Our engineers repair Ford LPE-101 engine ECUs in our own UK workshop, and below, the Ford numbers in our table are taken one at a time, each under its own heading.
Every number in our table is on record as an LPE-101 unit. The next three sections give the car on record for each number.
Our table prints each Ford number without its hyphens, then a space and a four-letter word. The same word may also be printed beside the number on the unit, so a worn label can still leave two things to read.
In our table, 96AB-12A650-ED and 96AB-12A650-EE match up to their final letter, D in one and E in the other. Where that letter is scuffed, read it slowly, and check the word after the number as well if the label carries one.
96AB-12A650-ED and the word EARL
96AB-12A650-ED carries the word EARL. Our table prints it as 96AB12A650ED. It is on record as an LPE-101 unit. It is also on record from the Ford Escort 1.8.
96AB-12A650-EE and the word ELLE
96AB-12A650-EE carries the word ELLE, and our table prints the number as 96AB12A650EE. This number is on record as an LPE-101 unit. The Ford Escort is on record for it as well.
96FB-12A650-GB and the word SLIM
96FB-12A650-GB carries the word SLIM. In our table it is printed as 96FB12A650GB. The number is on record as an LPE-101 unit. The Ford Fiesta is also on record for it.
Diagnosis, your go-ahead, then the repair
Our service runs by post and takes engine ECUs from anywhere in the UK. You can request a quote via our Repair Form. The car itself stays with you.
When the unit arrives, it is logged and visually inspected. Electrical testing follows, then diagnostics specific to the fault. We contact you with the outcome and an estimated repair price, and no chargeable work starts until you authorise it.
The repair is made at component level. Our engineers deal with the specific fault rather than swapping the whole unit, so the engine ECU you send is the one that comes back. The work is done under a microscope with temperature-controlled rework equipment, and nothing is outsourced.
A repair is not finished until the unit passes final testing. Our warranty on that specific repair lasts 24 months.
Ford owners can also visit the page that introduces our Ford engine ECU repairs. For a wider view, see our engine ECU repairs, organised by manufacturer, or a breakdown of the engine ECU types we repair.
Our table is below, with each Ford number in its unhyphenated form and its word beside it.
