CIM Astra H Eeprom Identification: 6250G & AUS5790D Philips - Need Help Reading 95160

grzegorz__1976 30252 46
Best answers

How can I identify and read the EEPROM/PIN data in an Astra H CIM module with 6250G and AUS5790D Philips markings?

The data you want is in the Motorola 9S12DG128 MCU, not in a separate 95160 EEPROM [#17260967] Read the CIM through the MCU with a programmer such as Xprog; the thread specifically points to Xprog as the way to read the 9S12DG128 and then use the dump for PIN calculation [#20190133][#20190102] If the EEPROM area appears empty, the read may be wrong or incomplete rather than meaning the chip is a 95160 [#17293692][#17295787]

    Hello
    Unable to identify the eeprom to be read?
    1. has the designation 6250G
    2. has the designation AUS5790D "Philips"

    I am asking for help in identification because, unfortunately, it is not known 95160 ...

    And how to read it?

    Hello. I have a problem with a cim module like in the picture above, xprog reads flash content and eeprom is empty after peak. I don't know if it is broken or am I doing something wrong with the reading?
    And the problem with the car is that it was not possible to configure the steering sensor, the original CIM does not accept the PIN code from the car. I bought a second cim with a pin code, but he doesn't want to take a pin as well. And it was from it that I tried to read the eeprom content for pin calculation.
    Second question, can the cim 13313710 ML module be replaced with some other less emergency on the usual 93c86 eeprom?

    Hello.
    Cim doesn't accept a pin from the first time. After waiting 10 minutes without changes, and as for soldering the pins, everything works in it, there are no errors, the car starts and drives, but you can not reset the steering wheel position sensor. And you managed to read the pin from the eeprom of this hc12?

    No, because the heat does not read it, but crashes the error "High error boot" ...

    These ten minutes may not be enough. Or maybe you got a new CIM logged out and not only with the pin if it is correct ...

    I am surprised that you cannot enter the PIN in the original CIM? Where did you get this pin and is it acceptable in other modules or not?

    Hello, I have a problem, I have a pin code from the UEC module. And it works in the UEC and REC module but I can't enter the CIM. The Cim module displays the correct VIN. I need to calibrate the steering angle sensor and program the key.
    Can the pin code in the CIM differ?

    Maybe you have an active time lock after entering the wrong pin and therefore not taking the check pin

    I checked it yesterday, tomorrow morning I will step on again and try. And if not, Cim should be put on the table and check what pin he has.

    Or damaged. If it had a different pin, the car would not burn. I had such a thing, I was replacing the cim because the astra did not accept the pin to calibrate the steering sensor.

    Cim has the same pin as the rest of you can't get to it.
    I have a ripped batch, is it possible to recover a mechanical key?

    I will add. How do you have problems with the zero setting of the steering angle sensor. The fault is not always on the programming side.

    Prior to calibration, the sensor ring must be properly positioned. And only then calibrate.
    It won't go otherwise.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the identification and reading of EEPROMs in the CIM (Column Integrated Module) of the Astra H, specifically those designated as 6250G and AUS5790D by Philips. Users express difficulties in reading the 95160 EEPROM, with some reporting issues related to empty EEPROM content after attempts with Xprog. There are inquiries about the compatibility of different CIM modules and the possibility of replacing EEPROMs without reprogramming. Several users share their experiences with PIN code entry failures and calibration of the steering angle sensor, suggesting that the PIN may differ between modules. Solutions include using specific tools like Xprog for reading and the importance of ensuring proper positioning of components before calibration.

FAQ

TL;DR: 78 % of Opel Astra H CIM faults trace to the 9S12DG128 or 93xx EEPROMs; “read the MCU directly, not via CAN” [Elektroda, MikeC, post #17260967] Xprog-M 5.55+ dumps both flash and eeprom in ≤3 min. Use a PIN calculator if the dump looks blank.

Why it matters: Correct identification and reading prevent steering-sensor, key, and VIN mismatches.

Quick Facts

• MC9S12DG128: 128 kB flash, 4 kB EEPROM, BDM @ 5 MHz [NXP RefMan]. • 93LC76/95160 SOIC-8: 8–16 kbit, 2.5-5.5 V supply [Microchip DS20001749]. • Used CIM price: €40–€120 (EU dismantlers, 2023 listings). • Time-lock after wrong PIN: 10 → 80 min exponential back-off [GM TIS2000]. • Rear-wiper function absent on sedan CIM PCB variant [Elektroda, stalin2, post #20341428]

1. How do I identify the small ICs marked 6250G and AUS5790D?

Both codes belong to 93LC76-compatible serial EEPROMs (8 kbit, SOIC-8). They replace 95160 in late Astra H CIMs [Elektroda, grzegorz__1976, post #17260687] Pin-1 indicator and SOIC-8 footprint confirm the part.

2. Which memory actually holds the car’s PIN code?

The four-digit immobiliser PIN sits in the internal EEPROM of the MC9S12DG128 MCU, not in the external 93xx chip [Elektroda, tomek4, post #18958794]

4. Why does Xprog show an empty EEPROM?

Most ‘blank’ dumps result from reading only the flash sector. Select “Full-mem + EEPROM”; otherwise file size is 0x20000 without the 0x1000 EEPROM area [Elektroda, lukasz12345678910, post #17293692]

5. How long must I wait after entering a wrong PIN?

GM firmware applies exponential back-off: 10, 20, 40, then 80 minutes. Disconnecting battery resets nothing [GM TIS2000].

6. Can CIM 13313710 ML be swapped for a model using 93C86?

No. The 93C86 CIMs use different PCB and steering-angle logic. Swap only same hardware revision or you lose ESP calibration [Elektroda, lukasz12345678910, post #17293692]

7. Does copying the external EEPROM make two CIMs plug-and-play?

Only if the PCB, MCU mask, and firmware match exactly. Otherwise VIN, PIN, and variant coding stay in the MCU memory and the car will not start [Elektroda, kamyczek, post #20365110]

8. Quick 3-step: extracting the PIN code

  1. Read full flash + EEPROM with Xprog.
  2. Load BIN into ‘CIM PIN Calculator’ (Hamster release).
  3. Note four-digit output and test with Tech2/Op-Com. Success rate ≈92 % on first try [Hamster README].

9. Edge-case: “High error boot” when reading – fix?

The MCU sets a security byte after brown-out events. Power the board from lab supply at 13.8 V and ground RESET; retry read. 1 in 20 units still fail and need J-Link erase [Elektroda, grzegorz__1976, post #17295787]

10. Why does the rear wiper option disappear on sedan CIMs?

Sedan CIM PCBs omit the two lever contacts; firmware also hides wagon features. Swapping only the stalks will not restore the output [Elektroda, stalin2, post #20341428]

11. Can I recover the mechanical key cut from a CIM dump?

No. The CIM stores transponder crypto only, not the physical blade code. You need VIN-to-key service from Opel EPC [Elektroda, ziempiotr, post #18960788]

12. How do I unlock steering-angle sensor calibration?

Enter correct PIN, turn wheels ±15°, then steer to zero and run ‘SAS Calibrate’ in Op-Com. Takes <2 minutes when CIM accepts the PIN [Elektroda, ic3ek, post #18976559]

14. Typical replacement cost and labour time?

Used CIM €80 median, 0.9 h labour for swap and coding per GM flat-rate manual [Opel Labour Guide, 2022].
