Dan,
Best thing you can do is read the fault codes now as it is first i think,
ASM`s have the normal pcm for the engine (albeit different software) and a seperate ECU behind control panel just for the ASM side of things...
Which ECU do you think is faulty ? the ASM one ?

You can re-flash your PCM if you want to convert the van to full manual,

ASM module can be reflashed but it takes 45-60 mins from memory (DO NOT attempt to do this without a fully charged battery and a charger of some description supporting it,it can wipe the module during process and it will then be useless £1000 ish for a new one )

I have the calibration number for the module I have which is a '52 plate 90ps rwd so that would do it,
Sounds like the dealer he's taken it to arent willing (don't know how) to re-flash his module.
I did this job last month on a later van with hybrid cluster,
Having the correct calibration number makes life a lot easier...
Shouldn't t need to change module,i didn't !


Hi Frag, thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Are you able to provide the calibration code that you reckon they need?
Also, is there any info that you can think of that I can pass to the dealer that might help them get this sorted out.
Unfortunately, to be quite honest, I think it is something that they really don't want to do or get involved in, so any advice that can be passed on would be a massive help.

I think the main engine one is faulty as i've got a working asm module that i've swapped out to check and i'm getting the same fault.
I've also had a manual ecu in it and it starts and runs ok on that.
so i wanted to re-flash the manual ecu with the asm software if this is possible ?
I've got the battery charging up anyway and i'll read the codes on ids again before going any furthar.

Yes Dan,you can re-flash from manual to ASM Software in the PCM itself,i did that too while waiting to find the correct calibration number.

If you have IDS you now have a fighting chance of diag/fixing this....... :)

I`ll try and remember to get the calibration number i have at work,in the meantime if you see or know of any 90PS RWD Full manual,with the earlier analogue cluster.....



Open the passenger door,and on a seperate sticker near the Chassis/weights i.d. sticker there should be the PCM calibration number,
(Will be something like 6C11-12K532-AH)
Make a note of the number.......

I've got the battery on the recovery charger overnight, so ill get into it tomorrow :D
Do I go in through the calibration number when starting a new session or do I let it auto connect with the 'all other' option ?

Thanks Dan, that would be really helpful as the 90's appear to be quite scarce here for the manuals.

Quite the opposite here,the 90ps i`d say is most common RWD engine......
Just dont see any MK6's in at dealers now apart from the odd trade in,making it difficult to record calibration numbers,but the ones i do see i'm now recording :wink:

Are you after any Mk6 numbers, or just 90's, we could maybe gather some on here for you :idea:
1994 Mk4 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (R.I.P.)
1997 Mk5 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (Gone, but not forgotten!)

I'm just jotting a few different ones down,not needed them till now and suddenly 2 come along in a month

I guess one for each PS engine 75/90/115/120/125/135

Durashift/manual

Analogue/Hybrid cluster.

Combinations of the above would be useful,Axle ratio and tyre size can be altered so thats no issue,
Only other thing i can think off is whether 120/125 is the one with or without lift pump on filter head.........

So..................
I'm noting the ones of the above i see. :)

Hey guys, did anyone have any luck with that calibration number by any chance so that we can give that a try?

If not, we still need an ecu.

Cheers
