In reply to chris cullen. Hi Chris, without looking at the vehicle it's hard to comment. Water ingress in the ECU is on diesel models so I doubt yours is affected. There are a lot of diagnostic tools which claim to reprogram BCM's and go through the process but don't get the desired results.

Hi I have a Corsa D – 2008 -1.4 petrol engine. Battery was failing ( no warnings on dashboard). Was able to start via battery pack but suspect higer voltage not good thing for BCM. AA changed the battery under warranty but car would not start, their diagnosis was immobiliser/bcm issues which they could not resolved. Recommended a local auto locksmith who confirmed the issue and attempted twice to reset BCM. Although his equipment showed he had reprogrammed both keys and BCM car still refuses to start. Im getting P1632 and P1679 errors when using my own cheap non professional diagnostics tool and flashing spanner. He didnt ask for security code which I thought he would need. Friend said possible water ingress in ECU but I suspect auto locksmith did not complete BCM programming. Any thoughts?

In reply to Barry. Hi Barry, This is not the same issue as the issue described in this article. Your issue sounds like an electrical fault and not something we can help with.

I have a similar problem with my newer Corsa d built in 2011 . When starting it starts then cuts out. Flashing spanner on the dash. Take key out and put the key back in and it restarts no issue. It only started after the battery went dead. Did not realise this was a issue with this car. Is it something you can look at as I live in Gillingham Kent.

I have also a vauxhall corsa d 1.4 which continues flashing vehicle with a spanner through. This was also after attempting to start the vehicle in flat battery. Would you recommend anyone I am in Zimbabwe

In reply to Sharon. Hi Sharon, An auto electrician should be working from a manufacturer wiring diagram to check where the issue lies. If your auto electrician has failed to diagnose the issue then I can only suggest you find someone more experienced to look at the vehicle.

Hi there. I have a Vauxhall corsa D 2010 a14xer. We inserted a battery with dead cells. It won’t start or crank. When ignition is turned on, the engine light disappears. Had an electrician check all the wiring and fuses but he can’t seem to find the problem. No diagnostic software is able to Engine codes. There is no communication to the bcm. All I see is the Abs light and power steering light on the dash. Do you have any idea what could be wrong

Good morning,
I have a 1.4 Corsa 2008 Design, had a flat battery and now the vehicle is immobilised. The RAC put a new battery on and I had a locksmith out yesterday with diagnostics to re programme keys but they were unable too, they have advised ecm, bcm and immobilisation system which should be married together are not communicating.

This appears to be my issue above and unfortunately you are not local to me which is a real shame. Previous to this the car has been really reliable, body work not great and 96000 miles but interior is fine, if I go to Vauxhall dealer for this I’m concerned price will be more the value of the vehicle, do you have any suggestions or fellow trade persons you know of in Oxfordshire please?

Many thanks Nick
