This is a wonderful explanation and demonstration. You have demystified the inner workings of an ECU for me with the clear diagram shown and by pointing out the components on the real hardware. You also have an excellent method of explanation and teaching. Thank you.

[@saudautomation]

You are very welcome, this is very good feedback.

I also repair ecu for mitsubishi and also planning to build this kind of simulating circuit to test if repair of ecu was successful without the actual efi engine. I'm happy that my planned design was almost same with your ecu tester.... These confirm that my planned circuit will work. Thanks for sharing....Saud.

[@saudautomation]

+Roger Sy You are mostly welcome Roger, yes ur right the simulating device is very useful it enables to confirm at least the ECU is accepting the basic inputs then processing and generating the outputs, anyway hopping all the best for you. Thanks

My Audi A4 got a light bump when it rolled down a hill with the ignition off and struck a wall, scratching the paint work But now the central locking doesn't work and the immobilizer flashing light on the door has stopped working. I now must use the key to open the door but the car operates fine otherwise, except dash shows that the boot is open since the accident. .. which of course it isn't. How could I repair that?

Good day sir im from philippines im interested to repair ecu what books i must read

[@reload1531]

i do have a question, when you are simulating cam and crank signals, i know that before the pcm will work the injectors and ignition, it will be looking for specific patterns of the crank and cam, and how they are synced. how are you accomplishing this/ THANK YOU.

[@saudautomation]

Hi, Your point is very valid and correct, in fact what I think in this type of simulation the ECU hardware and program is just reacting to the input signal and not genarating timed output, it keeps trying to adjust the output all the time , this semulation signal is at low RPM and the ECU is not fully functioning and in fact this helping us just to get the output and check the ECU respond, not only that but we can get the injector and ignition output only by providing the crank signal alone without cam signal and also it is giving the output eventhogh the immobilizer is not disabled, I know if you use a semulation device like MST 9000 the ECU generates more timed output signal.

Take multimeter and check the voltage of the one of the ic similar to that ic which is ruined then check the reading and start exploring which ic has the same reading and detach the ic from the other chip then installed the chip into your mother board simple 🔥

[@mehboobalam6956]

Sir,Your all tutorials are full of knowledge like you are giving a Hadia of Zahab!!!!!! I have a question, that on any ckt weather it is a control unit or bcm,how I will came to know that this particular portion is faulty.Do i have to go step by step stage wise, like to check any convention ckt. Apart from getting the fault code. your keen advise is required.

[@saudautomation]

Hi, Depending on the failure mode and fault different troubleshooting approach and technique can be flawed, I for example the complete unit is dead and not responding then I can start to check the supply voltage and the healthness of main microcontroller, but if two or three outputs are not working then I check what is the common component meeting them and replace if required, If one output is no working I start tracing from that output pin going down I keep checking all the components on the way until I get the faulty one. Some test I need to keep the unit off powered and sometime it should be powered on depending.

[@budipriyatno5853]

hi, from ECU's connection diagram in your video, i didn't see connection from immobilizer, in many car equipped with immo, if we try to turn on / ignition the car with 'foreign' key, the car will not send data from immo to ECU, so the car will not start. Is that true? or you have the different opinion, please explain it to me..thanks

[@saudautomation]

Hi, Thanks for the good point. The inputs provided in the diagram was example of basic parameters to ECU as simplified schetch only. Indeed you are right immobilizer system is one of inputs to ECU this can be external transponder ECU in some designs or integrated in the ECU, if non authorized key used then received security code will mismatch to the one saved in ECU eeprom and engine won't start. In fact there is other inputs also like status of gear if neutral or park, brake padle pressed status, IGF for ignition feedback in some cases.

[@kaungaatewau1750]

Thank you for your video, I'm interested. My car Toyota Passo 2006 have a problem with immoboliser as the light was sometimes blinking or unable to start. I need some help cos we don't have any dealer in my country Kiribati. Is it possible to change an ecu with a non-immobolised type?

[@saudautomation]

You are very welcome, There is different ways to deal with this, but first step don't forget to try start by spare key if you have. 1-Try to reset the ECU, by erasing the eeprom data you will need at least some eeprom programmer to do this, then after that you need to register the key again by following key registration procedures you can serch for the procedure forms the web based on your car modle. 2-If you suspect the ECU is defictive, then you can try to clone the eeprom on new ECU, just by removing the eeprom (this is ic with 8 pins) from faulty ECU and use it to replace the same eeprom at new ECU. 3- try to do immobilizer off or delete but you will need programmer and some computer application to do this. All the best

Hi My hiace cannot start cos ecu s got problem. Now we odered for a new one from Japan on Mei, untill now there is no news when it will come to Malaysia. So is it true, it only from Japan, or we can repair it. Can you give any suggestion to fix the poroblem. My hiace manufactured year 2013 Cc 2.8 and patrol fuel. Hopping you help me, please

[@saudautomation]

Hi, I believe you can discuss with your dealer about this, Repairing is normally possible but depending on the failure so not every fault is repairable, as long you already ordered new ECU then that's fine always new ECU is more reliable at all the cases compared to repaird one.

Yes this are very costomized components and not easy to get unless you have the detailed part number, try try to communicate with the car agency if they will help.

[@jameslivingston8650]

@@saudautomation Understood. I have sourced a used ECM that will make my truck run smoothly, but it is for a 6 cyl version of my 4 cylinder engine. I put it in today, and it ran pretty well (they both use inline Fuel Injection pumps, so I don't have to worry about 6 vs 4 cylinders). The boards and pinout are the same, but with the replacement ECM in, it runs at about twice the speed it should at idle (I think the gear that the speed sensor senses is a different size). I don't have Schematics, but I do have all the pinout and the functions of each connector pin. Could I correspond with you to see if I could find a way to solve my problem? Perhaps by email? I have recently purchased a power supply, oscilloscope, and have a diesel engine simulator arriving soon. Thx!!

Sir if I connect vehicle battery connected wrong like +ve and - cables connect opposite which part of ic effect please tell me sir

[@saudautomation]

Hi, Good and important question, In fact most ECU circuit implement diode protection at power input, this with different arengment, sometimes the diode is just connected in reverse so anode to ground therfore if battery power was reversed heavy current pass across the diode and fuse blow. Sometimes the diode is connected forward direction to just block the reverse power also some circuits implements 2 back to back diodes, you can see sometimes mosfet is used to block the reverse power. Anyway if the fuse was slow to blow the reverse power will negtivly afect the ECU circuit, diodes and electric capacitors plus regulator might fail but if the reverse voltage spike reaches the microcontroller or other IC's then for sure microcontroller chip cannot tolerate that most of time and just fail.

[@akshayraveendharan2733]

@@saudautomation thanks for responding my question 🙏 and how can I identified effect diode or moseft

[@saudautomation]

Depending on the failure , is it the ECU not responding and failed totally, at least are you hearing the fuel pump starting after ignition on this can be one indication of ECU status , are you getting the 12 volt reaching the ECU normal after the power reversing, is it blowing the fuse, the protection diode will be close to the 12 B+ input pin.

Anyway... intermittent behaviors are always hardest, aren't they, lol?! Maybe has to do with 5v being ok on air temp sensor but 12v is read on mass air sensor and also on coolant temp sensor?!
