Have you tried changing it for a standard ECU to see if that solves the problem?

[ianturbo]

it works fine with mine plugged in , wobbles was a auto ,mine is manuel but i belive that should not make a differance , :undecided

The engine ECU doesn't communicate with the SRS (airbag) ECU whatsoever, the fact you're getting that light says to me there's possibly a short someplace?

Take the cover off the ECU, check all the terminals are clean etc :)

Are you able to short pin 1 to earth on ODB connector and tell us the errors it's logged?

i am going to have another go with it this weekend and will get the fault codes to , just a thought the ECU dosent need to be bolted down (to earth it out ) does it cause all i have done is unplug mine and plug it in ?

Dont think it needs to be bolted down. My ECU is in the passenger footwell and has been for 6 months!

Thats how mine has been for 6 months Ian, and I dont have any of the warning lights that you get.
Incidentally, mine is also a black plastic ECU.

im wondering if there is a problem with the flashing part of it then ,i could do with another car to plug it in to see ,

SRS light? That doesn't sound right.

I assume that the car continues to drive and feel ok?

I know NJ put an auto flashed ECU in a manual before and got some lights up hopefully he'll be along to comment presently.

[kinkyafro]

Spoke to NJ last night seems Engine light is normal with an auto ecu in a manual car the ABS/SRS isn't tho.

[ianturbo]

Cheers for that , it drives ok but im noit to keen driving it with all the lights on , i hope JN can come upwith a solution ,
thanx

Check your alternator voltage. It may be that the voltage is dropping low enough to trigger a fault.
