Yes. In my case it was ecu, key and the immobilizer and areal were integrated in one unit in the steering column.


I take it you sent all of your components away to be fixed ?

Where did you send it, what price was it (incl postage) ?

Rhinoman. But it will help him if you have a diagnosis first, a code. Mine was not primarily an ecu issue. But take my word for it VERY reasonable. I'll pm you.

We've got GV's starting to appear in u-pull-it wreckers in Victoria now so its probably possible to find a cheap ecu. I would assume that as long the used ecu matches your engine/gearbox combo theyre probably all the same?



Has to be a 03-05 GV ECU the earlier GV ECUs are different.

You can buy a phone car for under 1000 pull the bits you need, part the rest of the car and get your money back. There are two on gumtree now, autos. But I feel like yours is manual, Here is a v6 manual one.

Suzuki Grand Vitara,

Buy an entire car, get one with a steel front diff if you can, sell some parts and you will get your money back and have a free ECU and immo keypair. The front housing alone is worth a couple of hundred alone and all of the rest of the parts will add up quickly.

Thanks for the info fellas.


I don't have any space for another not going vehicle, so will see if i can find any parts from a wrecker, if no luck I'll consider sending my parts away, or sell the good bits from my car :(

Got to say although I didnt have any expensive failures on my old gv. I'm so glad I don't own one anymore, as they're a bloody expensive car to run for what they are. Even worse once lifted.
