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 can I find the number 038906019J on the ECU casing in a Sharan?
VW number 038906019J and Bosch number 0 281 010 216 are printed on the label stuck to the module casing. If both match your unit from a Sharan 1.9 TDI, this used ECU is the right replacement.
Engine Control Unit Volkswagen Sharan 1.9 TDI Bosch 038906019J 0281010216
When a Sharan 1.9 TDI will not start or the diagnostic computer cannot see the ECU at all, the module itself may be the cause. We offer a used, fully working Bosch engine ECU with VW number 038906019J. It is responsible for fuel metering and controlling the diesel engine, and the manufacturer number 0281010216 confirms that it is a Bosch diesel ECU. The unit is used, fully working and in good condition.
How to identify this ECU
- 038906019J – Volkswagen part number
- 0281010216 – Bosch number, shown on the label as 0 281 010 216
The letter J at the end of 038906019J denotes the module version. ECUs with the same core number but a different letter may have different software, so compare the full number from the label.
Typical fault symptoms
- no start although the starter and fuel supply are working,
- no communication with the module during diagnosis,
- the engine cutting out while driving and reduced power,
- internal ECU faults stored.
Before buying a new module, measure the voltage at the connector and check the earths – it takes a few minutes and rules out the simplest causes.
ECU versions and preparation
You can choose one of two options for this ECU. We prepare the unlocked one before dispatch, usually within 1–2 working days. The locked one stores the data and immobiliser of the car it came from – it is intended for workshops that will unlock, program and adapt it themselves.
Whether PIN / CAR PASS, Virgin, IMMO OFF, auto programming or cloning can be used depends on the part number, software version and immobiliser. Drop us a message before you buy and we will check the options. More on the engine control unit options page.
