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.

Where on the ECU casing can I find the number 06B906033AL?
VW number 06B906033AL and Siemens number 5WP4030315 (printed on the label as 5WP40303 15) are on the ECU label. This used, working unit comes from a Volkswagen Golf or Skoda with a 1.6 petrol engine.
Engine Control Unit Volkswagen Golf, Skoda 1.6 Siemens 06B906033AL 5WP4030315
This Siemens engine control unit was fitted to both the Volkswagen Golf and Skoda models – in both cases with a 1.6 petrol engine. The VW number of the unit is 06B906033AL and the Siemens number is 5WP4030315. The ECU is responsible for fuel injection, ignition and idle, and if it fails the engine usually cannot be started.
How to identify this ECU
- 06B906033AL – VW part number
- 5WP4030315 – Siemens number, on the label 5WP40303 15
The AL suffix denotes the software or hardware version. 06B906033 units with other letters will not necessarily fit your car, so compare the full number and, if in doubt, the Siemens number as well.
How to recognise a fault
- no start with a working power supply and fuel pump,
- the engine cuts out when accelerating,
- engine warning light with an internal ECU fault,
- no communication with the diagnostic tool.
Before replacing it, check the ECU connector and earth leads, and read the fault codes.
Which version we will ship
Unlocked – we prepare it before dispatch, usually within 1–2 working days. Locked – with the data and immobiliser of the previous car, for workshops that will unlock, program and match the ECU to the Golf or Skoda themselves.
Please bear in mind that the availability of methods (PIN / CAR PASS, Virgin, IMMO OFF, auto programming, clone) depends on the part number, software and immobiliser. Before you buy, ask what is possible for 06B906033AL. More: ECU preparation options.
