Hi
This car came to me as a no crank no start...
With the engine ECU hanging, a spare one on the drivers door storage compartment, and covered lights on the dash, was not very inspiring...
That said, after a bit of investigation, change of tools, some mumbling, etc... got there in the end!
Follow me on this video to find out what was the problem and how to resolve it!
Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions or comments put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching!

At this time of year I'm doing at least 2 or 3 a month of these. Idiots with flat batteries keep cranking and cause 90% of the problems. The other 10% is the oil pressure switch forcing oil in to the ECU and cabbaging it - that's another story. As soon as you see these codes check the VINs and ECUs present to make sure some clown hasn't been messing about. Check security wait times in each module. Reset ECU. Reset BCM. Go to immo and install both at once. Hopefully that will succeed. If not do the BCM first then the ECU. Sometimes you have to delete keys and reprogram. Mostly you have to reset and reprogram SRS and cluster. Clusters are very finicky about battery voltage. Always program with maintainer at 13v. I did one last week and everything had been reset, no ECUs present. BCM had been scrambled so I had to reflash the MCU and EEPROM. Joyous job. And the customer didn't want to put a battery on it either. Sent him in his way. He will be back and have to pay again. You can't put it where it isn't.

☺️ I do it not too often... and every time I forgot how is actually done, and need to refresh myself of the steps...🤣 Yes... low batteries causes such a mess... Thank you for watching and for your comment!

[@user-jg6vw3em9f]

Morning Luis! Sorry I’m late to the party and pleased to see that you have managed to resolve the engine ecu issue. I sincerely hope the person who initially tackled and abandoned the work watches your video and learns a vital lesson on troubleshooting and perhaps fixing an issue without incurring further costs ie a used ecu. 😊

[@LMAutoRepairs]

You're never late... ☺️ Thank you for watching and for your comment! 👍👍👍

Thanks! 👍👍👍👍

[@paulhaslam3064]

Mine does the same when turn key just a click and doesn't turn over and ive got the spanner flashing, new battery aswell but who do you get to do codes? is it any mechanic nowadays or specialist ones only

[@amarabdelli487]

Thanks for sharing

[@mohitl1697]

Looks like the common fault with the Corsa D Bcm corrupting After a flat battery. Needs reprogramming and software update to stop it happening again

[@LMAutoRepairs]

👍👍👍

[@malcolmdown9170]

Warning is probably ice /temp warning

please...just to ask you...I have a Meriva...2010...can you tell me if your scanner can be useful to check CAN BUS and codes...please thank you for you orientation and clear exposition....😊

Search my channel... I have videos using this tool on a meriva... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqXFfmdrj8ijqM0si=NuoLVx26YlmgFEnp

[@dano5952]

Thx for the video, very helpful 🙏 What kind of opcom u are using original or china version!?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Clone one... 👍👍👍

[@charlescrellin6158]

luis, what firmware version do you have on your Op-Com, I need to program a new immo key for my 2014 Vauxhall\ opal Corsa D, come across loads but they are mostly v1.99 which everyone says don't work.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

I am not sure which one I have... but I am pretty sure is not that one... 👍👍👍

What was the problem

[@krishnadhorasoo4160]

Hi louis i need your help i have a jaguar xf cranks but doesnt start has internal fault with rear bcm. Could you repair or look into this pls thanks.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Hi I am guessing you can scan the rear BCM... is that correct?

[@krishnadhorasoo4160]

@LMAutoRepairs only scanned with a autel scanner shows int fault with bcm at rear could this be causing a non start? I've ordered SSD will try reading BCM with that if I can get it working otherwise are you able to help out? Thanks.

[@krishnadhorasoo4160]

@@LMAutoRepairs how can I get in touch of I never need your services 😁

[@LMAutoRepairs]

@krishnadhorasoo4160 If there is no communications with the BCM, SSD will not do anything... Where exactly are you getting that internal fault? Are you able to communicate with the module or not?

[@krishnadhorasoo4160]

@LMAutoRepairs I'm not sure I had someone come round to diagnose it. It had fault codes u3000-49 and u1000-00. I'll have to wait when I get SSD installed to try myself

[@MrZulu0108]

Hello. Not sure if its ok to ask questions herr, but a have a strange issue. Same car as the video. In opcom when i try to reset the ecu i put in the security code and i get «incorrect Security code», but on bcm and every were else i input the same code and the code is correct. Have you had this problem before? Would really apreciate an response if you have the time 😢

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Have you checked the security time? 👍👍👍

[@MrZulu0108]

@@LMAutoRepairsSecurity wait time appears as inactive

[@MrZulu0108]

Now i disconnected the battery hoping that would do something, and Security wait time became active 😂

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Lol That was probably already active, just showing inactive for some reason... Some versions of Op-com can behave erratically on certain models... always worth try different versions... How much time is it set to?

[@simplemechanics246]

Not sure your maxisys have subscription or not but it is dead slow compared by updated and valid subscription unit. Should scan all the modules on same time and about 10-15 seconds only. No, I do not mean newer maxisys version, still old stuff. It is able to work much faster

[@LMAutoRepairs]

I am in no rush...😋 And yes, my subscription is expired... 👍👍👍

[@mynty2864]

What you do exactly ?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Reprogrammed everything... 👍👍👍

Beeping sound is normal when you take key out.

That sound is usually from a Parrot hands free

Sounds more like it... 👍👍👍

Brilliant 👏 very bad cars corsa lot of common fault on them.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Thanks! 👍👍👍

[@Vader74]

opcom is so bugy, chinese hardware does not help much, i have black board version only read codes and go timeout

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Yes... they can be a hit and miss... 👍👍👍

total guesswork from start to finish, not impressed, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing
