Bit of background please?

Have you just fitted the 2nd motor?
If so, did the motor have its own engine loom, or did you you fit your engine loom of the old motor?

What was the 2nd engine out of?

You've just recently bought it?

yea had it for a week

Scan it for error codes.

 

[lout]

serv error means the communications network is down
so scan tool probs wont work
use display diagnostics, go to error codes and report back
Trip computer diagnostic codes
Hold mode and up arrow then turn key to on or start
Release buttons
then
Press Mode = Dash Part Number - e.g. 1731
Press Mode = Mode Switch Voltage - e.g. BV - - - 5.0
Press Mode = Battery Voltage - e.g. V 11.8
Press Mode = Petrol Sender Voltage - e.g. FUEL 02.6
Press Mode = LPG Sender Voltage - e.g. VL 5.0
Press Mode = Remaining Fuel - e.g. 38L
Press Mode = Instantaneous Fuel (Liters per Hour) - e.g. 12.8 L/H
Press Mode = Engine Coolant Temp - e.g. 63 C
Press Mode = Vehicle Speed - e.g. 45 KM/H
Press Mode = Tachometer - e.g. 2380
Press Mode = Park Lamps Switch - e.g. P OFF
Press Mode = Dash Trouble Codes - e.g. t 00 (Press up/down to scroll through any codes, these are not PCM, ABS, etc codes)
Press Mode = Dash Test - All gauges will move, lights will come on and buzzer will sound.
Turn key off will revert to normal dash

Dash trouble codes
Format is t then code number then history then current some have nu which I cant remember but believe was not used
Eg
t00-- is fuel gauge sender open circuit no history and no current faults
t16h- is abs history codes but no current fault

i’ll let you know the codes tomorrow so you can point me in the right direction, i know sone of the codes have un, some have h, and some have hc or something along those lines, what do they stand for?

H = history. C = current.
Hc history & current.
Un is nu = not used.

Mine has 11, 17, and 20, how would i go about fault finding further or fixing these?
Also after swapping the ECU it only displays codes 19 and 20.
