Corsa D accellorator pedal

[Graeme]

Good luck mate, I'm sure your going to need it

[gunny]

I know im going to need it, ive got the time and money to play with so why not eh?

[John]

Think they need to be run on aftermarket management, the standard corsa loom has to communiacte with abs, stereo, uec, cim etc etc, or else it wont work.

[gunny]

I'll see how it goes, if it needs management it needs management

[John]

Fair play fella! Get it done and update the wip regularly.

[gunny]

I will do, where did you hear it needs to be run with ABS etc

[John]

I used to work a tech for vauxhall, Didn't have much to do with the corsa d before i left though. The engine ecu has to "communicate" with all of the other major ecu's in the car for it to function correctly. It will throw fault codes up, and may not run, if, for example, the abs ecu is disconnected. It needs to recognise a feed from the column module (cim) to tell the eng ecu that the correct key is inserted etc.

Ahh i see, so say i have got the abs ecu, but there is no abs, surely there would be a way to sort of link it out?

That i can't help you with i'm afraid, Iirc there was a thread on mig, someone tried doing it, but was having a real mare getting it to run, in the end, he junked it all for aftermarket stuff iirc.
