A short run of words, FSX1, FSX2 and FSX3, follows the Ford numbers 1M5F-12A650-GB, GC and GD in our table. Whichever number and word your unit carries, we repair the Ford engine ECUs on this LP2-320 page at component level, in our own UK workshop, and return them by post.

A run of words on the 1M5F base

GB, GC, GD and GE share the base 1M5F-12A650, so the base alone does not settle which of them is in your hand. On GB, GC and GD the FSX run follows the ending in order; GE, on the same base, breaks it, and its word is 3FSA.

For GB, the car and the engine size are not confirmed. The number 1M5F-12A650-GB and the word FSX1, read together, are what identify that unit.

We make no claim about what any of these words stand for. The run is simply what the labels print, and it gives you something to hold against the table when you match a unit to its row. Copy the word exactly as it is printed, together with the whole Ford number.

GC, GD, GE, PB and CA on the Ford Focus

GC, GD, GE, PB and CA are each on record as LP2-320 units from the Ford Focus. Engine size is recorded row by row: 1.6 for GC, GD, GE and PB, and 2.0 for CA. A Focus 1.6 is on record against GC, GD, GE and PB alike, so the car and its engine size cannot choose between those rows; the number and its word can.

PB is 1S4F-12A650-PB, with the word RENT, and CA is 2M51-12A650-CA, with the word 5ARC. Neither base appears on any other row of our table, so the start of the number points to PB or CA, with RENT or 5ARC as the confirmation.

1S7F-12A650-CE and the Mondeo 2.5 V6

CE sits on the base 1S7F-12A650 and carries the word GONG. It is on record from the Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6. No other number in our table begins 1S7F, so the base leads straight to CE, and GONG confirms it.

Inspection, estimate and repair

Every unit is logged on arrival and given a visual inspection and an electrical test. Diagnostics then follow the fault you described. Before any chargeable work, you receive our findings and an estimate, and the repair goes ahead only on your authorisation.

The work itself is done at component level by our own engineers, under a microscope and with temperature-controlled rework equipment, and a unit is not finished until it has passed final testing. A repair from us on any of these units comes with a 24-month warranty.

Your Repair Form, then the parcel

We work by post and take units from anywhere in the UK. Before the parcel goes, detail the Ford number, its word and the symptoms on our Repair Form.

If the label matches none of our rows, look through Ford engine ECUs whose labels point elsewhere, or go to engine ECU repairs past the seven numbers listed here. For the wider picture, there is a guide to what our engineers repair.

Our table prints each Ford number without its hyphens and follows it with the word, so 2M51-12A650-CA appears as 2M5112A650CA 5ARC, the final 1 of its base running straight into 12A650.
