recognize bosch ecus

[Andrea1]

Hello, I need your suggestion because I do not understand how to identify the different types of bosch ecus, for example, edc15 or edc16 because, unfortunately, are not the same as the marelli, which is written above 6f3 or another. For example, the other day I had to do a quick diagnosis for a stilo 1.9 120cv and them for them when they are entered in multiecuscan I had to choose between edc15 or edc16 and I entered in panic, I didn't know which one to choose!! But then, luckily, I remembered that that car was on a edc16.. little stuff I would have lost 2mins to do the test if the diagnosis I came with edc15 or edc16, but as well for personal culture, is there a way to distinguish them? for example, the initials of the codes or things like that? Or you must think with the year of the car and the hp of the original?

Hello Andrea, I am new to the forum and I was wondering just the same thing...I find myself to the hands of a control unit of a croma 1.9 mjt, which should be a edc 16 but not having the vehicle to make a diagnosis, how do I identify it? There is no one to help us?

[Andrea1]

it is of a fiat croma 1.9 how many hp? you can try and if my rule-of-thumb empirical works and then try the codes that you have on the ecu online and see if corrirsonde to the type of ecu

If I remember right it was a croma 1.9 mjt 120 horses, however, as time has passed and I'm not sure,and now I transcribe the Bosch code that is over. Should be the 0 281 012 961

[Andrea1]

we've been lucky, I've already found and it is a edc16 and the accuracy is a edc16c39
The rule for this ecu worked.. we'll see if others relate to this proposition

[Andrea1]

ok then, being a 120 hp I think it is a edc16... now I try to fiddle around a bit in the network with the code that you gave me and see what jumps out

[project]

andrea, that rule you used?

[Andrea1]

it is quite simple and seemingly silly, but if you notice all the fiat engine under 115hp including the 1.9jtd115 mountain edc15 while all of the engines, diesel means, with 120-140 0 150 hp mountain edc16. Now I don't know if the question can be similar to other car manufacturers as some of mercedes new and I have not touched another fiat
