wideboy1 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I have been having a engine fault light illuminate randomly and then staying on. After going to the garage and having the code read it suggested a EGR fault so replaced the EGR, it turns out after yet more garage time it's the Ecu that is faulty. The picture above shows the Ecu in question, after sending it to a specialist it seems to not be able to be fixed. My question is can I just replace with a second hand Ecu or will it need programming. And if not is there any suggestions on what to do. I'm based in the uk.

Citron Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 They will read all of the obdII codes, which should be all of the check engine lights. What the won't read is the manufacturer specific codes, which usually relate to manufacturer specific equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
