What Is An ECU?
Each car is installed a ECU unit. ECU stands for "Engine Control Unit" there is an ECU for your engine management, one for your dashboard/lights, one for your gearbox and one for your hood if you have a convertible vehicle and so on. We currently only offer repair services for the Engine Management ECU's only. These are also known as ECM (Engine Control Module).

What Does The ECU Do?
An ECU (Engine Control Unit) also known as an ECM (Engine control module) is responsible for all the electronic signals passed back and forward to the vehicle. Without an ECU, your engine would not even start. 

What Is ECU Coding?
Recently, manufacturers have begun coding all ecu's to the vehicles they are installed on, this is an act to cut down on crime as many people realised how expensive these units can be and began breaking into vehicles. An ECU from main dealer can typically cost around $1000-1200.

What We Do
As fully qualified ECU repair specialists we are capable of carrying out a wide range of ECU repairs following an initial ECU soak testing which will help to identify the cause of the problem and pinpoint it exactly.

In many cases a simple flash reset could be all that is required to get your ECU back into working order but if your electronic control unit needs to be exchanged or replaced.

ECU's are rarely manufactured by the car manufacturers. In most cases the manufacturer of your ecu unit will be one of the following:

BOSCH
SIEMENS
ISUZU
MAGNETTI MARELLI
MITSUBISHI
DELCO
DELFI
MOTOROLA
