Control module repair
Category: Mechanical repair & servicing
Also known as: ECU repair, ABS module repair, ECU rebuild, control unit repair, reparación de centralitas, reparación módulo ABS, reparación centralita de motor, centralita de motor, unidad de control
Repairing a faulty electronic control unit itself — the engine ECU, the ABS/ESP module, a gearbox or comfort module — instead of replacing it. A warning light, a car that will not start or a gearbox stuck in one gear can come down to a failed driver, a cracked solder joint or water damage inside the unit's circuit board; the shop confirms the module is the cause, repairs the board or sends it to a specialist, and refits it with its original programming intact. Usually far cheaper than a new unit, which would also need coding.
