with Carprog to Ecu. Any ideas what went wrong???
Yes I have OP-Com. Could connect to immo. I have checked Secret Code, MKN, VIN etc and it seems to be OK. I looked also in Measuring Block and noticed there is no Transponder Key... I think this is the problem. Is it possible to reprogram my originial key with it? Thx
I've purchased a secondhand ECU that has already been reset. I followed your instructions but it would not program - probably due to the configuration not matching my car. I've configured the ECU variant and CAN to match my original specs, and I've also reset my BCN, immobilizer, ECU and instrument cluster. Then, I tried to program immobiliser and ECU through immobilizer function as you suggested. However, it does not go through with it and gets stuck on "See Checking Procedure Before Programming !" . Have I done something wrong and can this be corrected?
Radical Tide Hi You might be not following the procedure correctly... There is out there a step by step manual on how to do this stuff... Google and you will find it. Otherwise let me finish shifts and I can share it with you...
lmsvvavr Thanks. It's because I was following another guide online as well as your video and it said to reset the ICP and BCM. Am I getting this problem because the BCM has been reset and is no longer accepting my key?
Radical Tide If you have reset all the modules, then you might want to do immo and ECU at once, and then the rest... Don't think there is a particular order for the rest, ipc and bcm....
This has happened to my 12 plate corsa d 1.4 automatic. While throttle pedal was changed and ECU reset and it cut out while driving again. Wouldn't let me accelerate at all then wouldn't even crank on start. Garage are now saying I need a new ECU. Just worried that the problem will persist any suggestions?
Hi Thank you for watching! The first step will be to get the codes from the ECU, that can help to point you in the right direction. If the pedal was changed and you still have the same problem, obviously the cause for it is something else. Although the codes can give you some clues, this is not always the case, as sometimes can be something else that is causing a false code. For example, you have a code for your air flow meter (MAF), it might not be nothing wrong with it, for example if the is no feed (voltage) to it due to a broken wire... In a case like that, and based on your info, before a faulty ECU can be diagnosed, there is some checks that need to be done. They can be time consuming, and that is why sometimes garages prefer to replace parts and hope it works, rather that spend time looking for the root cause of the problem. Sorry if can help you more.
2/3 of the codes were throttle related and the other was a signal from ECU to gearbox. Garage has said that my ECU is faulty and they will replace it. Just dread it happening again
+All Things Beauty UK Well is the ECU has been diagnosed faulty then you obviously need to get it replaced. If it happens again? Some cars have their ECUs in a really bad location, some Vauxhalls have the ECUS bolted to the block, has we all know one of the things electronics don't like is heat... so attach the ECU to the engine was not a very smart idea. .. And that is one of the reasons why they fail. So, bottom of line is, yes it can happen again, but a new ecu should last for time... Hope that helps.
Please I need assistance with 2003 Vauxhall Astra. The engine starts and dies after a few seconds. It gives the following 3 error codes P0120-2 - Throttle position sensor circuit 1 voltage low.

So i dont know eather what is original part number of the first manufactured ECU of my car. I found second hand ECU's for Astra g z16xe on Ebay and i want to replace it but i am not sure what part number of the ecu is compatible with my car.

hi like watching your chanel , very precise and informative and well presented , i hope you can help me as the local garages dont seam to be able to , , i get code p1631 twice and p0100 on an opel corsa c 1.7dti . the only info i managed till today has to do with the anti theft system and air mass (maf) , but the car has never refused to start or cut out , sometimes it will lose power and turn on the spaner light and i lose power for a minute other times it makes no difference and the car will run ok ... had the key checked and the chip is good ...I'm stomped on how to fix this problem , many thanks and keep uploading these informative videos ...top work ...
Hi The P0100 is referring to the MAF... you might have a MAF that is starting to fail... But check the intake for carbon build up... clean if needed... that can restrict the air flow, giving faults for the MAF...

LM Auto Repairs Thanks for replying, Op-com version is 1.95. My fear is that op-com won't read this replacement AC Delco ECU and carprog either. Vauxhall won't swap it if it's not erased as you probable know.. I was just wondering if you have read this type ECU with Op-com? It's off a 2012 Merida 1700 diesel. Cylinder 2 open circuit, Common fault apparently. I sent it for repair but multi layer PCB faulty between layers.
Wayne Jones Never done that one... so can't really say a lot... But from eBay, can you not find one ecu already reset? That would save you some headaches... To program the replacement ecu, you do it through the immobilizer... not the ecu itself...

If you touch reset ecu function, bye bye start engine. What you don't know, don't touch. I wouldn't trust opcom at all for config readout. MT or AT coding, post ecu ID and software version.
Got similar advice through the Vauxhall owners forum. Suspect my model is so old the transmission coding is not programmable so will leave well alone.

Hi As you be or not aware, some of the China carprog have a few flaws. .. and cause you never know which one you are going to get....

Hello, my friend .. I have a problem with an opel astra G year 2004 motor 1.8, this vehicle presents a problem that does not accelerate and has the turn on the engine wrench light and light, put scanner and throw the dtc P1120 and P0120 , Test the accelerator pedal sensor and the electronic throttle body and these are in good condition. Checking the input and output signals of the accelerator pedal sensor, I could verify that one of the 5 volt reference voltage of the APP 1 is 0 volts and the APP 2 is 5.01 volts, I assume that the problem May be the ECU. Similarly to TPS 1, the reference voltage of 5 volts in one is 0 volts and the other 5 volts. I am almost sure that the problem is the ECU, I am right ..?, I hope your good comments and advice .. Greetings from Venezuela.
angel navarro Hi It looks that you have done all the tests, and you are in the right direction... to test it even further, you can jump the 5v reference that still working, to the app where the 5v are missing... if the problem is the 5v reference missing from the ECU, when you do this, the codes just go away... as you will have the app with the two 5v reference... If you verify the above, then is possible that the ECU is at fault... but check connectors and wiring before assume that. Hope that the above makes sensor to you... Thank you for watching!
OK thanks. Now. Why does the TPS 1 also have 0 volts at its reference voltage ..? . It has to do with the APP1 has 0 volts in its reference voltage too ..? The TPS1 works directly with the APP1 and the TPS2 works directly with the APP2 ..?
angel navarro That's how it should work... each position sensor will have a separate voltage reference... Now if you have one missing, you can just test by use the one that still working to feed the one that is missing...
+armando nika when the fault occurs the app 1 signal voltage becomes 0.5 volts so im checking the 5v ref and the signal to catch it but its not happening anymore 😔
+lmsvvavr ahhahahah me too man, do you have hangouts or something where i can write to you? I have seen the voltage decrease so if it is must be a 5v ref issue and not a ground othervise i would have a raise at the signal voltage when the fault occurs, im i right?
Hi OP-COM does not retrieve security code... It does require the security to do immobiliser and some coding functions, to get the security code there is other tools and techniques to to achieve it. (watch my other videos and read the comments...)
+Med téchnicien I do not have GM MDI, although I don't think it can retrieve the pin either... Unless you connect to GM server, but obviously you need an account for that.... There is some dedicated tools for immo and pin functions... Google will be able to help you... But for example, car prog is a tool to have if you do opel/Vauxhalls...

Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Hello, Great video!
I have a couple of questions for you.
I own a vauxhall Astra '03. Recently I have had problems when trying to accelerate, thecar just lost power one day, while driving. I restarted the car a couple of times and the problem went away... temporarily. The problem started becoming more frequent after a while. It would work just fine if i left it standing for about 5 hours than after 10 minutes of driving it would lose power again or if i turn the ignition on and off again. I also have the ABS light comming on intermittently. I left the car at a workshop and they found four different fault codes. But couldn't find the problems. (The codes were P0135, P0230, P0530, C0040.) I was wondering if this sound like a faulty ECU to you? Also what software are you using in the video and is it available to download anywhere?
Thank you on before hand!
Best regards
Hi
Thank you for watching!
Some of the codes you have can be related with the issue you are experiencing.
What I would do is delete all the codes, if they are only stored codes, drive the car and see what comes up again.
One of the codes you have is related to the O2, the other one to the fuel pump, you might need to properly test this components and the wiring from them back to the ECU. .. if all OK, then it might be the ECU at fault.
Test also the components related from the other faults, it will help you to do a better judgment.
I am afraid I can't help you much more with the info you have provided
Hope that helps.

Hello I cant find ecu in my 2003 astra 1.6 can you please help.
Thanks for the video. I have a similar problem but the codes I am getting are U2105 and U2106. I have already changed the gearbox oil. The spanner light keeps coming up and the car goes into limp mode. Any advice on what to do?
Hi, did you ever get this resolved? I am getting the U2106 and P1700 error code and I have sent the ECU away to be tested but after saying that it can be tested they are now saying that its to old (2003).
@@sarahlou75 No I had to crash the car. Apparently, it is the TRANSMISSION ECU you need to change not the standard ECU. It can be found somewhere just under the battery. Just get another one second-hand from a similar model in the breaking yard and have it remapped for your car. I was caught up with moving to another house with on-road parking and my MOT expired so I had to get rid of the car. I hope this helps.
+lmsvvavr great video, question though - how did you fix the first problem? Did you changed the wheel bearing hub or something else? I have the following problem with my Astra 2002 1.6 8v nonABS (takes the speed from wheel bearing hub on the left wheel):
1- Sometimes the speedometer is not working for 2-5 mins when I turn the engine on and driving it. Then works normally.
2- Only when the speedo is not working the engine power is not stable - kangarooing (small jumpings) and sometimes the engine cut out when I approach traffic lights/junctions (braking without on gear - idling)
So I am more thinking like it is the ECU or the ABS wheel hub. Any advices please??
Hi
Thank you for watching.
The non ABS models take the speed from that left wheel, you can measure the sensor using an oscilloscope, part of the speedo system, is also a converter, with the shape of a relay, which is located on the driver side footwheel...
They can also fail.

In this case the ECU came reset (no pin) and ready to be programmed.
You will still need the pin from your car...
You will have it on the car security card.
If you don't have that, the dealer will provide it at the cost of a small fee.
Last option is to retrieve the code, for that you have a few options... carprog is one of them...

I've purchased a secondhand ECU that has already been reset. I followed your instructions but it would not program - probably due to the configuration not matching my car. I've configured the ECU variant and CAN to match my original specs, and I've also reset my BCN, immobilizer, ECU and instrument cluster. Then, I tried to program immobiliser and ECU through immobilizer function as you suggested.
However, it does not go through with it and gets stuck on "See Checking Procedure Before Programming !" .
Have I done something wrong and can this be corrected?

You might be not following the procedure correctly...
There is out there a step by step manual on how to do this stuff... Google and you will find it.

So what is the modules that you have left to program?
lmsvvavr ICP, BCM, ECU AND Immo. Should I do them in a particular order?

This has happened to my 12 plate corsa d 1.4 automatic. While throttle pedal was changed and ECU reset and it cut out while driving again. Wouldn't let me accelerate at all then wouldn't even crank on start. Garage are now saying I need a new ECU. Just worried that the problem will persist any suggestions?
Hi
Thank you for watching!
The first step will be to get the codes from the ECU, that can help to point you in the right direction.
If the pedal was changed and you still have the same problem, obviously the cause for it is something else.
Although the codes can give you some clues, this is not always the case, as sometimes can be something else that is causing a false code.
For example, you have a code for your air flow meter (MAF), it might not be nothing wrong with it, for example if the is no feed (voltage) to it due to a broken wire...
In a case like that, and based on your info, before a faulty ECU can be diagnosed, there is some checks that need to be done.
They can be time consuming, and that is why sometimes garages prefer to replace parts and hope it works, rather that spend time looking for the root cause of the problem.
Sorry if can help you more.
2/3 of the codes were throttle related and the other was a signal from ECU to gearbox. Garage has said that my ECU is faulty and they will replace it. Just dread it happening again
+All Things Beauty UK
Well is the ECU has been diagnosed faulty then you obviously need to get it replaced.
If it happens again?
Some cars have their ECUs in a really bad location, some Vauxhalls have the ECUS bolted to the block, has we all know one of the things electronics don't like is heat...
so attach the ECU to the engine was not a very smart idea. ..
And that is one of the reasons why they fail.
So, bottom of line is, yes it can happen again, but a new ecu should last for time...
Hope that helps.

P1550- electronic throttle system (ETS) - in emergency mode
P1600- engine control module (ECM) - program malfunction
P1120 - accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor - circuit malfunction.
ECU/ECM need to be replaced, ECU/ECМ is not programmed
The problem is that i dont know if the previous owner already changed the ecu once or not and if it is programmed good or not. So i dont know eather what is original part number of the first manufactured ECU of my car. I found second hand ECU's for Astra g z16xe on Ebay and i want to replace it but i am not sure what part number of the ecu is compatible with my car.

@@LMAutoRepairs Thanks for the prompt reply, much appreciated! it is a 1.6 16V - Z16SE . The garage has reported the following fault codes: P1122 (Sensor 2), P1120 (broken tube- sorted) , P0130 (O2 sensor malfunction- sorted) P1550 (limp mode). Not mention about ECU fault. I am thinking to get the Op-com to check what is going on on both of my Astras. Anyway, the guy at the garage has clean the connections on the "ECU" behind the front bumper on the Left hand side..but it does look different (the location of the 2 connectors) from the one you show on the video. I found that "ECU" attached on the right hand side of the engine. Thanks again, M
Forgot... is the ECU pin code (4 digit) the same as the one I use to activate the Car stereo? Thanks :-)
No... different pin...
@@LMAutoRepairs Ah! Do you know if the PIN shows on the Op-com on Astra G or do I need another program? Thanks! M
hi like watching your chanel , very precise and informative and well presented , i hope you can help me as the local garages dont seam to be able to , , i get code p1631 twice and p0100 on an opel corsa c 1.7dti . the only info i managed till today has to do with the anti theft system and air mass (maf) , but the car has never refused to start or cut out , sometimes it will lose power and turn on the spaner light and i lose power for a minute other times it makes no difference and the car will run ok ... had the key checked and the chip is good ...I'm stomped on how to fix this problem , many thanks and keep uploading these informative videos ...top work ...
Hi
The P0100 is referring to the MAF... you might have a MAF that is starting to fail...
But check the intake for carbon build up... clean if needed... that can restrict the air flow, giving faults for the MAF...
As for the P1631, change you fuel filter, if you haven't done it recently...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs Thank-you for your time in responding to me ... have done as you say already ,now i am going to get a new Bosch MAF and see if that revolves the issue , again many thanks for your feedback ... keep up the good work ...um grande abraco da madeira ...
Yes... get genuine parts when it comes to sensors etc...
Abraço!
I have 6 pins broken on my ecu opel corsa c 1.7 i got another ecu just the ecu on its own how can it be programmed
Hi
You need the pin from the second hand ecu to reset it, (unless you bought it already reseted...)
Then with the pin from the car, go to the immobiliser system and install it...
Same as on this video...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs what about those broken pins can they be repaired cheers
Broken pins?
On the ecu plug?
@@LMAutoRepairs yeah on the corner 4 pins completely broken
You will need to open the ecu and either replace the broken pins, or wire them directly to the outside...
👍👍👍
is it ok if i buy a non-reset ecu with manual transmission then plug it to my car then program it to automatic?
Michael Loay
Hi
That will be just fine... but if you buy a ecu not reset, you either need the code for it or having how to get hold of it...
hi. do you know why i cant go to program variant?
Michael Loay
Perhaps the software version...
Do you get any errors?
lmsvvavr its saying i find the file at variant folder. something like that
hey m8 nice vid what program was that

Thank you for your comment!
Good video i have astra g 1.6 16v and the pedal gas ehen i push just 2500rpm not more what is the problem
Hi
I am not a wizard... Lol
Scan the car and go from there...
Thank you for watching!
I thing the problem is throtle body it repair or change
@@rilindhaliti4121
I don't like to proceed spend money on parts, based on "I think"...
It can become very expensive, very quick, when you start to throw parts to a car based on guesses... but it is your money... Lol
I would have it diagnosed first...
Or get yourself an Op-com...
it makes me doubt because it seems pretty good sometimes it shows the problem the same as it happens in a very short time the kir is getting good and still interrupts

Hi
Great video but I need a little help with something.
I have a 2012 Mariva with fault ECU (AC Delco), nobody it seems can repair this make.
I was gonna buy a used one for £200 from eBay fit it to the car and get the car pass, erase it and do the swap that way.
My problem is when diagnosing the original ECU I couldn't get the measuring blocks up and do other certain things.
Is this a limitation of op- com on this brand and will carprog work also if I buy one.
Thanks
Wayne
Also I have a bet with my friend that you eating a fruit pastel in this video but I think it's a toffee! Lol
Any help would be appreciated.
Wayne Jones
😂😂😂😂
I was halls... the original!
I was with a really sore throat... I shouldn't have record this video... but did not wanted to loose the opportunity...
Which version of Op-com are you using?
If you have the car pass, just get the ecu already reset... and you should be ok...
Otherwise, you need to reset the replacement ecu... not sure if carprog can do it... not without check...
Hope that helps.
Thank you for watching!
LM Auto Repairs
Thanks for replying, Op-com version is 1.95. My fear is that op-com won't read this replacement AC Delco ECU and carprog either.
Vauxhall won't swap it if it's not erased as you probable know..
I was just wondering if you have read this type ECU with Op-com?
It's off a 2012 Merida 1700 diesel.
Cylinder 2 open circuit, Common fault apparently. I sent it for repair but multi layer PCB faulty between layers.
Wayne Jones
Never done that one... so can't really say a lot...
But from eBay, can you not find one ecu already reset?
That would save you some headaches...
To program the replacement ecu, you do it through the immobilizer... not the ecu itself...
No, I'm assuming they're coming from a breaker and there's not many out there.
I've just bought carprog to give it a try, I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for your help.
hello. after I programmed the immobilser it says successful. but the blinking light doesn't disappear
Hi
What fault codes do you still have?
You might have a fault elsewhere...
Thank you for watching!
LM Auto Repairs hi it is saying wrong vehicle id from body control module. and wrong vehicle id from instrument control module
Ok...
Watch this video then.... czcams.com/video/70mteUUUzjg/video.html
The procedure is very similar...
Hope that helps!
LM Auto Repairs damn I check your other video . thanks. but when I try to reset the cluster it doesn't let me do it . doesn't come up with the ok .
You need to do the modules in a certain order...
If that fails, try a different version of Op-com, and perhaps a different firmware...
Honestly it's frustrating when the OPEL Astra 1.6 Electronic system CARD fails you...pls fan someone supply me the card?
Hi
What do you mean?
What are you trying to do?
best video ever on Opel cars...pls help with a problem..i have a Opel Corsa C, engine code Z10XEP, and the ECU has failed..i bought a new one but on this car it needs the IPC to be reset..the problem is that when i try to connect the Opcom to the IPC the connection is unstable..is reads the IPC only 1 second at most and i can't reset it or even retrieve de Security Key..help please
Hi
That's weird... do you connect of with all the other modules?
It could be that you might have a issue with op-com, or something on the communication line with the ipc...
Do you have the option to try other tool?
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
@@LMAutoRepairs thanks for your response...with my OpCom firmware version 1.45 i can connect to all other ECU's of the car..at the same time i have no problems with my OpCom on any other vauxhall or opel cars..expect this Corsa C..also someone told me that this problem occurs only on Corsa C cars and only on the IPC..and that the solution is using a 1.39 firmware version..do you know something about this?
@@andreiandy2400
Yes... that's however I have two Opcoms... with different firmware...
But you can flash your back...
Put 1.39 and see what happens...

I have acceleration problem with my Astra G 1.6 Petrol.
When I turn on the Engine, l have to Wait 5 minutes to start Driving, cuse if l start Driving.
And accelerate, the car dont Pull.
What is the Problem!?.
Hi
You say the car does not pull, but does the engine responds to the accelerator?
Have you scanned the car?
Thank you for watching!
LM Auto Repairs
Yes doesn't responds to acceleration!
I have to wait for 5 min every time,
Beafore l run the Car, then it Runs okay.
So what is the Problem.
Or
Hvat l have to do with the Car!?.
Thank you.
Hi
I would first check for codes, then check on live data if the pedal is responding straight from the beginning and the engine is not, or if is the pedal that only starts to respond after that time elapsed...
But, because you are saying that the car runs just fine afterwards, it can be a ecu problem...
The proved being the case, I would try a software update, or you can try to have it replaced...
Hope that helps.
LM Auto Repairs
Hi there.
I did Check my Opel Astra with computer at the car Service.
And they told me that l must replace ECU, with new One.
How much it Cost?.
Ilir Krasniqi
You can source a second hand one...
Will be cheaper...
Look on eBay for example... that will give a rough idea of how much it will cost...

Hi I have a astra 2001 8.1 it goes into limp mode how do I fix that?
Jade Turner Bennett
Hi
First you need to figure out why is going into limp mode.
Have you scanned the car?
yes its stated the mass airflow sensor so i tried to clean the sensor with the crc cleaner especially for it still no luck im guessing i have to replace it.
thankyou for your quick reply btw
Check connections and wiring... just in case...
But it looks like if the cleaning did not resolve it, you need indeed to replace it.
ill check the wiring to eliminate that too.....then get my wallet out and grab a new one ...love your youtube channel totally helps im a female and doing the work myself lol thanks heaps
Hi, i am going to replace my ecu also with a used part i got from a donor car. The donor ecu is not reset, but i have the security code for both the old and new ecu. How is the programming process then? I dont have the immobilizer or the keys from the donor car so i was hoping i could program the old ones with the new ecu. Thanks for great video btw :D
Hi
Thank you for watching.
If you have the code from the donor car, just plug that ecu in the car, with the code from that ecu perform a reset.
Then program everything again using the code from your car.
Hope it makes sense...
+lmsvvavr I going to try it in the weekend, but how about the keys? will i still be able to use the old ones? with the central locking also?
+Jørgen Fone Pedersen yep...

+lmsvvavr okay, thanks for the guide :D
Astra G has a different software for an automatic gearbox car. Although an manual transmission ecu allows auto box coding, the software differs.
Hi, I've just bought OP-COM and noticed that my Astra-G Mk4 1.6 8v X16SZR has the Transmission Coding set to Automatic Transmission when it is in fact a Manual. Will I need to update the ECU to correct this and do I need to know a whole bunch of parameter settings to do this? Or can I just reset the ECU and it will sort it out. Any help please?
If you touch reset ecu function, bye bye start engine. What you don't know, don't touch. I wouldn't trust opcom at all for config readout. MT or AT coding, post ecu ID and software version.
Got similar advice through the Vauxhall owners forum. Suspect my model is so old the transmission coding is not programmable so will leave well alone. Screen shots are in attached link if you have access and are interested but I going to forget this for now. Many thanks for your reply.

Hello, I have 2007 Opel Corsa 1.2 with ECU problem. My ECU part number is
0261208940. I can't find another used ECU with same part number. But I
found 2008 Corsa 1.2 ECU with part number 0261208253. Last three digits
are different. Would it fit my car?
Hi
If is coming from a donor with the same engine code, I would say yes...
Best way is to find which part numbers have superceded yours.... try the dealer.... they can be helpful sometimes...
Thanks
hi how much Xprog ?im also working mechanic i wana buy that thnxx
Hi
As you be or not aware, some of the China carprog have a few flaws. ..
and cause you never know which one you are going to get....
I bought my one from a trusted seller, on well know auction website, he modify them and test them prior to sell, not just the unit, but some of the cables as well, so you are guaranteed to get a reliable carprog.
I paid around £150.

Hello, my friend .. I have a problem with an opel astra G year 2004 motor 1.8, this vehicle presents a problem that does not accelerate and has the turn on the engine wrench light and light, put scanner and throw the dtc P1120 and P0120 , Test the accelerator pedal sensor and the electronic throttle body and these are in good condition. Checking the input and output signals of the accelerator pedal sensor, I could verify that one of the 5 volt reference voltage of the APP 1 is 0 volts and the APP 2 is 5.01 volts, I assume that the problem May be the ECU. Similarly to TPS 1, the reference voltage of 5 volts in one is 0 volts and the other 5 volts. I am almost sure that the problem is the ECU, I am right ..?, I hope your good comments and advice .. Greetings from Venezuela.
angel navarro
Hi
It looks that you have done all the tests, and you are in the right direction...
to test it even further, you can jump the 5v reference that still working, to the app where the 5v are missing... if the problem is the 5v reference missing from the ECU, when you do this, the codes just go away... as you will have the app with the two 5v reference...
If you verify the above, then is possible that the ECU is at fault... but check connectors and wiring before assume that.
Hope that the above makes sensor to you...
Thank you for watching!
OK thanks.
Now. Why does the TPS 1 also have 0 volts at its reference voltage ..? . It has to do with the APP1 has 0 volts in its reference voltage too ..?
The TPS1 works directly with the APP1 and the TPS2 works directly with the APP2 ..?
angel navarro
That's how it should work... each position sensor will have a separate voltage reference...
Now if you have one missing, you can just test by use the one that still working to feed the one that is missing...
Ok, then, I happen to have TPS 1 and APP 1 not have reference voltage. ?
Astra H 2007 z17dth P1120-P1122 accelerator pedal ratio not correct its intermittent i cant get it to do anymore from your experience whats wrong!!
armando nika
Hi
Have you measured the pedal output?
+lmsvvavr 1 volt app 1 and 0.5 app 2
+armando nika when the fault occurs the app 1 signal voltage becomes 0.5 volts so im checking the 5v ref and the signal to catch it but its not happening anymore 😔
armando nika
Intermittent faults... I hate them... lol
+lmsvvavr ahhahahah me too man, do you have hangouts or something where i can write to you?
I have seen the voltage decrease so if it is must be a 5v ref issue and not a ground othervise i would have a raise at the signal voltage when the fault occurs, im i right?
I live in victoria australia
Almost no video how to change the ECu or everybody trim that part.

Hello
know how security code astra G using OPCOM device and reset ECU which security code
Hi
OP-COM does not retrieve security code...
It does require the security to do immobiliser and some coding functions, to get the security code there is other tools and techniques to to achieve it.
(watch my other videos and read the comments...)
any device used to read security code opel sk900 do this operation thank you in advance
any device used to read security code opel GM MDI do this operation thank you in advance
CAN you give me your email
+Med téchnicien
I do not have GM MDI, although I don't think it can retrieve the pin either...
Unless you connect to GM server, but obviously you need an account for that....
There is some dedicated tools for immo and pin functions... Google will be able to help you...
But for example, car prog is a tool to have if you do opel/Vauxhalls...
are you in uk ?

The video is SO bad. You have to use a steadicam. You knowledge is very good. But you story is incoherent. The telling is chaotic.
Overall there is so much room for improvement. Most people think they can make a video for large ordion.
The truth is bad video will not appealing to watch. A tip is to watch youtubers. They have a very good recording and telling method. Thats is why they are so popular. Keep up the good works.
True...
When you were born, did you started walk straight away?
NO... you learned and improved over time...
