Hello everyone
well living in the United Kingdom has been a eye opener thats for sure
Been pulled over a couple of times same as the wife
But luckily police have been very understanding
Regarding speed and only been given warning
Still getting used to driving in miles per hour not kilometers per hour
I am on my way back to new Zealand for two weeks work related but in new south Wales at moment for Bathurst 1000

Ok my question as some of you know a Apprentice auto electrician killed my engine control module
Luckily all information from it was retrieved
and put on replacement engine control module
Oliveston Ltd, Rochdale United Kingdom
So could some kind person please tell me if this replacement engine control module will now be plug and play
or do I need to reconfigure it to the STR using JLR IDS
Thanking you
Darrol

 

It's so rare an issue - really unique - that maybe no-one here will know.

 

Thanks we found out when the apprentice auto Electrician tried to econfigure my original engine control module when it had no communication it ended up damaging one of the two prosser chips
cheers

Pardon my ignorance but, what is a prosser chip?

 

I guess processor (as in CPU)

I'm doubtful they can be damaged (without serious effort, 240V anyone?) in these (Denso) PCMs, they're very robust.

Goodness only knows how anyone could be so inept. or staggeringly careless

 

true but whats done is done
yes you are correct cpu
Now just concentrate on get my baby going
I have had two different companies look at it and both said it had a damagad processor (cpu)
both companies said possibility because they did not use a voltage stabaliser
company in New Zealand and oiverston Ltd in the United Kingdom
cheers

It’s certainly a good lesson for the rest of us to be careful who we let loose on the electronics of our cars.

 

yes if they did bench work it should plug and play just plug it and find out
