Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-, Replacing



Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-, Replacing

NOTE: To achieve optimal anti-theft protection for the vehicle, an anti-theft immobilizer was installed. The anti-theft immobilizer is a system for enabling/locking the Engine Control Module (ECM).

So that this system cannot be circumvented, it is necessary to perform adaptation of the anti-theft immobilizer using the VAS 5051 or VAS 5052
Vehicle Diagnostic and Information System in the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) function.

The great availability of equipment options makes adaptation of the Engine Control Module (ECM) necessary (e.g. cruise control system, coding). This "writing" function is not possible with the generic scan tool, therefore it is necessary to use the VAS 5051 or VAS 5052 Vehicle Diagnostic and Information System in On Board Diagnostic (OBD) function for this purpose.
