A properly functioning ABS system is the foundation of road safety. Its main task is to prevent wheel lock-up during emergency braking, which allows the driver to maintain full control of the vehicle. The heart of this system is the electronic ABS pump controller. When it fails, the system stops working. A proper diagnosis of the problem allows you to avoid unnecessary costs and quickly restore brake efficiency.

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.

Engine control unit 0261S10129 – does it fit your MINI?
This is a used, working Bosch MEV17.2.2 engine control unit (DME) with part numbers 0261S10129, 8625068 and 78104370. It comes from a MINI with a 1.6 petrol engine. Before buying, compare the numbers with the label on the control unit in your car.
Engine Control Unit DME Bosch 0261S10129 – MINI 1.6
The engine control unit (DME) manages the petrol engine: it reads the sensor signals and controls injection, ignition and the throttle, among other things. This unit is a Bosch MEV17.2.2 with the BMW/MINI number 8625068, used in MINI models with the 1.6 petrol engine.
Part numbers to compare
- 0261S10129 – also printed on the label as: 0 261 S10 129
- 8625068 – also printed on the label as: 8 625 068 (BMW/MINI DME number)
- 78104370
The same numbers should appear on the control unit fitted to your car. The car model alone is not enough – MINI models with the 1.6 engine were also fitted with control units carrying other numbers.
Signs of a faulty engine control unit
When the engine control unit starts to fail, the most common signs are:
- no communication with the diagnostic tool,
- starting problems or the engine stalling,
- an engine warning light and actuator faults that replacing parts does not fix.
These symptoms do not always mean the control unit itself is faulty. Before replacing it, check the power supply, ground connections and wiring, and read the fault codes. After replacement, the control unit must be matched to the vehicle’s immobiliser – usually by transferring the data or the ISN code.
