IGNITION ISSUES WITH ASTRA AND CORSA MODELS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2004 AND 2010

Ignition failure after battery replacement
Ignition failure after charging up a flat battery
Diagnosis brings up one or more of these fault codes:

P1632 – Wrong transponder key
P1678 – Engine Control Module identification failure
P1679 – Wrong equipment identifier received: Body Control Module
B3114 – Remote key not synchronised
B3925 – Wrong equipment identifier received: Instrument Cluster
B3929 – Wrong equipment identifier received: Airbag Module
B3977 – Wrong equipment identifier received: Engine Control Module
Management light blinking continuously

The Body Control Module is responsible for multiple functions on the vehicle – the immobiliser, remote central locking, windscreen wipers, headlights, indicators etc.

The Engine Control Module is responsible for monitoring and controlling all major aspects of the engine – fuel, air, ignition.

The Instrument Cluster contains your speedometer, rev counter and dash warning lights.

The Airbag Module is a safety module controlling your airbags.

WHAT THE SPANNER WARNING LIGHT MEANS

The warning light on your Astra or Corsa lights up when the ignition is switched on, and should turn off within just a few seconds. If it stays on or lights up while the engine is running it indicates a fault within either the engine or the transmission management system, and could cause the powertrain to run in “emergency” or “limp home” mode.

OUR SOLUTION

Our advanced dealer-level diagnostic and programming equipment means we can reprogram and realign the immobiliser modules in your Vauxhall, either at one of our London or Milton Keynes workshops, or on the road anywhere in London and the Home Counties.

The car will also store some or all of the following fault codes:

P1632 – Wrong Transponder Key
P1678 – ECM (Engine Control Module) Identification Failed
P1679 – Wrong Environment Identifier Received BCM (Body Control Module)
B3114 – Remote Key Not Synchronised
B3925 – Wrong Environment Identifier Received IPC (Instrument Cluster)
B3929 – Wrong Environment Identifier Received SDM (Airbag)
B3977 – Wrong Environment Identifier Received ECM (Engine Control Module)

We have genuine Tech 2 diagnostics, so we can fix these problems for you in no time at all - just like we’ve done for many other happy Vauxhall owners.
