Control Integrated Module (CIM)

Dear All,

My CIM has packed up!

Anyone got any photos of how to get access to it, I want to buy one off ebay but need to check the model numbers are right!

All help greatfully received!

Many thanks,

Rob T

Sorry to half-hijack this...but is that anything related to your power steering?...and has your steering packed up?

My steering has been behaving funny at times with steering at slow speed clearly more difficult than it should be. It seems this unit can cause all sorts of things to pack up from steering to indicator cancelling to immobiliser failure.

Have you checked peer steering level?

Have you got any power assistance at all?

There's a VX field remedy which may or may not help:

Subject:Spring Checkvalve - Remove

Models:Engines:Option:Vectra-C 2002All

Complaint: No steering assistance after starting the engine.The spring in the checkvalve is blocking the valve.

Thanks guys, it's been on a Tech2 and pretty confident it is the CIM on it's way out. Just looking at:

And want to work out if it is the right one for my car.

What's the ident code on your one? If you can't get to it, a code/diagnostic reader should be able to tell you.

just take the top half of the steering cowling off yours and you shud be
able to see the ident and part number
