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

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.

[@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!

Wow! You are so patiently showing n explaining how to replace ECU. I think my versa 2000 really needs an ECU replacement or reprogramming the box. My mechanic asked me to go to the dealer to do this reprogramming. Where are you located. I would rather ask you!

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?

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.
