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.

What does the number 61601.739.06 on an ECU from a Fox 1.4 BKR mean?
It is how Magneti Marelli number 6160173906 appears on the label – the other is VW number 030906034S. We offer a used, working IAW 4EV.AR unit from a 2005 Fox, in the locked or unlocked version.
Engine Control Unit Volkswagen Fox 1.4 BKR Magneti Marelli IAW 4EV.AR 030906034S 6160173906
This ECU comes from a 2005 Volkswagen Fox with a 1.4 petrol engine, engine code BKR. It was made by Magneti Marelli – it is a unit from the IAW 4EV.AR family, marked with VW number 030906034S. It controls injection and ignition based on sensor signals.
How to identify this ECU
- 030906034S – VW part number
- 6160173906 – Magneti Marelli number, on the label 61601.739.06
- IAW 4EV.AR – Magneti Marelli ECU type
- BKR – 1.4 engine code
When matching, compare the number 030906034S together with the letter S at the end – it denotes the software and hardware version. The BKR code will help confirm that it is the same engine.
Typical failure symptoms
- no start with working ignition and fuel supply,
- irregular idling with no sensor fault,
- no connection to the diagnostic tool,
- engine warning light on with internal unit faults.
The first step should be to check the fuses and the contacts in the ECU connector.
ECU preparation – two options
We sell ECU 030906034S locked or unlocked. The locked unit holds the data and immobiliser of the previous Fox in its memory and is intended for workshops that will unlock, program and match it themselves. We prepare the unlocked unit before dispatch – usually within 1–2 working days.
Whether PIN / CAR PASS code, Virgin, IMMO OFF, auto programming or clone will be possible depends on the part number, software and immobiliser. Ask about this before you buy. Explanation of all options: Engine control unit (ECU) variants.
