Vauxhall-Opel Corsa D 1.2 not starting after flat battery... Immobiliser faults and programming. 

This video may be boring to someone who does not do this professionally. They expect to see short instructional video like 'do this, press that...' But in realitty, things often get complicated and that,s why videos like this are pure gold.

Absolute legend! Was not looking forward to a £££ bill from the auto electrician so bought opcom from eBay and followed your video and boom! Fired up straight away! 👌 Thank you again brother

Thank you for the instructional video, thanks to it I was able to start the Corsa D 1.4 XEP without spending a lot of money with the same fault, a little click and the car works again. Thank you again. Greetings from Poland

Thankyou, followed this tutorial and it works 100 percent. My vauxcon was just sat there getting dusty but so glad I had it to hand. Great tutorial!!

Big important thank you to LMautos. Finally got my Corsa d fixed without any new parts exactly as you said. Two of the first three mechanics were highly miss leading threatening massive bills and long term off road. The third one was not correct either. Only believing in LMautos led to get in a fourth opinion and it worked out correct. This problem is a minefield for non mechanically minded car owners.

Thanks for the video! It helped me. Of course, it didn't work immediately after the instructions that the author of the video, but the direction was the right one.

the funny is that i had this problem yesterday , but what i did is :unplug ECU socket and plug it back , then erase the fault code , and the car run. the ECU freeze on opel cars when flat battery. maybe next time unplug the ECU that might work for u . thanks for the video i learn every time a new thing from you sir.

Great video helped me out after I bought a non running corsa watched video 3 or 4 times and followed step by step and bingo started no problems

You're a star ..the only video or blog that would solve my issue

Great vid I've come across this fault multiple times in the past after a flat or faulty battery on petrol corsa d (never a diesel) if you were to scan the vehicle with tech2 on the dtc's relating to the wrong environment identifier there would be a message saying refer to service bulletin 2522 if I remember correctly telling you to reset the BCM and reprogram it with there new More robust version of software then carry out configuration of module, immobiliser function and keys and all's good again. Keep up the good work 👍

Thanks boss I fixed mine by following your video

Original battery 👎 these seem particularly susceptible to corruption with even the slightest low voltage. As always spot on video!

Great video fixed many of these by resetting ipc clocks and sdm airbag and bcm body control module and reprogramming and reading and deleting codes sometimes it does appear to come back which requires bcm software update to permanently fix it but not all years can have this done mainly older models

Disconnect negative battery terminal then touch it to the live for 15 seconds then reconnect negative terminal then car will start Thank me later It worked for me and none of these half hour vids to contend with

well done Luis people seem to forget you work too jobs and are burning the candle at both ends i would put that down to tiredness i would say the autel would have done it two if you selected the right program. good job you got it fixed in the end that,s all that matters. thanks for sharing

This video made me some good money thanks keep them coming 💪🏾💪🏾

Crazy man well done, yes we learned,as always.enjoyed.

Hi, this is a common problem with Corsa D if the battery goes flat slowly or the starter motor chatters. All you need to do is reset the BCM and then reprogram it. Regards Bob Oxford Vehicle Electronics

With MaxiSys You just needed go to programming and then "Programming transponder-key". You enter PIN and vuolia :) 1 minute job. Anyway, allways super videos and I watch it with cofee! Keep going!

I have the exact same issue. Thank you so much.

You could get the same after removing the battery clamp. And after 40 engine starts, the error will appear again. In my Opel Meriva I have this fault for half a year. Services OPEl pointed to the BCM module. I waited half a year to replace the module

Sitting there frantically scrolling through the special functions in each module...this is the life 😂

I have done this repair many times. There is no need to reset engine or IPC. Just reset the BCM, Then reprogram the bcm and select BCM installed. Will reprogram the keys and all good.

Thanks man!!! From Siberia

Excellent amount of information Keep it Up

To prevent this problem from happening again, you need to update the BCM software to an Opel/Vauxhall dealer.

Love your process and you!!! Great job!

Very good video

Great video man!Nice work,well done👍🏻

I like your work so much thanks

Yes you could have done it with the Maxisys but you went way too quick but I must say that with the OP com it looks less overwhelming . But you got it fixed alright and that's what matters . great Job again

Common problem on older BCM-Modules. BCM-Module looses configuration data after flat battery (software fault).

Super film i pracy trochę było. Pozdrawiam

What i would have done is first a global scan with a tool that can pull all correct codes like opcom or the GM-tech-2 as that flashing light as far as i know also flashes for automatic transmission faults. Like the implausible torque converter speed codes i had in transmission set by faulty ignition module... on astra z18-xe . That is all i can add for extra tip. Best to always run global scan with a factory level scanner first if possible.

Thanks a lot for this tuto, works perfectly for me.

Hello LMauto, bought you a coffee but feel it is not enough for your priceless video here. Would like to send you one of my Unbreakable Pens in Oak or Mahogany for your Unbreakable intelligence. If you want one let me know which wood and your name and postal address. Keyboard arrived and laptop working so just waiting for the arrival of op com. Thanks for the knowledge and the encouragement.

Great videos i get education here thanks

Thank you for another great video!!!

great job as always

Great video once again

Thanks another great video like the programming video with aftermarket software

Thanks for sharing Bro👍 Very helpful video, would Love to see the process performed with MaxiSys, maybe in near future😉

excelente amigo ya subire el mio

Man your videos its useful 👍

Hoping i can get a question answered quite quickly, good video! Doing self repair fix on my vauxhall corsa d sxi 2008 plate, most likely the passenger door or just the constant closing and opening doors in the car for tools, as self repairing … i noticed the light in the interior of the car stopped coming on, went back to it 5 mins later noticing just the mini screen of the dashboard which is a clock and radio light illuminating, my question is i know i have an imobilliser in my car, and apparently my car has battery discharge protection, now how do i charge my battery as apparently jump starting my model of car seems to trigger mobilliser from based research, the car will not turn on, no light on dashboard at all, does my car have a safety feature to prevent my battery from going completely flat ? I dont want to trigger mobilliser .. any answers thanks Side note: my cars mobilliser triggered few weeks ago, and my car was reprogrammed, so does this prevent this issue fron happening again

Well done. Enjoyed watching. Lot of work though.

Great tutorial!!! I tried to repair my Corsa D with the same problem, by following the exact steps, but unfortunately, I stumbbled at connecting the IPC and ECU. I can't get in the IPC modul to do the programming. The error message in the lower left corner says: ECU doesn't respond... What should I be looking for? To check installation? Fuses.... I saw somewhere that the SDM (or airbag ECU) can be defective (it is under the gear lever where accidentally you can spill some liquid kept in the cup tray ), and that's for the false information about ECU doesn't respond. Thanks for replying

Just had a 2019 dodge do the same thing .locking and unlocking drivers door with key fix it .

güzel ders oldu benim için

I got my 2004 vecrta c (immo error) can't start with simular problem followed the steps but on a little different vauxcom and it's started without any faultcode ( my car doesn't like the crouse control)

I think my car needs this done, just curious what a typical garage would charge to fix this issue? I don't want to get screwed over something I think I could probably do myself given I had the software and cables. Thanks in advance. :)

I have an Opel Corsa gamma site porket 1.4 model 2007 have a problem of starting and it's cranking

it is cool to see that corsa comes back to the life again. i have one which starts and dies almost immediately, could it be the same problem? its an 07 1,3 diesel

Good work

Hello. May i ask you how much do you charge for a work like this? Thanks !👍😊

I have ever start whit reset bcm and reset IPC. Installed new body+ecm in opcom. Tomorrow have a corsa D whit p1632 and p1678 p1679 replaced battery and starter. You think it's not transponder broken?

Simple fix relearn the key to the bcm Job done

Good video as always. Shame you didn't use opcom from the start as its something most people have. Also if you have this problem in the future on any Vauxhalls, something to try is to disconnect the negative battery cable and touch it to the positive terminal for a few seconds. It's a common problem on Vauxhall's when the battery has drained.

My golf 4 gt tdi is currently stranded on the drive with an active immobiliser. Can you fix it for me. I believe there's an underlying fault, because it wouldn't start even when i would crank and now it does nothing.

Great video . But where do I find the code for the key ? Is it the same as the radio code ? Which I don’t have either . Thank you

Hi my good sir,I have the same problem where are you located and how much do you charge for the job like that,my car is Opel Corsa gamma 1.4.

This has happened to me last Wednesday, was listening to music in my car, battery went flat, I left it for 5-10 minutes after trying to start it a couple times and now it doesn’t try and start at all. I’m in west London and need someone with that computer🤦‍♂️

Do you need the 4 digit security code of the car itself in order to get the ECU and BCM done?

my ecu does not reset and gives me the following error message:0x7F,0xAE,0xA4 RESET FAILED¡ WHAT MAY BE HAPPENING HERE? PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE THE OPCOM UNTIL 2021 OF FAMTONMEL

Hi Luis I have a corsa d with no crank no start wondering if you can help me. Kt14

I’ve got the same problem with my wife’s car and watching you you was a bit to fast for me to take it in I’m going to buy the op com and try to do it could i connect with you to get a bit of information on it please.

Hello my friend how are you ? Could you please let Know what version of op com are you using because my one don’t do programming

Great videos don't forget to do the key lol

awesome video, i have a TECH 2 system, however it only works up to 2010, where can i obtain the newer GM MDi software for vehicles from 2010 > to 2022 ?

Perfect 👍

Bravo

I’ve got a problem with my corsa I keep getting told different stuff, one saying reprogram ecu, one saying get new ecu kit then fix immobilser and one saying try fix immobilser first if not just sell because it can cost too much, which do you think is best ?

Hi, I have a problem with my corsa D. The problem is that I can’t correct the mileage. I have change the cluster and programmed it, but I can’t correct the mileage, could you do a video or tell me how to do? Thanks

Do you guys have any what’s-app group? Sometimes you need second opinion,please let me know 🙏

I am in South Africa my car started this after going to the car wash and we struggling to get it running I want to try your steps just wondering if resetting the ECU and BCM etc won’t make the car loose maps that’s it needs They have tried reprogramming the keys and deleting the faults on Delphi and Maxi but still nothing please advise

Great video thanks. Q what about if you don't have the code please how do you retrieve the code please or do i have to apply to main dealer . Thanks

Hi Great video mate. Thank you/=. Helped a lot. I had another corsa tho with same fault. Went the same process here with modules. Now the car starts up. The spanner light does not flash anymore but it is still present and there is an F on the dashboard. Rear brake lights are permanently on, no speedo and no fuel guage. Electric windows also not working. ECU fault now left ,U0415-00, U0121 (abs can problem)/ central locking also not enabled. drivers door locked , not opening from inside. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Possibly faulty ABS unit with water ingress but would not be the reason for tail lights, speedo, gauge and door locks.

On my Corsa utility 1.4 it show the spanner sign and it doesnt start even the central lock doesnt lock when press it from inside and remote key i must press it twice before i open the door

I had this same issue. Got told my car had to go to Vauxhall to reprogram, then suddenly a week later of just sitting there the engine starts again. Any ideas?

Hi

Another good video, but took twice as long as it should have.

Hello i have the same problem on corsa 1.4 . Where are you based?

Ive done these with the autel

Hi, please help me, I’ve got the exact same problem. This happened to me 3 hours drive from home, I was stranded with 2 kids. I’ve gotten back home and had my car towed, seems like no garages can help me, they have referred me to a Vauxhall garage who are already charging over £100 just for the investigation, that’s without even fixing it. I’m desperate to get my car fixed I’ve broken down alone with two toddlers and I can’t afford they Vauxhall prices they are trying to get every penny from me. Please help or do you know if most garages SHOULD be able to do this? Thanks

Hello please could you help. My BCM thinks the security key is wrong. It is the correct one in the cars bookpack and works when entered into other modules. Any ideas please?

Great video love seeing the Vaux com stuff! Do you have a link where I can get the same tool? :)

How much do you charge to fix this?

Had this problem. Starter chattered a few times after I had left ignition on, then car immobilized itself. First thought jump pack. No good! so charged battery. Still no crank (tested battery good). Disconnected battery for five minutes or so while I ranted about Sh**** cars. In the end out of desperation to prove plenty of amps jumped car from running vehicle & it fired straight up as if never been any different. Cars eh just when you think you know what they are all about! Lesson learnt if it shows signs of low battery stop trying to crank it And get a jump. Maybe this will work for someone else or I could have just been lucky?

Thank u so much for this great video, it really helps alot. I followed all the step and it went well until I came to IPC Programming, it does not accept the code, what could be the problem? Im from South Africa.

i was Diagnosing the opel astra-H then it's giving me this fort's code B3040 in immobilizer B3049, No Communication with Abs. does this need to be programmed

Hi there. Are you based in ashton under lyne. If so need your help. Thanks

Nice job sir I ask which software use to programming can you tell me plz

Hi Louis! You are very cleverly trained to work with Opel. A lot of these cars are next to you. Really need to reset all all the blocks? BCM and ECU is not enough? Is there a need for a reset of SDM and IPC? I look with interest, Denis!

I have same car with same symptoms but after ringing more than twenty car electricians can find none here in Brighton with op com. One also said will cost more than the value of my car to repair! What should I do wizard mechanic?

I bought an opcom to do this, and I have my car pass but it says the security code from the car pass is incorrect?

quick question how come u did not reset and program the bmc

Hi there,we had comms with Engine Ecu Which showed no security code programmed, checked all modules ipc bcm sdm which showed same faults, just before resetting i lost comms with Engine ecu on opcom anyway i reset all modules and reprogrammed ,but Ipc Bcm modules showing invalid data from bcm and security code not programmed, the motor is a Corsa D 09 1.3 z13dtj , all modules accept the s/key could no communication with engine ecu be the issue any advice would be very helpful

Hi love your videos and have helped me out a few times. I have come across a Corsa d 1.2 2008. Battery went dead like this and won’t start. Got the security that lets me in to the BCM but says wrong code for the ecu so can’t reset. It’s been scrapped now for £300 and I’m tempted to buy. They was no communication with the ICP or airbag module via opcom. Is it worth the buying for £300? Would love to talk to you about this if possible?

Sir, Opel corsa cdti 1.3, 2008 Car does not respond. Battery full. Abs, engine, service, exclamation mark, battery. Starring wheel not responding. Current mileage disappearing turning into F

I’m having the exact same problems with my car, same model, same year. Please come and fix it for me?!
