How To Remove & Unplug Nissan ECU Engine Control Unit! 3 17 2019

[@rodneymeeks8996]

Thank you so much for making this video! The Nissan dealership was going to charge me $2800 to replace the ECM & Immobilizer. I bought both of them on eBay for $127. Thanks to your video, now I can replace it myself.

[@macdaddypimpping]

Glad it helped!

Hello guys I have question if I replaced my for used one do I still take to the dealership and programed or not

omg y no dice si reprogramo la ecu o no

[@cesarlevano9391]

Does the number on ecu have to be the same or they could just program any ecu

[@zombie9213]

I have same question.

[@zombie9213]

If you look closely all the numbers match same to same except the last 4 numbers on both are different which I think is normal.

Amazing video just purchased a Nissan hatchback 2012 and it keeps shutting off thank you for this video.

[@RobertGuido]

Thank you very much for this video they told me my ECU and PCM which I guess is a related board for my 2009 Xterra they wanted to charge me $1,800 to replace those two alone and it might be even more. I knew that they were telling you the truth on the parts but they made it sound like it was too technical. I understand computers so I knew they were trying to snowball me.

[@emmanuelikechiamadi4878]

Pls how much will it cost to get a ECM (Brain box)

[@macdaddypimpping]

I got mine from eBay, back then was like $120.

[@floof3167]

For a 2014 Nissan Versa they run ~$400 preprogrammed. For other make/models I’ve seen em both higher and lower.

[@hggm7855]

Thank you for the video. How do we program it??

[@macdaddypimpping]

Dealer or 3rd party specialist that knows what they are doing, eBay also have seller that can program from your VIN#.

[@RogerDema07]

Have a 07 s model. Replaced ecu with one from the junkyard and still won't start but the P0605 code is gone. Will reprogramming it fix the issue?

[@macdaddypimpping]

Yes, it would because the keyfob didn't match with your original VIN#.

The number on the white sticker must match with your old one or else it's not compatible.

[@macdaddypimpping]

ECM, should located behind the cigarette lighter adapter or below the radio console.

[@soniarican6275]

Just a little advice for everyone, Before changing any car parts I would highly recommend wiping everything down clean , with a Rag & Brush because you can cause contamination inside the part that you are swapping out 🤷🏽‍♀️💯

[@macdaddypimpping]

Good tip!

[@Tya2019]

Thanks a lot 🙏 💓

Tub'O'Towels from Home Depot or Amazon is great for removing grease and grime from parts and is a great hand cleaner as well.

[@Anythingispossible504]

Hey hope your still on here. I was wondering so basically your saying. With the PCM your able to replace it your self ? Then just get a mechanic to do it ? Because Nissan want 700+ for that part 😢

[@macdaddypimpping]

Try eBay for PCM service or reprogram or locally, good luck.

I have p0605 code showing. Do i need to replace new ECU/ECM for this?

[@macdaddypimpping]

What repairs can fix the P0605 code? 1. Repairing a faulty ground or power supply such as corroded components and damaged wiring. 2. An Engine Control Module update, reprogramming or reflash (if applicable) 3. Replacing the ECM.

[@sudeshnathapa1590]

[@ElChuyChullano]

how do you reprogram the ecu

[@charlesharrison7705]

You mentioned something about this old one could maybe be re-progammed. So, why not just re-program it rather than replace it? Can the dealer re-program it for you and then you install it?

[@macdaddypimpping]

Never go to a dealer, find online or ebay that you can give your vin# and they will reprogram or program the one that you are going to purchase with your car info.

The ECU is located on the floor directly behind the radio. You do NOT need to remove any glove box, dash, or vents to access it. There is a black plastic cover with 2 round plastic snaps that cover the ECU. From the driver's side, the cover is directly beside the gas pedal.

You have to get the same one from eBay eg. HN5/J8 or look for the same number that's on your ECU, some seller that sells ECU that will program thru your VIN# and are plug and play and some required re-programming. Be sure to unplug all the power before you swap the ECU and search how to relearn online. Good luck.
