Volvo XC90 2005 immobilizer problem

[@brooksn.barker5793]

1993 Chevy Lumina 3.8L dies while driving. Starts good runs good for 15 miles at most then dies. Will not restart right away. Have to wait 30 mins to an hour then will start up fine and drive fine for another 15 miles and die again. Its not overheating. No check engine light. Have changed fuel pump fuel filter plugs wires. Sensors would trigger check engine light always? Actually its SERVICE ENGINE SOON on this car. Unless there is also a CHECK ENGINE LIGHT thats malfunctioning. that would make sense.

Thank you! Should've watched THIS before putting it in the shop! My van was sitting in my yard waiting for my turn signal relay. Ran just fine before that. Replaced the relay went to start it...NOPE! Thought it was the fuel pump, just got off the phone with the mechanic and he said-"well, it's NOT the fuel pump, sounds like it's the ecu." Dang it! When I tried using my OBD reader it malfunctioned, well....that explains it!

[@dntlss]

Excellent video,remember this, the newer your car is the more unlikely scenario that your ECM is bad unless it was in a flood or some catastrophe like that, a lot of ECM's have capacitors in them and capacitors have a lifespan like everything else,some of these capacitors control or "help" the processors make decisions and if they are leaking their guts out (which they do as they age) then you start having problems,they start minor and get worse as they get older and leak some more, this usually happens 10\15 years or so in the life of the car, less these days because the electronics are cheaply made. These problems need to be addressed promptly as the stuff they leak is corrosive to the board and what started as a simple problem will take out a nice chunk of the board overtime and cost you much more in the end,the only way to find out about this is to have a visual look at your ECM,you dont have to be a scientist or some super duper electronics specialist to conduct a visual inspection,it will be screaming at you as soon as you see it,sooooo if you have been replacing things you thought were bad and have checked and double checked everything and you still have issues more than likely its your board.

[@giveme10feet]

Thx, will chk it out 👌👍!

[@theartist837]

Simple and to the point. I think this is the problem I’m experiencing with my 2004 jeep. I heard that Jeep’s are bad about that. I’m driving and stall out. It’ll start back up, after a time but I’ve changed the TPS, the coil packs, the oil sending sensor and still my jeep dies, randomly! I’m so frustrated.

[@alanBastard]

Did you change the crank sensor? My 1.8T Audi would cut out when warmed up. Took about 20-30 mins to cut out. Took 45mins to cool down then it would start

2009 Kia Sorento, check engine light came on months prior to this: had occasional symptoms of possible clogged catalytic converter or even maybe fuel pump issues, drove it home one night, no new issues, next morning it crunk up but wouldn't go in reverse and acceleration in drive was very minimal and no power. Drove about 4 miles and it cut off, popped hood and seen that the transmission fluid and blown back out the dipstick, added more fluid, cut it off and back on and it was as if nothing had happened at all. Drove about 2 miles to store, got gas, drove about 1/8 of a mile and there was a grinding sound if you will, car cut off and would not start back up (acted like it had a dead battery) I let it roll in neutral to my yard, where it remains. It wouldn't crank back up then, 6/7 hours later I try to crank again and it would as long as I sit in the gas pedal. I check and confirm all fluids are good and leave it be for the night. Next morning it cranks up with no problem at all but now when I put it in gear it won't move, revs up, but in no gear will it move... Any advice on what I have going on here?

Hey man, did you replace the ECU on your car? I have random loss of power on my car when it's warmed up and it loses power even more on these hot summer days, the car is Audi A4 B7 1.9 TDI, I've checked and replaced everything, injectors tested, new turbo, new N75 valve, blanked EGR valve, intake and exhaust clean, new MAF and MAP sensor, new tandem pump, checked vacuum hoses and still I wasn't able to solve the problem, regular maintenance is done even before it should be, engine timing also fine, all filters changed etc. Let me know if replacing the ECU solved your acceleration problems, because I have replacing my ECU on my mind soon...

[@RD-xh9ss]

Haven't changed out ECU. I understand there's a guy in Dallas area who works on/replaces ECU's. But I don't know it thats specific for LS 400's only. Man you've done a lot of work to your Audi. GL

Hi I am a fan and watch your videos. I Do have a situation and hoping I get some direction. I have a question on 2004 suzuki that cranks but not start , and no comm issue and but have proper ground and power on pins 4,6 , and 16 on the DLC . Also ECU is not grounding the control wire on the fuel pum relay control wire, therefore no power on fuel pump. However, I noticed igintion fuse that power fuel pump also powers the ecu and the spark plugs, that wire if I cut it from the fuse now the cut wire stilled attached to ecu shows ground. with a light test This supposed to be power but shows ground when disconned from the fuse does this mean there is a short in the ECU? Also the ECU is not grounding the control wire for fuel pump relay as I said. Would you say the ECU is shorted?

Okay so I have a problem with my 2000 mustang GT, it won't start it has fuel it has spark it has air and I've checked the grounds they're fine, but my car still won't start it will start on starting fluid but won't keep running, starting to think it's my ECM but I don't know I took it out and looked at the motherboard it all looks fine no corrosion or anything could the ECM just gone bad?

I have code P0505 on my truck saying "Idle Air Control System". I replaced the Idle Air Valve and still have the check engine light, any ideas?

[@JohnEBlaze-ow5tp]

I went through this with my 2011 Altima right before Christmas of 21. It took me a couple of weeks to make the educated guess that my ECM was bad. It kept throwing P0705 Shift Range sensor but I pur 2 new ones on it and didn't fix it. I even did the multimeter pin test someone recommended on all 3 and they passed so after much research I got one from a place online (cheaper than going to Nissan) when I got it all installed the car wouldn't run. I called them, they asked me to see if I can find out why it's not running. I said way ahead of you, it's not getting fire to the plugs. So they sent me a shipping label and asked me to send both of mine back so they could clone the original and flash theirs and send it back. When I got them back it worked. I never had another problem until yesterday. I went somewhere and when I went to go home, it's in limp mode again just like last time. When I checked the code, same damn code P0705😡 I still had a new switch and just for aguement sake I tried it and just like last time, I think it screwed my ECM again. It's only been a year and a half since I fixed this and about 4000 miles (my car only has 60 000 miles on it and I bought it new) at this point I'm ready to soak it in gasoline and burn it to the ground, I'm not gonna keep fixing the same problem at the ridiculous expense that frequently. Bought it brand new and these problems are getting ridiculous. I'll NEVER own another Nissan again, I don't give a damn if they paid me to take a truck load of them.

[@dntlss]

Have you heard of ECU xchange out of Florida? wasn't sure if thats where you sent your stuff to, they are really solid people and might be able to help you out, you could have a bad ground thats messing up your ECM's, not trying to be argumentative and i have never owned a Nissan in my life but all cars are the same pretty much,they all have a quirk that causes them to have issues,granted 60 thousand miles is nothing,you shouldn't be having any problems and it sounds like your mechanically inclined, sorry for your troubles, when the car is not running right is a major source of frustration,been there many times.

This is describing almost exactly the problem I'm experiencing except for the shifting problems. Engine light code reads as an oxygen rich problem, but after switching out the ignition coils, spark plugs, both oxygen sensors, air filter, and also checking for air leaks...the problem persists. Then i remember getting a high pressure car wash, and water was leaking into the driver compartment. Thats when all the problems began with engine light, reduced power light, and traction control lighs all turning on....This is most likely the problem.

My Toyota Rav 4 2000 yr with a 2.0 litre petrol engine when run upto normal estm temp thr green Econ light comes on yhen thr rngine misses runs rough sny ideas whats causing it

[@PedroFernandez-os3nn]

How about power steering my 08 cadillac cts has power steering problems after the start of vehicle once you go down the road, gets stiff, had the power steering checked everything was fine, it was plugged with a scanner and was told the computer could be the problem, is that possible and does the pcm have control of the power steering if not do you or anyone reading this have knowledge of how many modules the cts has?

So i have a 06 town car and the wrench popped up and car stopped i waited a few minutes and had to start it again. Would this be a ecm? Also i do have engine light on that is giving me a o2 sensor code too.

[@JoshuaGuerrero-fi7di]

Wow . Wish I would’ve seen this video sooner . Now the car won’t even start and these are all the issues I had up to this point . I changed so many other things and spent money on so many other parts .

[@omedazim9931]

If my car is tuned is it possible it can just throw this code because it's not used to the tune on the ecm? And if so if I clear should it be good? No problems starting up at all.

I'm having issues with my 05 nissan pulsar. The cam and crankshaft sensors have been replaced, but now there is no spark. Sometimes it does turn over and sometimes it doesn't.

[@donatpalushi3467]

my car have all this signs,and also p1351 code on odb! do i have to change all acm,or need to see where the problem is located? if anyone can advise me i’ll appreciate it

[@rp17rionda]

Intermittent all crank nonstart is an ecu problem? Changed fuel pump and relay already but still happening

[@ginoasci2876]

Does anyone know if the ECU controls detonation and if that could cause engine knocking, even temporary knocking where the engine could knock for a minute or two while warming up then run fine ?

[@foo6851]

My car has a random misfire then it stalls out sometimes when I stop and I noticed the horn sounds different sometimes when I lock it idk what it is

[@michaeldennis7952]

May I ask i have a 1996 chevy suburban 5.7 k 1500. Starts and runs like new unless its summer time. Turn it off to run in the store and come out and it won't start until the next morning,fires right up then! The fuel pressure is perfect and it has a new distributor,plugs,wires,coolent temp sensor none of wich fixed this issue. NO check engine lights on! In the winter months this problem goes away. Thanks for the advice!?👍👍

I have check engine light, blinking cruise light, and shifting issues. Then I reset the ECM and they go away, however then later after driving a while they come back. So is my ECM going bad?

[@jaycrook5195]

Can somebody tell me what's wrong with my Dodge ram 1500 SLT 2007 I put a brand new computer module in it and now it won't say anything but when I put the old one back in it crank up but when I put the used one in everything comes on except it will not crank up it won't say anything and somebody tell me what is wrong

[@milkasworld6867]

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@rileynelson1864]

Can bad ecm cause p2138 code I've replaced everything from pedal throttle body and wiring pigtail, it still goes to limp mode and throws same code

[@paultrea133]

So. I have all this and my gauges were going haywire as well.. now it won't start... ECM or back ground connection?

[@bennygonzales7203]

My ls460 which is know to have PCM issues in the 2007s have amlost all of these syntoms it says I have miss fires on the whole right side of my engine but it idols fine but has a visible miss fire in the rpms during acceleration only getting it up to 3k rn no higher because I don't want to break anything too expensive... My power train is under warranty still so I'm not to concerned but I'll update if that was the issue

[@elkuartostudio]

I do not have any codes related to the ecm, but the cat converter and the oxygen sensor are going bad after replacing them again.

[@gambinodanny4573]

If code P060A do I need to replace the ecm

[@1shorte4wssj21]

PLEASE....I NEED HELP. 2012 FORD FUSION 3.0 WITH NO COMM, NO CRANK, NO START. THE PCM RELAY IS NOT WAKING UP. IF I GIVE GROUND TO THE PCM RELAY, THE CAR PCM WAKES UP. I BELIEVE IT IS NOT RECEIVING AN IGNITION SIGNAL? ANY IDEAS? PLEASE HELP THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

[@-saviorvx.2168]

my alternator went out and the car died 3xs or i meant the power went out multiple times completly dead...will that cause damage to ecm because my enginelight flashes but when i turn my engine it goes away ,my shift works but it stays on 4-5 i afto use the cvt to shift it, and i notice it sluggisjh everything works but i really think its a sensor or ecm..ever since it happened these problems occur, nd my alarm doesnt sound off anymore ,my radio also falted till i switched a fuse, i think it killed the fuses
