Nooootho thou it was a manual picturers ect .miss that wat a nob head.never mind. It was cheap just hope it stops the bong. Bong
you will have bought a cd based manual. it wont stop ought.
have you paid for updates to your iidtool?

Right heres the kicker.....
The L322 is a complex beast of computers and electronics....
The IKE - Instrument Pack, The LCM - The Lighting Control Module and the BCU - Body Control Unit....all store vehicle specific information - the IKE is the main interface gateway and acts as the CANbus Master device, the LCM acts as the CANbus Slave device - if you swap out the LCM for another and not have it coded to the car, you *may* get spurious results with light failure warnings, or even some of the lighting not working at all.
The correct replacement procedure is to read and store the information from the current LCM, and then write this to the replacement LCM, that way it knows what car, model, spec, year, mileage, etc etc it is plugged into.
Also I thought the IIDTool was made by GAPDiagnostics....?!?!?!?!?!

yu mite need to know wot your doing tho?
Oh defo, you need a decent diagnostics tool to do it with - Testbook, Faultmate Extreme etc....I doubt IIDTool or some of the other lower end tools will read and store the info....I think the recent All Comms update allows this, but not sure.yu mite need to know wot your doing tho?
Agreed, also got a gap iid for my D3 and can reflash all the ecus and add updated software
With guidance I reflashed some of the ecus, inc transfer case etc , scary as u update them as all the doors lock and unlock then dashboard lights up like a Xmas tree, fingers crossed with baited breath it starts again but was all fine
Heard where people have messed around with settings who haven’t understood them and ended up having to get a special software from iid themselves loaded via computer and iid dongle to allow to to reset all the systems
Some of the fault codes I had when I first started
Apologises I’m not sure mate, u will be more knowledgable than myself
Know a quick email to gap iid and there technical department are extremely helpful
Will email u the main persons email at gap

Right so am I right in saying if I put this ecu on my car it's going to get more faults. Cos the car will not recognises it. I thought it would just be plug in and bobs a goodin
Hi
Out of curiosity, Ref one of ur posts
“”””Right the diagnostic I've got is britpart iid tool got it with the car. And it's coming up.1/2 ox20 short circuit at ecu out put (zg-pins) that's the way it's ritten on the dash. Had that ecu out on the A post put the plugs in and out no change””””
When u used ur diagnostics was that all the fault codes that came up, plse
As they normally will start with B , P or C
Thks
PS, the guys here are the gurus when it comes to these vehicles , as I also have an iid i was just intrigued ref the fault codes u got , cheers

So o can't just stop it
It will not be plug and play.....
You *may* get more faults.....it *may* even cure your bulb message....
But it will not be coded correctly for your car......the LCM carries vehicle specific information, vin number, a copy of the mileage, model code, market, year, lighting functions, etc etc.....
These cars are not simple, they are wildly complex.

Will see wat happens tomorrow wen it come can only try.
A bit of light reading.....
And I got it round the wrong way - the LCM is the I/K Bus Master and the IKE is a stand by unit.....The IKE is still the interface gateway for all the data buses including the CANbus
