Assuming it is newer than 1996, to replace the ECU, the new one must be i=
n
place and flashed via the OBD-2 data port.  that "marries" the box to the
other control modules in the vehicle.=0D

Hi,=0D
 =0D
Fidling with a VT Commodore that seems to exhibit ECU problems.=0D
Does anyone know what is involved in programming a new ECU for a VT=0D
commodore.  I was told that it must be done with the car as there is a=0D
body module that needs to be present during programming ??=0D
Does this mean you can't just pull a 2nd hand ECU from a VT and shove=0D
into another VT to check if it is an ECU problem?=0D
