Vauxhall Astra H reset and reprogram engine ECU 

why we need to reset the old ecu ? thank you for the helpfull videos

Great video on this subject. and clear instructions of how to use OpCom would be nice to see how you reset the controller ECU in the boot of the Astra H Twin top 2009

Brilliant, got the Opcom with no instruction on how to use it. This guide was perfect, saved me lots of money getting someone to change the ECU for me and the satisfaction of doing it myself. Best youtube guide ever. Many many thanks.

You are my hero !!! Good job i have test this process on my zafira B 2006. It starts Thanks you very much ;)

Dziekuje bardzo mi to pomogło. Co około 2 lata sterownik gazu psuje ecu i musze to robić a nigdy tego nie pamiętam jak to się robi Pozdrawiam z polski

Looks decent, the only thing missing is instruction how you obtain a security code. Love Your videos, cheers.

What is the software your using please

Very helpful,, bought a cheap none runner (dead ecu) got cheap reset ecu off ebay, paired as said 8n the video and job done :) cheers guys

you sir saved me ££££ going to main dealer fixed reprogrammed and working fine nice one

My customers car. Turn ignition and on crank blower relay in under hood electrical centre clicks. No crank from starter. Wonder how the wires cross to do that. Git ista d and mercedes dealer level software now. Exciting. Good video

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with ignorant people in this field. I wonder if I can get your opinion also... Astra H 1.9 cdti engine light appeared one day and car went very slow. I checked codes and we're related with egr valve. Took it off, cleaned it, placed it back on (didn't connect the plug for educational purpose). Engine started normally and died after 2 seconds. It never started again plugged in or off. Cranking sounded different, much weaker like if an electronic device was preventing it to work properly. Found a similar problem online which was resolved by switching off the battery for 30 min. After doing the same, engine never cranked again. Spanner light is on and fuel pump relay is clicking like crazy with fuel pump doing some noise too. If egr plug is disconnected, the relay is quiet and also the pump but nothing happens either. Tried other relays, same situation. I've got the op com now. Maybe the immobilizer is on? Thank you

This man is a awesome. Thank you for a very informative video.

Hello I'm having the exact problem with my astra and have been told new ecu can you give me advice on who to use please I'm in Birmingham and how much for someone like yourself to do it..Thank you

Köszönöm a hasznos információkat!

Good to see how easy it is to put another already ecu in. My question is this.. do you not need to change the vin number and do the aircon, cruise etc?

good video, as always. if you could help me wit a sugestion... astra h 1.7 cdti ocassionaly lights up "car with spaner" ligt, and goes to safe mod, and if left idling, after a few seconds goes back to normal. if accelerator pedal is kept pressed than never returns to normal. live data says that boost presure goes to max(307 kPa) but MAP sensor voltage stays normal at 2,03 volts. any thougts? thank you

I had problem starting the car astra H , changed the crankshaft sensor all the codes were cleared, car started without any problems for an hour and k now it gone back to same problem with new codes..

Hi, I have bought a second hand ecu that I don’t have the code for and has not been reset. I have the pin code for the car but this is not allowing me to do anything. Help? How do I reprogram the new ecu, or clear the code from it? Thank you.

Hi there I have a problem with my Vauxhall’s zafira 1.9 CDti I keep getting ecn code 060631 but can’t find any we’re what this code relate to I would appreciate any ideas thank you

I have a question, When you put a second hand ECU in the car do you also need to put the milage of the old ECU in to the second hand ECU? At the moment I’m going to change my ECU on my Opel Astra G (ECU Delphi 12214860)

Hello my dear friend. Wud you plz tell how /with what softwares /Tools... I can do Vauxhals specially insignia Ecu jobs? For example we bought used radio so how to reprogramm it so it works with ecu? Or how to reprogramm other moduals? I have mdi opel but goes only until 2012. My vehicles from 2014 - 2017 And i really need your help as there are few cars stock in my yard. Thanks a lot. I also have kess master and some other tools.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO, IT'S VERY HELPFUL I APPRECIATE VIDEOS THAT TRULY TEACHES YOU SOMETHING. IS VAUXHALL A FORM OF CHEVROLET AND THANKS AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!

if i dont have the pin of the new ECU, Is it possible to change the immobilizer and ecu and key chip, or even that I must reprogram everything,

After re allignment to the car, will the pincode of the new ecu be adjusted / relearned to the one of the car or will you always need the pincode from the donor vehicle for future resets and security access if needed

Worth updating all the software too if your replacing the ECU. Just so it has the latest Firmware.

Hi mate thank you so much for your response it helped me alot keep the amazing videos coming mate and once thank you

How can I just turn it off check engine light?I have the same diagnosis.

Hello, thanks for the video, I was wondering if you could help me with a error code since my abs module have been replaced with a s.h. one. Yaw sensor longitudinal C0287-00, I also changed the sensor but still the error the abs and esp lights are off. I think the esp is turned off by the abs module

Hi, enjoyed the easy to follow clip. Thankyou. Issue: I have a Corsa VXR and need to replace the existing ECU which has been remapped and have it replaced with a non remapped donor Corsa VXR ECU. The reason being is that the car failed an MOT on emissions with the remapped ECU so, i have been advised by a few mechanics that the lambda and catalytic converter are all in working order and that the easiest way to try and resolved the emissions issue is to install a donor non remapped ECU. Question: Can the one car key be programmed to operate both the remapped and standard ECU (to allow alternating between ECU's) or does each ECU require individual key transponder programming? I guess what i am asking is can i swap ECU's as a plug and play after programming and use the one car key?

Hi Thanks for the video which worked like a dream on a Vauxhall Astra H. im just wondering is the procedure same to program vauxhall zafira 1.9tdi 2007 model.

Very nice video. Like the rest of yours. You have done enormous amount of work, with all these videos. We are obliged to you sir. I start studying your videos. It is a real school. I also saw the other video, about how to program the CAN and Variant configuration. But I wonder. Is it enough? Should we look also in the: 1. Program High Speed CAN Bus Configuration 2. Program Mid Speed CAN Bus Configuration 3. Program Low Speed CAN Bus Configuration And what about Steering input sensitivity? What do you think?

Hi a little help… do you need to reset the current ECU in order to programme the new one?

Hi my vauxhall zafira 1.6 57 plate ecu is faulty and I am changing ecu fuse box and clock cluster and ignition will I need to reset my immobiliser thanks ..........kevi

Hello how can i reprogramme a fuel pump on 1.7 cdti meriva please

Hello buddy. I have a question. My Astra H 2008 z20ler has a code P0621. The engine doesn't start. I have repaired the charger. The engine was working very well nonetheless at the time eliminate of the cables in battery the engine stops. Since this moment the p0621 is available. Do you know if the ecu internally is damaged? we take off cables at the time the engine is running the engine stops and after that the code is available the engine doesn't start.

Hi lm I got problem with my Opel Astra h 1.6 2007 car starts and cut off sometime when ob2 scanner connected just goes off and loose communication could that be my faulty ecu?

GREAT JOBE

I bought carprog and try to use it on a Astra H,... But problem is: "Could not send CAN kwp frame",... Maybe you know a solution?

how can i read the pincode from ecu.. ? please..

How do I fix my fuel Gauge it just show 1/4 full it don't say more or less

Hi mate, yours is a very clear and informative video. I have a a similar Astra H with dead CIM and ECU and other DTCs. Instead of taking it to auto electrician I bought exactly same hail damage Astra which is a total loss which drives pretty well to use as a donor car. I have got Autel Maxi Syd Pro scanner too. Just in case. My plan is to swap the ECU, CIM, REC, UEC and use the key from the donor car. Is there anything else apart from above parts that I have to swap to get the car running? I assume that no programming will be required if all the paired devices are swapped from the donor car. Your expert input will be highly appreciated. Thanks

My ECU from the throttle body is broken... what i should do ? If a buy a new one

I own opel astra h 2004 z16xep and the engine turns off when stop ain traffic lights an when i change from 2nd or 1st gear to neutral .. Do you know why?

Hello - I have watched so many of your videos as no one else on RU-vid or the net seems to understand a specific issue I have faced for 3 weeks now. P0606 ECM code on a K12 Micra DCI. Any ideas where to start, I checked most of the wires to the ECM but I dnt want to strip all the looms to look for shorts. Do you think a faulty sensor like the crank or cam will trigger the code or its a genuine short somewhere that I must look really hard to find. Trying to narrow the issue down. Greetings from South Africa

Hi, thanks for your videos it helps alot, i have Vectra c 2.2 Petrol if i reset the ECU with maxisys MS908P can i programe it again with my scan tool?

Hi ! I have a Astra H 2007 and my engine stops on changing back to 2nd gear ! Also my door lock is not working for 2 of my doors ! Last time i went to service to install a subwoofer, and they connected the diagnostic port idk for what ! But since then my engine pass the 2nd gear when i accelerate and when is comming back to 2nd engine stops ! Can i get a little guidance with it ? Can it be a faulty software on it ?

I have a zafira b 2006 and I cannot program key on any of my machines what am I doing wrong ?

Hi! I bought a second hand ecu from scrap yard, not reseted. How can i reset it and were i can find security code if that car doesn't have carpass?

Hi mousa Ali any idea how I can blank a secondhand Ecu I’ve bought of eBay I’ve retrieved security code from my instrument cluster.but replacement Ecu has wrong code in any hides how to get it blanked or reset as can’t find any others already blanked of same part number thanks sean

So it pairs new ECU by going through the CIM? Like it will transmit all information with your security code etc? you only need new ecu's security if they forgot to reset when removing?

I didnt know that but ive had them all on a live feed and they seem to be working the egr is working on the live feed so im going to sort the wasge gate on the turbo and if still no boost going to the egr

One unrelated question: Do you know on what temperature that z16xep engine works?

Hey dude, to program the immobiliser do I need to use the original ecus security code? I reset the donar ecu but it says security code not accepted when I try to reprogram.

very good my brother

hi. Immo is on in my 2006 astra h 1.3 vehicle. I cant enter with opcom. original ecu was already burned. Error codes p1614 p0603 and p0001 are coming up. Can I reset by inserting the new ecu? Because I think eprom software is bad in the original ecu. How should I do the coding?

Which tool did you used for the programming

Hi I have ohter car ECU to my insignia 2.0cdti 2011. The same details. Need the same process programming??

Hello Buddy @LM Auto Repairs, I have problem with my Astra H, always i see the fault codes like P1616-CIM(wrong enviroment identifier) and P1614 (Wrong transpoder key), i have the opcom from our friends from east. The problem is with closing the doors, when i put the key on start, it works fine, when i turn on engine and turn it off, the central lock doesn't work, one solution to repair this to the next start is unpin the battery.. Do you have any solution, should i restart my ECU ?

Hi. Thanks for the video. Very educational since I just bought an Astra H and I want to reset the ECU. Now I don't find anywhere any tutorial to how to enable the OPC/VXR Scan (needle sweep). Since you are clearly more experienced with the OPCOM, do you know if it would be possible to do that with the OPCOM and if yes, can you tell us how or make a video please? Thanks a lot and sorry for the bother

I have a vectra C 1.6 16V petrol... My car goes into limp mode and on the computer it shows P0120 and P0220 codes. I changed the throttle, same issue, i changed the pedal, still not fixed. Tommorow im replacing the engine ECU, hopefully im done with the issues

I need help..i wash the engine vehicle and the water get inside the ecu model..My code are p1120-8 accelerator pedal position sensor 1-2 correlation..P1122-8 accelerator pedal positon sensor 1-2 correlation and P0335-4 no engine Rpm singal..i have a scan tool autel maxysys ultra..how to add a new ecu..thanks a lot

do i need both pin codes for both ecu's ??? or the one stored in the REC is enough ??

Hi there would the ecu reset function , reset the ecu back to a standard map if the ecu had been remapped ? Recently purchased a car and wanted to put ecu back to standard. Thanks for your help

How did you know the security code ?Is it a security code of the ecus car , or of the programe you are using ?

Thanks for the video!

Why do u need to reset or deprogram the damaged ecu when u gonna replace it anyway for another one ?

great video i take its same procedure to the cim or is it a different procedure and do you have deleat the unit from donor vehicle is this a must procedure before removal thank you

I read the other comments and saw my answer.

Thank you so much for this video

Excellent video really helpful Thanks!!!!!!

After changing the ecu. cim. both fuse boxes and abs pump everything is good apart from the interior fan speed/rear screen demister/ac doesn't work. The fan direction works as can hear the flaps changing as thats electronic and the light around the bezel comes on with headlights so it's not a power issue. Is this a ecu thing as checked all fuses and changed all the relevant relays. Thanks

opel astra h z16xep 05 ecu mt35 foult code p1550 and p1600 walk into limp mode when it gets hot when I turn off the engine so sometimes I can not start the car and sometimes the light goes out but turns on later is the ecu broken or what do you think

My Opel Astra H 1.6 twinport 2006 model , does not start, I put in the key it starts and shuts down immediately Please help, what could be the cause of this problem

I have a vauxhall h 1.6 easytronic. There are 2 dashes on the display and the car doesn't start. I also got the code 1700 when I did the pedal test. What can I do?

hello thx for video again.. so if an ecu is dead first reset it with your pin.. then install the second hand and with carprog get the pin and again reset it. after that reprogram the second hand ecu with your fail ecu pin? is that right? the thing is why on ebay they sell ecus with key dash and sterring? do i have to change all these with ecu? thx for your time man.

Hi , i have V astra H 1.6 2005 , z16xep , and sometimes when i try to start, nothing happens and is telling me all 4 injectors are open circuit , and immo is blinking, if i will take the key of and i give another shot the car will start. Can you help me please?

I lost my car pass and I have this program you know if can find my code ? Thanks.

Hi how can I get the fuel mileage on display so I know how many miles I have left

Hi, Thanks for this nice video. I am planning to replace ECU on my Holden Astra Twintop 2007. I believe I can follow the same procedure. Can you please tell me which model of OBD connector and software you have used? Thanks again

Does resetting/divorcing the ecu reset/divorce the the instrument cluster as well at the same time

Hi I've got similar problems with my car keep up coming wrong key transponder cim module and spanner light flashes what is the way around the problem driving me nut it intermittent fault

HI i have the problem of U 2106-70 CAN-Bus no Communication with Transmission Control Module C-003 with the same car in the video, which is holden astra 2005 hatch if anyone knows how to fix this type of problem

Very interesting video. Will it still work if the replacement ECU hasn't been reset.

what happens if you take relays out of BCM in corsa 2005 sxi but not the main ECU, does that messes everything up even if the battery's out? Done that with my corsa and it wont start, drains all the power from the battery too... help?

well are you reset and reprogram the same ecu, right?

What do you do if the new second hand ECU has not been reset before it was removed from the old car? Also what if the second hand ECU does not come with the security code?

So, you're still using the security code from the original, defect ECU (ie. that came from factory with the car you're sitting in now), even when the ECU in the car has been replaced and the actual one is now from another car (which obviously had a different security code originally)? You don't have to use the security code from the new ECU, but that of the old one?

I had a open Astra H water damage the pins on the ECU , what's the solution

My rear view mirror defroster is constantly always on and cannot turn it off: only when the key is taken out of the car. Any ideas what it could be? Also, I’ve also tried fitting in a stereo so I’m assuming maybe wiring issue?

can you link to a trusty opcom unit? I bought 2 already but they seem rubbish

hello how are you ? In my car that sign of the car and the key appeared, a mechanic saw it but he says that it is a major electrical problem that they have to check. what do you think about that? is a Holden Astra 2007 twin top . I would like you advice please

Hi there. If I put a used cluster in a 08 1.7 Astra H what coding as to be carried out with op com. I have pin code. The cluster was reset with tech 2 before removal from previous car. Thanks

Hi I know this is an old video but I just bought a Astra h convertible from 2008 with no power on dashboard, locked trunk, and roof not working, so it's either the wire or plugs in the trunk, or a faulty ecu? At least that's what I assume car should arrive tommorow and I really want to get this fixed for personal use, any tips where to start looking, and what specifically?

nice video and good information and thank you but i would like know which program you used and where can i get this program

I really love u a lot man, ty very much.....

Hi is the pass code saved in the ecu or body control module?

I've bought an ECU and have done the programming properly although it didn't cure the problem I have. The fault code from the ECU is P0560 -System Voltage Malfunction, (08) - Present The car refuses to start and the fuel pump doesn't seem to get any power. All relays checked. Also when I put a direct wire on the fuel pump it runs fine and the engine starts although, gas pedal and steering wheel doesn't work. I've got a Opel Corsa C 2002 1.0 12V. Any help would be appreciated.
