Technical Airbag ECU

[Jess414]

I have had an airbag ecu fail so I sent it for repair and it is damaged beyond repair so I bought a new unit. It came today but has a sticker on it saying it requires proxy alignment to vehicle. What do I need to now ? More expense ?

Does the new airbag ecu have an identical part number to the previous airbag ecu?

VIN: ZFA25000002371951N. of parts: 03317748Engine: 1773743 Build date: 20130201 AM87CC2.3CMBDSGDXKW93

Is the information (above) that varesecrazy required to carry out the proxy alignment.

Thanks Martin,

I may be able to help them up here in the Welsh Valleys, this weekend

Thanks for the reply

Martin
Please could I take you up on the offer to do the Proxi Alignment

A proxy alignment is getting all the ecus in vehicle to communicate together, like being on a conference call and getting people to talk in turn not all at once.

Apologies for the late reply, based in Weston super mare,

If you can get up this way happy to plug in and complete a proxi alignment.

I was under the impression that you wanted to know what a proxy alignment was so gave an analogy.

If you are getting desperate you can make an appointment a fiat personal service centre(fiat vans) and pay them for the service.
