abs ecu
« on: 28 January 2011, 10:56:00 »
hello everyone i have a query i need to put my ecu on tech 2 but a couple of vauxhall dealers have said that i need my pass code but when i've put it on the tech 2 before no one's needed the pass code it seems like the dealers are trying to rip me off so would like clarification if possible   :-?

you don't need the car pass to do a tech2 and read the codes, you only need the pass if you want to program keys  :y

Guessing a bit here .. but if you know its the ABS ECU I don't think you are after a code read .. I'm guessing you are trying to bleed the ABS system, this does NOT require the passcard but does require a tech2 in order to operate all the valves to remove all the air.

Hi Mate, hows it going?  what exactly are you having done?

nothing ABS related should need the carpass to the best of my knowledge, thats only for security related work.
Unfortunately, this also gives you a clue to the operators ability  :'(

Hello I need the abs ecu reprogramming as it's a 3.2 and mine is a 3.0 and I have been told that I need the pass code but I didn't need it when I went to see the boy so I am wondering why I need it now. Any help would be good.
Thanks Paul

A local scrappy did mine when I need the reconfig, no codes needed.

£1 to 1p they have never changed the varient coding on an ABS unit before, so may be trying to be safe rather than have wasted trips, could be standard quote to everyone.

How much have they quoted?  may be better to shop around.

that I dont know...

But....when you go into the car year, it should only give the options for that year, so will know it only has a choice of 3.0 and 2.5, then auto / manual.  If it doesnt work, try going into the year of the abs ecu instead.

Whats actually occuring in the car with this one fitted?  was it from the same gearbox type?

3.2 has a different interface to a 3.0 as it supports CAN between itself ABS-Autobox-ECU.

Was the ECU part code the same as the one removed.
