At the centre of each Ford number in our table are the same six characters, 12A650. Reading outwards from them, first to the four characters in front and then to the letters behind, is a steady way to compare a Ford engine ECU with the rows below.

Each of those numbers is on record from the Ford Fiesta. The sections below give what else is on record for each one, and then how our engineers repair the unit.

12A650 at the centre, letters either side

Our table prints each number run together, without hyphens, so 96FB-12A650-JB appears there as 96FB12A650JB. On the unit itself, the same number may be printed with hyphens.

In front of 12A650, our table prints three 96FB numbers and one 97FB number. Behind it, the endings in our table are ACB, ADA, JB and AEA.

96FB-12A650-ACB and 96FB-12A650-ADA part at the second letter of their ending, C or D. That is the character to read most carefully if the print on the unit is worn.

A four-letter code follows each number in our table, after a space: CHAP, BAUD, JUGS and JULY. The same code may also be printed beside the number on the unit. If so, it offers a second check.

On record under 96FB-12A650

Our table prints 96FB12A650ACB, followed by CHAP. 96FB-12A650-ACB is on record from the Ford Fiesta. It is also on record as an LPE-107 unit.

Our table prints 96FB12A650ADA, followed by BAUD. 96FB-12A650-ADA is on record from the Ford Fiesta.

Our table prints 96FB12A650JB, followed by JUGS. Its ending, JB, is two letters long, so the number is a character shorter than the other 96FB numbers in our table. 96FB-12A650-JB is on record as an LPE-107 unit. It is also on record from the Ford Fiesta 1.3.

On record under 97FB-12A650

Our table prints 97FB12A650AEA, followed by JULY. 97FB-12A650-AEA is on record from the Ford Fiesta 1.3.

Its base opens 97FB, not 96FB. Its ending, AEA, also differs from ADA at the middle letter, E against D.

Mended inside the case and returned

We repair by post, for customers anywhere in the UK. Contact us for a quote via the Repair Form on this site.

When the unit arrives, it is logged, inspected visually and tested electrically, then taken through diagnostics for the fault it has. We contact you with what we found and an estimated repair price. Nothing chargeable is done until you authorise it.

Our own engineers carry out the repair at component level in our UK workshop, under a microscope and with temperature-controlled rework equipment. They put right the specific fault rather than swapping the whole unit, so the engine ECU that goes back is the one you sent. Nothing is outsourced.

A repair is not complete until it passes final testing. Our 24-month warranty is tied to the repair we carried out.

Up to Ford, then out to other makes

One level up from here are the Ford engine ECU repairs listed on our Ford page. If the car is another make, begin at the engine ECU repairs hub for the makes we cover. There is also an index of the engine ECUs we repair.

The Ford numbers in our table follow, each with its four-letter code after it.
