    Astra H CIM rapair

    Question for Pecky:

    I see many people out there having a lot of problems with CIM module.
    So, if engine ECU and many other complex electronic devices can be fixed, is it possible to fix CIM?

    Why to buy new one or used, if it can be fixed?

    If it's fixable, how to do that?

      Yes, it could be repaired. It would usually be much easier to just replace with one from a scrap car, though. It isn't always easy to find the fault on a multi-layer PCB with tiny surface mount technology components.
      Even then, there may be a custom IC or two in there that you cannot get a replacement for, then you would be back to the scrap yard for a spare.

      if like vectra you can reuse same key and barrel... you tell it CIM unit replaced when reprogramming and it relearns the key from the engine ecu..

      but you can keep the key/barrel from donor unit if NOT cleared if thats what you want to do? Bit more reprogramming but can be done..
