If you have a bad ecu send it out to flagship one. You have to buy one but they program it to your vin number. I replaced mine by myself. Big thanks to Rusty for this detailed video

You are the man Sean A!

I like to watch your videos a lot, I learn many things that you put

Thank you🦁😊😊

[@shawnwright240]

This is so so helpful. I have 2004 maxima. Hope it is same procedure

[@theguy2605]

How did that work out for you? Also , how did you program it again and id so how much was it to reprogram

[@shawnwright240]

@@theguy2605 Used a place in Illinois I found on E-bay. Great people. It was tested and showed no faults. They refused part of my money. I think it was $60 instead of $98 or something like that. ECU was not the issue. It was ABS device.

Aye Man Great Video , Read Someone In The Comments Say They Order A ECM On Flagship , I Did As Well Waiting For Part Now & Thanks To This Video Finna Install Myself Now ! 🐐

Hi did you find out the color of the wires?

[@apb38]

I have a 2013 Maxima but looked at your video cause its all I could find and it was beautiful to see how easy yours was. I can only hope mines is in a similar position.

[@ricebike]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfEd2OQl5qke6s your ECU is right next to the battery, just like other year 2007+ nissans

[@rusty505whp]

Thank you

[@zachnuketown]

Fuckin nissans. I can't wait to get this turd fixed so I can trade it in on honda.

[@rusty505whp]

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@wolfiedagger2287]

If the part number is the same and the cars make and model are the same will the ecu still need to be reprogrammed?

[@camachofamily9668]

After your replace the ECM do you have to reprogram it or do I have. To take it to a shop after I install another ECM

[@darealdonp4784]

Can you show the blower fan install

Do you know if the ECU is in the same location for a 2008 Altima Hybrid?

[@rusty505whp]

Yes it is.

[@rnelson4585]

@@rusty505whp How about 2009 Nissan Altima hybrid? same location behind the dash.

[@ricebike]

engine bay next to the battery

[@autumnkarty9328]

Did you have to reprogram it to your car for the ECU? I have the exact same car and I’ve replaced cam/crank shaft, fuel injectors, starter, spark plugs and ignition coils 🙄 It’s not the fuel pump it works as well. It cranks but it doesn’t want to turn over.

[@rusty505whp]

Yes you do.

[@caustictoxicque8693]

I think its this but my 05 Altima gave me P1065 is it the fuel injectors or this

[@chrispynaples]

Is that the ecu or the bcm?

Hello there

Hola

My 2018 Altima ecm is messing up my car will come on but it won’t crank the dealership is telling me 1400 but I think imma try it your way

[@braxtonwarren1666]

Mine is a 04, the key is locked in the fob and all the lights and sounds are going haywire

[@alexquezada510]

What was the issue with the ecu?

[@rusty505whp]

A bad ECU

[@Sroor2023]

Should be same number or i can take any ecu of same year? What i mean i have 2006 2.5 nisaan altia 2006 my computer serial is qu mec35-601-a1 51z5 and i didnt find same can i take any ecu from same year and jist programm a key to make it work ?

[@ulukmankarabaev7882]

happened? I am also replacing the ecu, do I need the same number or does it matter?

You forgot to put square metal clips to hold pcm for not shaking

[@jacobswaney9798]

Did you have to get it programed?

[@rusty505whp]

No need just give it a few minutes to learn.

[@bcoronel01]

@@rusty505whp how many minutes did it take for the new computer learning? I have a 2005 Nissan Sentra. I changed the ECM but it still didn't fix the issue. I guess I may have to program it.

[@rusty505whp]

@@bcoronel01 disconnect the battery terminals several minutes. And reconnect and let it run for a few minutes.

[@bcoronel01]

@@rusty505whp I had the battery disconnected before I installed the ECM. Are you sure your ECM wasn't FLASHED at a Nissan Dealer?

[@rusty505whp]

@@bcoronel01 yes i am sure it was not flashed at the dealership .

[@joslynnchavez9577]

If you get it used will it work? Trying to see price difference on them

[@rusty505whp]

Yes, as long as the used part is in good working condition.

So when you do this on a 2005 Altima do you need to replace any other parts? Or will the transponder key from before still work?

[@rusty505whp]

Yes it will still work.

[@Proxx117]

@@rusty505whp cool, I've been having a crank no start issue on my 05 Altima. The obd2 gets power but won't read anything. No coil spark, fuel pump doesn't engage. Sound like the ECU? I'm just worried that it won't work with my key if I replace just the ECU?

[@cyclonetcracer]

@@Proxx117 did you ever solve this? If so how?

[@atlsooner85]

@Tino Hall I'm wondering the same, I also have a 2005 as well. I replaced the fuel pump same issues. Fuel pump making noises and the relay constantly clicking when power is on, car cranks but no start

[@Brumasterj]

Yep same issues here 2005 crank sensor code came up changed sensor and all codes disappeared, no fire at all. Pulled history on the cars computer and u1000 came up which I assume it means ECU

[@janellebrown5520]

What color wire goes to the ECM in an 05 Altima? Do you know by any chance? Thank you in advance

[@ricebike]

there's like 100 wires going to the ECM

[@Brumasterj]

Make it look to easy

[@DG-vj1mc]

Question. Where is the ECU located on my 2010 Altima hybrid. I am stuck.

[@ricebike]

in the engine bay right next to the starting battery. a smaller TCM is right next to it

[@Class1cars]

Can you tell me where is tcm unit for altima 2007

[@ricebike]

ecu and tcm are both by the battery in the engine bay. smaller one is the tcm

[@patcare372]

So I swapped out my ECU and now the car just cranks and wont' start. what do I do now??

[@zollasautocare6343]

Probably have to get it reprogramed

[@deronfordham8436]

Is it in the spot for an o7?

[@ricebike]

2007+ years, they put the ECU ECM right next to the battery in the engine bay
