Latest vehicle-electronics guides
Browse the latest practical guides for fault reports, module identification and repair enquiries.
- Returning a Repaired Module to a Different GarageWhen one garage removes a unit and another refits it, the diagnostic history can easily become fragmented.
- ECU Repair Quote and Diagnostic Assessment: Understand the ScopeA price for assessment and a price for an identified repair describe different work.
- Sending a Module with Damaged Connector PinsBent, missing or corroded pins should be declared before a module is sent for assessment.
- Bench Test Says No Fault Found: What the Vehicle Garage Should Check NextA no-fault-found bench result describes the tests performed on the removed unit.
- Vehicle Works Normally When the Workshop Checks ItAn intermittent fault that does not appear during an appointment is frustrating, but a normal test result still has a defined scope.
- Diagnostic Report Uses the Wrong Vehicle DescriptionA scan report showing an incorrect engine, model year or variant should be checked before its conclusions are used.

What needs attention?
Choose the closest description. Each route explains what to prepare and where to start.
01 · Engine ECU or starting fault
Keep the original ECU and record whether the engine cranks, starts briefly or does not respond. Include the complete scan report and photographs of the module label.
02 · Gearbox warning or lost drive
Send the gearbox code if known, TCU part number and exact fault codes. Describe which gears are affected and whether the fault changes when warm.
03 · Lights, windows or body electronics
List the functions affected together and any water ingress or battery history. Identify the BCM, BSI, FRM or SAM module before arranging removal.
04 · EV or hybrid system warning
Send the exact dashboard message, vehicle details and a scan report if available. Ask about a complete-vehicle appointment before sending any component. Do not open high-voltage components or send a traction battery.
05 · Replacement module or coding problem
Retain both units and photograph both labels. Explain whether the original still communicates and what programming has already been attempted.
06 · Several warnings or an intermittent fault
Record when the fault happens: cold start, heat, rain or after previous work. A full-vehicle assessment may be needed when several systems are involved.
Already have a unit ready to send? Follow the postal repair checklist. Need the vehicle examined? Choose a workshop assessment.
Start with the information you have
You may know the vehicle brand, the number on the ECU label, or only the warning message on the dashboard. Use the routes below to narrow down the enquiry. A brand name or fault code alone cannot confirm which component needs repair.
Vehicle brands
Prepare the right identification for your make, model and powertrain. Module suppliers and software can differ within one model range.
ECU and module types
Engine, transmission, body, restraint and EV controllers have different roles and assessment routes.
Fault-code guides
Understand what a scan result does and does not establish before buying a replacement module.
Common reasons customers seek an assessment
No communication
A diagnostic tool cannot reach a controller. The vehicle power supply, network and the module itself may all need investigation.
Processor fault code
A P0606 entry needs the complete scan report, vehicle details and the manufacturer’s diagnostic process.
Failed or interrupted programming
Record what was attempted, which tool was used and whether the original unit still communicates. Keep the original module.
Build a useful repair enquiry
- Record the registration, make, model, year, engine and transmission.
- Photograph the complete module label and connectors without opening the unit.
- Save a full vehicle scan, including the exact codes, suffixes and reporting controllers.
- Describe when the fault occurs and any battery, wiring, water-damage or replacement history.
- Ask whether a workshop diagnosis or postal module assessment is appropriate.
Use our full ECU enquiry checklist. If the cause is still uncertain, our postal versus workshop guide explains the difference.
UK-wide module assessment enquiries
Looking for ECU, BCM, SAM or TCU repair support from Birmingham, London, Liverpool, Glasgow or Southampton? AXION welcomes enquiries from owners and garages across the UK. For a suitable removed unit, we can discuss a postal assessment without you travelling to Oxfordshire. Confirm the exact module, symptoms and proposed work before dispatch. Complete-vehicle electrical diagnosis, installation and supported programming may require the vehicle and a separately arranged appointment. Our workshop is in Didcot; the postal enquiry service extends across the UK.
Choose your next step
Identify the repair
Send the vehicle, module part number and diagnostic report before ordering or posting a unit.
Postal assessment
Ask whether your unit is suitable for a postal assessment from anywhere in the UK.
