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.

ECU markings

- B371 – additional marking
Compare them with the sticker on the ECU in your car. The number decides the fit, not the model alone – Volvo used different ECU versions.
Symptoms of a faulty engine ECU
- the starter cranks but the engine does not fire,
- the diagnostic tool cannot connect to the ECU,
- an engine warning light and fault codes that remain after replacing sensors,
- signs of moisture or corrosion on the connectors or circuit board.
Before replacing the ECU, check the power supply, earths and wiring loom – a damaged wire or connector can cause similar symptoms.
Locked or unlocked?
A locked ECU holds the data and immobiliser of the previous car – it is chosen by garages that will program it themselves. The unlocked version is prepared by us before dispatch.
The available unlocking methods depend on the ECU number and the immobiliser system, so before buying ask what we can prepare for the 30729274A unit.
All variants are described on our Locked & Unlocked ECUs page.
