A faulty transmission control module (TCM) most often causes limp mode with the gearbox stuck in one gear, harsh jolts when you select D or R, erratic gear changes, flashing PRND letters and a gearbox or engine warning light. However, the same symptoms are often caused by a low gearbox oil level, a weak battery, a poor earth or a faulty sensor. To test a transmission control module, start by checking the battery and reading the fault codes with a diagnostic tool that can talk to the gearbox control unit, then check the power supply, the connector, the oil and the live data. Below we explain the symptoms, the diagnostic steps and what the most common fault codes mean.

Important: Depending on the ECU type and vehicle model, not all of the options listed below may be available.
To select the correct option for your vehicle and ECU, please contact us before purchasing:
contact@auto24parts.com
1. Locked
This option is intended for professional workshops with the required specialist equipment and technical knowledge.
The ECU has been removed from a vehicle intended for recycling and still contains the immobilizer data and other information from the previous vehicle. Before it can be used in another car, it must be unlocked and then programmed using specialist automotive diagnostic equipment.
2. Unlocked
Several preparation methods may be available. The possible options depend on the ECU type, vehicle model and immobilizer system. Please contact us before purchasing, as some preparation methods are not available for every ECU.
Our electronics specialists can prepare the ECU in one of the following ways:
a) ECU with PIN code (Car Pass)
The PIN code is supplied, but programming with a suitable diagnostic tool is still required. After installing the ECU, it must be reset using the supplied PIN code and then programmed to the vehicle’s immobilizer system.
b) VIRGIN ECU
The data from the previous vehicle is removed and the ECU is restored to a clean, factory-like state. After installation, it must be programmed to the vehicle using a compatible specialist diagnostic tool. Unless another preparation method is specified in the product description, this is the standard unlocking option for most of our ECUs.
c) Plug & Play – IMMO OFF
The immobilizer function is disabled in the ECU. After installation, the engine can start without additional immobilizer programming. Please note that the vehicle will no longer have an active immobilizer function, and an immobilizer warning light or fault code may remain, depending on the vehicle model.
d) Plug & Play – Automatic Programming
After installation, the ECU automatically learns and saves the required vehicle data. No additional programming is normally required.
e) Plug & Play – 1:1 Clone
The data from your original ECU is copied to another fully functional ECU. The cloned unit is then ready for installation without additional programming.
You must send us your original ECU so that we can transfer its data to the replacement unit.
The original ECU must have working communication with the vehicle, a diagnostic tool or our programming equipment. If the required data cannot be read, a complete 1:1 clone may not be possible.
3. Complete Plug & Play Set
A complete matched set containing the ECU, immobilizer components and all other parts required to start the vehicle without additional programming. All components supplied in the set must be installed in the vehicle.
Important:
Dispatch time depends on the selected option. If an unlocked or specially prepared version is ordered, the preparation service usually requires an additional 1–2 business days.

How does the 06A906033DR ECU differ from the 06A906033DC?
It differs in the ending of the VW number (DR instead of DC) and in the 5WP number: here 5WP4024403. It is a different version of the unit – we are offering a used, working 06A906033DR for a petrol Volkswagen.
Engine Control Unit Volkswagen 06A906033DR 5WP4024403
The letters DR at the end of the number 06A906033DR are the most important clue when matching this unit. It comes from a petrol-engined Volkswagen, and its label shows a second number, 5WP40244 03. It controls injection and ignition and monitors engine operation. Condition of the unit: used, working, good.
How to identify this ECU
- 06A906033DR – VW number with the ending DR
- 5WP4024403 – 5WP… number (Siemens VDO / Continental numbering), as written on the label: 5WP40244 03
06A906033 ECUs come in many versions marked with different letters. Choose a unit with exactly the same ending as in your car – a different letter means different software or hardware.
Engine ECU failure symptoms
- the engine will not start even though the power supply and starter motor are fine,
- jerking and rough running even though the spark plugs and coils are fine,
- internal unit faults,
- the ECU will not connect to diagnostics after a voltage surge or water ingress.
Before you order a new unit, check the wiring loom, connector and earth leads. It is also worth reading the fault memory with a tester.
Which version should you choose?
If you have a workshop and the right equipment, a locked ECU is all you need – it contains the previous car's data and immobiliser, and you will do the unlocking, programming and matching yourself. If not, choose unlocked; we will prepare it before dispatch, usually in 1–2 working days.
For the 06A906033DR ECU, the availability of PIN / CAR PASS, Virgin, IMMO OFF, auto programming and clone depends on the part number, software and immobiliser – ask before you buy. Description of the variants: ECU preparation options.
