ECU Testing

Advanced bench diagnostics for ECUs, instrument clusters, BCMs, ABS and SRS modules. Send us the part number or your registration plus the fault code, and we'll test, diagnose and quote - saving you time and unnecessary parts costs.

Order an ECU test

Tell us the unit and the fault. Identify it by part number or by vehicle registration, add the fault code(s), and we’ll come back to you with a quote and next steps.

Identify the unit by

Your address

We’ll use this to generate your postage labels and to return your unit.

A photo of the part-number sticker, the unit, or your scan report helps us quote faster. Images, PDF, text or CSV - up to 5 files.

No payment now - we’ll review your order and reply with a quote.

Gauge failure, backlight problems, display faults and CAN errors.

BCM

Body control modules - lighting, locking and configuration faults.

ABS Modules

Internal electronic faults and CAN issues.

Airbag / SRS

Crash data presence and module communication.

Immobiliser Modules

Comm faults and key data integrity.

TCU / Gearbox Modules

What's Included in Every Test

Every test goes through the full diagnostic pipeline so you know exactly what's wrong before deciding whether to repair or replace.

  • Communication integrity check across all CAN/LIN buses
  • Power supply and ground response verification
  • Internal fault detection on key components
  • Software corruption / firmware integrity testing
  • Bench simulation of vehicle conditions
  • Written diagnosis with repair vs replace recommendation

How to Send Us a Module

Sending a module for testing is simple - follow these four steps and we'll handle the rest.

Postal Testing

Send the module to our workshop

  1. 1

    Remove the module carefully from the vehicle (anti-static handling)

  2. 2

    Package it securely in anti-static or bubble wrap

  3. 3

    Include your contact details, vehicle make/model/year and fault description

  4. 4

    Use a tracked delivery service to our Dumbarton workshop

Once received, we’ll bench test the unit and contact you with a full diagnosis and clear repair-or-replace recommendation. Workshop address provided at booking - message us on WhatsApp to start.

Simple, fair pricing

Most modules are tested for a fixed bench-test fee, confirmed in your quote before you post anything - and if we go on to repair the unit, the testing fee comes off the repair cost.

Frequently asked

How much does testing cost?+

Testing is a fixed bench-test fee that we confirm in your quote before you send anything. If you then go ahead with a repair, that fee is deducted from the repair price.

What if you find no fault?+

You still get a full written report confirming the unit tested good, so you can rule it out with confidence and look elsewhere for the fault. The bench-test fee still applies as the work has been done.

How do I remove the module?+

Disconnect the battery first, then unplug and unbolt the unit using anti-static handling. If you're unsure, message us on WhatsApp with a photo and we'll talk you through it.

How do I send it, and will you send it back?+

Print the send-to-us and return labels from your order confirmation, package the unit securely (anti-static / bubble wrap) and post it tracked. We return your unit by tracked courier once testing (and any repair) is complete.

How long does it take?+

Most modules are tested within 24-48 hours of arriving at our workshop. We'll confirm turnaround with your quote.

Is my data safe?+

Yes. We only use your details to handle your order and keep your unit and any stored data secure throughout. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Check if we service your module

Paste an ECU type or part number from your faulty module and see instantly whether we cover it, what services we offer, and the starting price.

Database includes ECUs, BCMs, FEM/BDC, CEM, instrument clusters, TCUs, ABS modules and more.

Our coverage database grows with every job we complete. If your specific part number isn’t listed but the ECU type matches, there’s a strong chance we still cover it - ask us.
