I'm smelling some serious handbag leather round here

[TheBoy]

anyone reading this thread will observe
1) the fault was the ECU contacts

Hopefully

2) the only error code that persisted indicated an issue with the ECU

Nope, that's complete utter 'dangle berries' from some random shit you've read on that there T'interweb.  The error code DOES NOT indicate an error with the ECU. EVER.  In fact, we don't even have the full error code, but wouldn't expect you to understand that.

3) your petty abuse reveals more about you that about me

For most people, I'd publically apologise if they managed to be so persistent in getting under my normally thick skin.

maybe you should get back to bending your pollen filters

Eh? That one might need explaining. When have I ever bent a pollen filter?

[omega2018]

oh dear .

yes we do have the full code, see http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=139708.0 and this was the only error code that persisted.

yes the P0650 code can indicate problems with the ecu, i can't be bothered to repost all the links just google it

this "generic doesn't apply to omegas" stuff is dangleberries, odb2 started as generic, read up on it. 

you've been a pollen filter bender all your life apparently see http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=139899.msg1813867#msg1813867

The P0650 codes indicate problems with the malfunction indicator light circuit. Really not sure how you get from there to a failed ECU, TBH.

Except that every slack jawed lazy mechanic will diagnose a faulty ECU as soon as they fail to understand what's going on. Just ignore them.

no doubt.  except in this case it was a problem with the ecu, as the error code pointed at

Here are the results of my google from OBD codes.com

"This code is a generic powertrain code. It is considered generic because it applies to all makes and models of vehicles (1996-newer), although specific repair steps may be slightly different depending on the model. This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set when the vehicle's Powertrain Control Module detects a fault with the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) electrical circuit. The MIL is commonly referred to as the "Check Engine Light" or "Service Engine Soon" light. MIL is the correct term, however. Basically what happens on some vehicles is the vehicles' PCM senses too high or low, or no voltage present through the M.I. lamp. The PCM controls the lamp by monitoring the ground circuit of the lamp and checks the voltage on that ground circuit. Note: It is normal operation for the malfunction indicator lamp to illuminate for a few seconds and then go out when the ignition is turned on or the car is started.

Nothing in there about ECU`s, in fact the first thing is says is that it ia a generic code 

[Kevin Wood]

There was nothing wrong with the ECU in this case. It was a poor connection.

this could go on forever ..  there was a fault with the ecu connections.  the error code indicated check the ecu.  read the thread

Only because you keep insisting...   

But I see that in the face of irrefutable evidence you have changed your tune from a faulty ecu to a faulty ecu connection. 

I would wager that the 0650 code is still present because the bulb has either blown or been removed...

i bet you 6 tablespoons of oil that 0650 doesn't re-appear once cleared

and some copper grease for your cats . 

and an unbent used pollen filter for filter bender boy.

and some MAF cleaner for filter bender metal dissolving contact cleaner boy.

[Doctor Gollum]

Really

Nope. Not on an Omega. As has been stated on so many occasions, if only you were receptive to understanding and learning.  In fact, I doubt on any cars. Show me a link where its been CORRECTLY diagnosed as an ECU fault on an Omega (or any euro car, as euro cars do NOT use OBDII but EOBD).

Now please stop trolling. Thanks.
