The Engine Control Module is responsible for monitoring and controlling all major aspects of the engine – fuel, air, ignition.
The Instrument Cluster contains your speedometer, rev counter and dash warning lights.
The Airbag Module is a safety module controlling your airbags.
WHAT THE SPANNER WARNING LIGHT MEANS
The warning light on your Astra or Corsa lights up when the ignition is switched on, and should turn off within just a few seconds. If it stays on or lights up while the engine is running it indicates a fault within either the engine or the transmission management system, and could cause the power train to run in “emergency” or “limp home” mode.
