Program Used HONDA ECM / ECU With Autel

[@robinsonsmotorcycleandauto3929]

Not really programming but doing the immobilizer setup and writing of vin. Good idea to see if there is updates available for a used ECM.

[@GoTechTraining]

I agree, not your traditional software programming as required by a lot of manufactures. Good point that we did not mention, it is always good to look for any relevant updates to the controller after installation. I was glad a used controller could actually be used, with all the one time use modules out there, unless you do cloning or EEPROM work. Thanks for watching! Ryan Wilsing. Technical Instructor

Yeah which model scan tool are you using to manipulate the computer to do what you want

[@themadoreo6482]

How can you update it?

[@mikechiodetti4482]

Good fix. This one was lucky the used module worked in this vehicle, also that the immobilizer and vin could be changed.

Hi Mike, Right! With the one time use module these days, it is a breath of fresh air to be able to use a previously used module in a vehicle! Ryan Wilsing, Technical instructor

Excellent fault diagnosis on the pervious video to this and then the follow up. Did you end up replacing all four injectors?

[@bjornhijink198]

Hello I changed the ECU and programmed the keys, I cannot change the VIN, it sais this Function is not Suppported on this Vehicle, it is a Honda Accord 2.4 from 2003. It looks like everything is functioning, I can start the car and have no faults when I scan it. Only what I have is the orange warning light with the orange triangle with exclamation mark. Do you have an idee what my problem can be?

[@jameslastname9171]

Any of the less expensive Autels for a DIYer that have this capability?

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey James, I think you need the pro level tool for it...not sure though, sorry. Would be a great question for the Autel Facebook groups. ~Mike

[@jasonstanfield444]

Can you do a video about the evap system on a 2007 4runner, I've tried a gas cap, but it wasn't a Toyota brand, I also replaced the purge valve solenoid, and the hoses from the solenoid to the metal like going to the tank. And the hose from the solenoid to the intake. I need to know how to troubleshoot it right and a detailed info about the other components. Please thanks

[@GoTechTraining]

HI Jason, What trouble codes is your 4runner setting? ~Ryan Wilsing

[@jasonstanfield444]

P0441, p0455, and p0456

[@GoTechTraining]

Hey Jason, One thing I would be careful of, is if the aftermarket gas cap is sealing properly, make sure to inspect the sealing surface of the filler neck where the cap seals. Assuming that it is, this vehicle runs a pretty complex EVAP system. It uses a leak detection pump located on the canister to force pressure in the system and check the system for leaks. The codes you have stored are all EVAP system leak codes. The only sure way to test the system is to use a smoke machine to pressure test the system for leaks. This will determine if the system has an actual leak or if the leak detection pump has failed and is causing a false leak code. If you can find a leak using a smoke machine the fix is simple, repair what is leaking smoke. If the system is sealed then you must determine if the leak detection pump has failed or a wiring issue with the pump has caused it to operate incorrectly. I hope it helps, I know it is a lot of information. If we get a Toyota in with this system, we will be sure to film a diagnostic video with more details. ~Ryan Wilsing

[@jasonstanfield444]

Thank you it was helpful

[@loden888]

I'm finding that I'm pausing your video so I can see the ECM mounting brackets so I can remove my part. It would be useful to see how it is removed from the car.

@@GoTechTraining Hi! Great diagnosis! Would you mind sharing your favorite top 3 or 5 diagnostic tools and what is the category in which one beats the others or the category in which each one shines in your opinion?

[@ovidiumonoranu367]

@@GoTechTraining And please what exactly Autel scanning tool did you use in these two episodes?

[@GoTechTraining]

Hi Ovidiu, that's a tough question to answer. I definitely have a few scan tools that are on my top list to use, such as the Snap-on Verus and the Autel Maxisys. But I have to mention there are a lot of scan tools I have not had a chance to use yet. As far as which one shines in what category, that question is even harder to answer. This is because each scan tool's coverage and features can change depending on the car make and model. While one scan tool works best for EVAP on a 2000 GM, another scan may work best on EVAP for a 2000 Toyota. I recommend when buying scan tool, first decide which type of coverage or options you need, (for example, data graphing, immobilizer relearns, bi-directional controls) Then choose one that fits closest to your needs. Thanks for the question! Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor

[@AlexC80]

What model Autel is it??

[@petar443]

Nice one.👍 Hey i have a question. I've read MotorAge article that when programing modern car modules, the car need to have stable power supply hooked to the battery. Not battery charger, not battery maintainer, but "stable power supply". These things are extremly expensive , the one i found - "Schumacher" is nearly 700$. Do you think this is a lie just to sell the equipment. Can i use just a battery charger ?

[@GoTechTraining]

Hi Petar, In this video, the used PCM already has the operating software programed into it. We are relearning the security immobilizer and re-writing the VIN. When programing most manufactures ECMs/PCMs the modules are either blank or need software written into the module for them to operate. This can take time, sometimes hours and the battery could get dangerously low, very quickly. When a module is being programed sensitive data is transferred between module and the interface used. This data can become corrupt if too much dirty or A/C voltage gets into the system. That being said anytime you program a module it is recommended to use a stable (clean D/C voltage) power supply. The use of a normal battery charger can easily cause a module to fail during programing. Which will cause the module to brick. If a stable power supply is not available you can use a fully charged jump pack to help maintain voltage but a D/C maintainer is ideal.

[@petar443]

@@GoTechTraining Thank you so much. Very well explained 👍

[@ovidiumonoranu367]

@@GoTechTraining HI! I'm not a native English. So please what do you mean by 'a fully charged jump pack'?

[@GoTechTraining]

@Ovidiu, a jump pack is essentially a unit that consists of a car battery with jumper cables attached to it. They are used to jump start vehicles with dead battery's or to help maintain battery voltage when testing.
