I don't suppose anyone in kent is able to code a ecu to a car?

I thought i'd ask on here, you never know who might have ids or similar laying about! lol

 

you have to code the key to the car, not the other way around

 

the key is from the car, but it had the ecu 'repaired' (that's another story) and now pats is coming up with ecu id mismatch, and therefore needs recoding. I don't know/care how it's done, but i'm led to believe ids will do this?

 

ids is the ford way to do it which will work

you can recode the keys yourself, but you need to have a key that works first apparently

there is a sequence to turn the ignition on and off etc to recode it but it varies from car to car, i know my mondeo needed it doing but the fiesta was easy enough to sort

 

Where in kent?
And how urgent is it? as i have an ids and key coding computer at work but where im a mobile van i dont have it all the time.

What car and year is it?

 

I'm just down the road in Faversham mate, its a 2003 fusion (fiesta) however, I sent the ecu back via royal mail and it appears not to have arrived there yet. I was hoping they'd have a back up of the ecu code and be able to rewrite it.

So, as for urgency, not at all! Lol

Dojj, thanks for your help, but it's the ecu that's lost the code, therefore non of the keys are registering.

 

have you tried swapping the transoponder ring around the steering colum?

 

dojj it went off to the ecu repair after the coil pack went and took the ecu with it, came back, plug it in and it ran perfectly but had no speedo or mileage display (i've since suspected the vss) so it went back. Upon it's return, it has an immobliser problem (dash pats code 2-3 ecu id mismatch), I've sent it back again and it's somewhere in royal mail's system, I'm hoping it ain't lost!

I'm pretty sure therefore that it's lost it's ecu coding mate.
