The car was running fine up untill she tryed to help a friend out by jump starting her car... the problem is she put the jump leads on the wrong way round.. </P><P>Now the picasso wont start... I got the rac out and he said she might have fryed the ECU unit. Ive taken it to a garage today to have the codes read and he said he couldnt get any codes up and that this was bad!!</P><P>Do you guys think it is the ecu thats the problem or is it something worst than that..</P><P>If i was to get a second hand ECU unit would it need programming to the car? </P><P> Thanks neilThu, 02 Sep 2010 18:26:27 GMTdelboy1077http://www.bba-reman.com/forums/FindPost99714.aspxNeil</P><P>Have you spoken to your insurance company? This is accidental damage.Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:26:27 GMTAngushttp://www.bba-reman.com/forums/FindPost99712.aspxHi</P><P>Sure..... you can send it to BBA and they'll check/repair the ECU.</P><P>My only thought was though that on a 2001 car it may be more cost efficient to replace the system from a known running vehicle.</P><P>You should pick up a complete set for around a £100</P><P>Not sure what the charges are for testing and/or repairing ECU but I think it may come to more than that.</P><P>You can always fit a new virgin ECU and have it programmed to car, but again I think you'll be talking tel. numbers !!!!</P><P>DaveThu, 02 Sep 2010 18:15:03 GMTtudorhttp://www.bba-reman.com/forums/FindPost99711.aspxHi</P><P>Thanks for reply.</P><P>Sounds like its going to cost a fortune to fix!! Is there anywhere i can take the ecu to get it looked at for a diagnostic or repair?</P><P>thanks neilThu, 02 Sep 2010 18:03:49 GMTdelboy1077http://www.bba-reman.com/forums/FindPost99710.aspxChances are that the ECU or BSI has been fried <P>Usually if you can't talk to the ECU, after such an incident, it's the ECU that's fried, but check the supply fuses too.</P><P>If your going down the road of using used parts, you'll need the ECU / BSI / Key fob.</P><P>You can change the key blade to suit original locks.</P><P>Always best to make a note of reg. no of donor vehicle for future use. ie. obtaining immo code.</P><P>You'll also need an invoice from breakers as proof of change of ECU etc. to obtain the immo code as you won't have a V5 with correct reg no. </P><P>You can always read the vin no of the donor ECU, when fitted, using a key programmer like AD100 and obtain immo code from that.</P><P>Also make sure that the vehicle you obtain the used parts from is exactly the same spec vehicle.</P><P>DaveThu, 02 Sep 2010 17:58:04 GMTtudor
