I have been following Eric O for a long time and he goes above and beyond any normal shop. Thank you for helping him out. Cheers from Jim in New Zealand.

“The juice isn’t worth the squeeze”. Nicely said!

Great video! Eric's diagnostic video brought me to this and it was extremely helpful to see the repair procedure for the issue he diagnosed. I'm now a new subscriber to your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos and seeing some of the behind the scene repairs. Thank you!!

Eric O sent me to make sure your work checks out. I give you A+

I watch most of SMA's videos. Best mechanic I know, not just because of his knowledge, but he takes the time to do the jobs right and has no problem passing it on to his viewers. Your name comes up quite a bit along with Ivan's, and Eric speaks very highly of the both of you. It's just nice to see different techs of different areas of the industry work together to help the little guy (like me) keep our rides on the road without having to worry about if it was done right, without any of the extra BS. Thanks Keith. (SUBSCRIBED)

Nice work. I watch Eric all the time, you're the guy he mentioned, with confidence, who would do the VIN transfer. Every auto mechanic/tech needs a guy like you.

Great job, Keith staying on the leading edge of this tech. How else are people going to keep driving their cars?

You ragged on Eric and gave us the finger! Great video, I'll be back to watch more. I really like the idea of repairing things instead of junking them and I'm sure Eric's customer is really happy to have it repaired.

I'm amazed that this VIN switch could not be made without taking it all apart and hard wiring into the board itself. Great job!

You and Eric are way above smart. Like you said, different skill sets and I appreciate your knowledge and technical abilities.

A bit more difficult than filing the points on my old Chevy.

Eric O for President!

Great video. Sent here by Eric O. Many years ago I was a mechanic in the US Navy Seabees. I got out and went to Ct school of Electronics. My instructor always talked about fixing and testing the control modules in vehicles. We like the convenience of all the bells and whistles but don't like the repair bill!!!. I now do systems in buildings-fire alarm, sound-clock-pa, intrusion access control, etc. We have the same problem keeping the older systems working and storing files and sometimes have to keep older laptops going. I appreciate your efforts and what it takes to make all this happen. Imagine troubleshooting a building for cable problem and not just a vehicle. Great video and I hope this helps people appreciate your skill set. thank you Bill Compton

Glad there's people out there like you to help keep obsolete stuff in service eric o is extremely capable great guy.

Always watch Eric's videos. It's nice to see your handoff. New sub. Im a part time mechanic x3 generations of full time mechanics, and a full-time cybersecurity/electronic engineer. So it's a nice blending of the two. Keep up the good work.

This actually (to me) seems like a pretty simple process. Almost like programming old school Eproms which I still do to keep vintage pinball and videogames running.

Well done! Nice to know you have the tools for this work and can save the customers some money.

This is waay above my level. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

Fun video series! Hats off to both you guys!

Eric O is an amazingly talented Mechanic, you sir are also a very talented technician. Thanks for sharing what you do.

Hey there, Keith, and im WELCOMING myself to the L1 Automotive Training channel!!! Got us sitting inside this package, two PCMs from a Hi-Un-Day... both from a Sonata, got the big 2.4L engine! Nice Eric O impersonation if i say so myself lol

Eric O sent me ! Glad he did very cool to watch you at work. Awesome video.

I watched Eric's video and I had to see what it was you did to get his customer back on the road. Great work.

Been a long time sub of Eric O's. I am also a technician myself with almost 10 years experience. I loved the jabs you gave Eric on this one; but I know it's all good fun. Eric is one heck of a auto tech. I see him as a mentor through his video's. He's done more then I have in my decade of auto mechanics.

Absolutely amazing to see this done!

❤ Don’t know how I got here from Mr. O’s shop but glad I did. As now I know you are another genius. Congratulations 😊😊

I enjoyed it! Thanks for opening up the world of bits and bytes!

This is a great complement to Eric O’s video. Eric knows when to go-to guys on the next level. That he knew of your services and capabilities is a testament to both of you. In this modern age it’s not just the service tech in the auto repair shop who has a parts room or access to the local NAPA, but has the knowledge and experience to know how to use the systems. Thanks

I been watching Eric since he started up and there is a reason I still watch him, he is an amazing mechanic ( notice I said Mechanic ) most new techs today can't fix anything unless there is a check engine light. He is a very good guy and family man. Most of all he is honest.

Good job at transferring the vin data from the original PCM to the donor PCM. It is awesome that they're people like you around to help to repair things instead of buying new. Not everything is junk but unfortunately these days people don't fix things anymore. It seems they think throw it out and buy new. Thank you for your skills with electronics and also for helping Eric O in satisfying customers that are on a budget. You and Eric O are two true technicians in your fields of work.

I love Eric O and Ivan have learned many things watching them both and when push comes to shove they know to come to the Jedi Master and You and Bernie Thompson truly take it to the next level. Thanks so much for all your help for the automotive techs out there big and small that truly need that Next Level that you provide. Have a great one Keith

Thankyou for showing us how you fix these parts I love that you can fix them at all amazing work

SMA is terrific, thanks for the collaboration

Very cool 😎 glad Eric O introduced your channel to me

Thanks for sharing Keith... Cheers.

Great video! You guys keep up the great work!!!

Eric sent sent me over here lol. I'm old school when it comes to working on vehicles and the most I've ever done with pcm's is swap them out but this was interesting to watch, nice fix.

Good job! When Eric O asks for someone's help, I know that individual must be very talented!

glad to see you could help our buddy

Two of the Best technicians that I have had the pleasure to watch them doing their crafts!

We appreciate you guys! Thank you for the help on the Subaru hybrid last week. The one with the AVCS learned value that would not adapt to the new timing set at SameDay.

Eric O's video lead me here and I'm glad it did since I didn't know about your channel and your capabilities/services for this type of VIN workaround -- very cool! I find it odd, though, that the PCB indicated Siemens yet the reference pic chip layout was that of a Continental board. 🤔 Glad it worked out for you, Eric, and most importantly, Eric's customer, who I'm sure will be thrilled with the result and I assume bang for the buck savings too. Suggestion: you should add Eric's ending slogan to your videos for all jobs he sends your way, but change it to, "And remember viewers, if we can do it, you can do it." 😁 👍

I watched Eric when worked on this car. What you and Eric O does is Fantastic stuff..

Love eric and SMA, thanks for sharing, eric definitely has a very smart friend!!!

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, I learn so much…I was on the fence between an AlienTech Kess 3 and the Hexprog II but ended up going with the Kess, was wondering what are your thoughts on one vs the other..

Great video Keith as always!! Love both yours and Eric’s content

I've been following SMA's videos for a very long time... love watching him diagnose because of his awesome skillset! His channel brought me to your channel... now subscribed and love your content too!

Cool to see the man behind Eric O. 😂 Seriously, though, cool to see your vid linked to his to see this through. Thanks for bringing us along!!

I watched Eric O's video on the Hyundai he was fixing. Its nice to see your part in this repair. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Great great info sir...cheers

Good to see you Keith came over To see what happened to the PCM Eric O from South Main Auto LLC was working on and diaged was bad

Great job and video. Just wish there was someone like you in England. 👍

Glad this showed up on my recommendations, I was curious what the actual process looked liked.

That Eric O hack sent me here! Very interesting fix. Perhaps you can rehabilitate my 93 Ranger computer?

between $500.00 and $2000.00 dollars! No wonder Eric O doesn't have one of these laying around... The fact of knowing when to hand off the work to someone else more specialized makes Eric one of the greats. He got Ivan into the RU-vid business. Eric could be called the daddy of the Automotive RU-vid group:) Together with scannerdanner. I love watching all of them, I just hope to one day be in you guys' group.

Sent by Eric O. Enjoyable video. Subscribed.

so nice that Eric linked this after his video

thanks Keith, great video!

Came over from SMA, I think I’ll stick around awhile. It’s nice to watch pros do what they do.

yea i came here from Eric also. He is a excellent communicator that can bring everything down to my level.

Awesome. I came over from SMA. Nice video, good job on the fix. I would have enjoyed watching the actual solder work, but still a good video for sure. I have SMT experience, so this is interesting enough to bring me back for more videos.

Two days ago watched Erics video, and was kind of sad that didn't see what happens to the PCM. And today I'm opening youtube and boom, the first recommendation is this video from a channel I've never heard of. Nice.

Wow, fascinating work!!

Your skill set is awesome! You are to be commended for repairing what would scare us normal maintainers.

Nice work. Funny I just watched Eric’s video this morning and this popped up as a suggested video. Guess we now know what Eric’s customer decided to do.

I'm glad you put the disclaimer in the end, I would have had lots to say other wise, Eric O is an excellent Tech. He has a good skill set for diagnostic work.

I would say you are a great help to the used auto industry.

Nicely done! Yes, I came from Eric's video.

Well done Keith. As you point out....this aspect is computer repair....a skill set you have mastered...among others. Well done. And too bad you have to tell folks...don't stress I'm just tugging Eric O's chain.

Will done. The both of you guys are great 👍

Shame on the manufacture for locking the vin, and not being able to provide replacement parts. Car is bricked if you are just going by what the manufacture provides

Eric from SMA shouted your channel out so i had to come and show some support! 😎👌

Excellent job. Now i know who to call for this service if needed. Thanks!

Another viewer here from Eric O's channel. Subscribed and look forward to seeing more vids here. Cheers from Michigan

Eric O does great instructional videos. It's neat to see how you repair the pcm.

Eric, oh sent me. I really enjoyed watching this fix. I’ll be back!

Its nice to know people. Keep up the good work

You got me on the title.. LOL As Eric always says...If I can do it, you can do it. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from that Old Jarhead in WNC

It is great to see practical electronics work in action. You speak my language. 🙂

Thanks for the video. Pretty cool.

Eric is a fantastic engineer and lovely guy. It makes sense that he doesn't spend the (possibly) thousands of Dollars to aquire the necessary software and hardware to do this and other functions, its not cost efective. Luckily there are guys like you who do. Cracking program and very interesting, at least I have seen it done now :) Thanks :)

Eric O is a genius! Wish I had a mechanic with even a quarter of his knowledge and thoroughness near me.

Good to see the follow up of one of Eric O’s jobs when he needs to get some expert technical assistance. Thanks for bringing us along while you did the fix.

great yall work together was a fun case study mr o is the boss

I knew you were just having fun and I know Eric is a very good mechanic. You are very good at your skill set. Eric said you were but I just lucked out by finding your page. Great job.

It was great to see the follow up from SMA to have you do the computer, great video

Thanks for the SMA assist ! ! ! ! !

I like this video,thanks to ERIC for pointing it out.i mess with laptops,hardware side.I've always said the programing side is where you use your brain,you made it look easier ,but i can tell you it's not.I'll stick to swapping out HDs and motherboards.You've earned another sub.thanks buddy.

South main is a quality joint! Thanks for helping him out

Thats cool. I used to "Hobby Edit" HEX with an editor, back in the day, mostly working on Hard Drives, but some programmable memories as well. Someone did a lot of research work on what signal and enable wires to connect where and even having that PCB connection's location available was an added bonus. I've seen where the wires needed to be directly soldered to the chip leads, or recommended removing the chip, reprogramming, resoldering back to the board....installing a socket if necessary.... but that's probably old school. Nice to see it done simply and efficiently.

That was fascinating. Very cool. Came over from SMA to see.

Now here’s a channel that’s really worth subscribing to!!!👍.

Great job, thanks for sharing! I've been a long-time member of your online training, and I haven't seen you upload in a long time, any plans to give more classes?

When i saw the title i was like, really?? I get it now. ERIC is one of the best at what he does. I was glad you could help him and his customer out.😊

Good on Eric good on you great video keeping it real.

Good friends who help each other out also rag on each other, it's required.

This timing on this video is great. I just did something similar on a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse that came into my shop. A previous shop basically ruined this car and was able to save its life. They had blown two relay drivers in the PCM, bent fuses internally, broken the fuel pump relay internally, installed the fuel injectors incorrectly and missed the hole (how do you even do that?), and the worst one is they lost the keys. These have transponder keys, and my local dealerships no longer have the cables and software (MUT-III with the VCI-lite box) to relearn the keys. So like you said, this thing was a paperweight. I wasn't aware direct flash readers with wiring schematics for automotive ECMs existed. This reminds me a lot of doing an RGH3 mod on my Xbox 360. I'll definitely be looking into that product. For this Eclipse I used an adapter by Tactrix that allows you to directly read and write the flash ROM. I found a tiny bit of info online about a way to disable the immobilizer, but there was little concrete information. I wanted to make sure before I randomly changed stuff around that I making the correct modification. Did some reverse engineering on the ROM software, found the main loop, and then verified the bits I was changing would skip the immobilizer subroutine. After verifying that, I modified the ROM (in HxD of course, the BEST free hex editor). I replaced the blown transistors in the ECU and it started right up! Then I dealt with the original problem they took it to the previous shop for, a very high idle of 2500 RPMs. The IAC motor had shorted, blowing the SPF5002 driver chip, which I also replaced along with the IAC motor. I like the last bit where you say "This is well outside the bounds of what any normal shop is doing". You are absolutely right. I felt that same exact way when I heard this thing run for the first time. By all rights it should be sitting in a junkyard right now, instead the owner is incredibly happy and driving it every day. Just wanted you to know there are at least a few other shops doing this, and as we go further down the road I feel this type of effort will be required to overcome intentional manufacturer limitations when they decide to stop supporting their vehicles. I wanted to ask, do you ever do any software reverse engineering when you are addressing these types of problems? It's a real pain, not only do you need to know assembly but also the correct flavor for each specific processor (this Eclipse was a Hitachi SH-4 which IDA Pro supported). The reason I ask is because I was playing around trying to figure out how the immobilizer subroutine worked and I found this one uses DES encryption to encrypt the stored transponder key values. Thankfully this one had an easier way to skip the immobilizer completely, but I think it would have been quite difficult to manually write the transponder key values into the ROM. I could have figured it out eventually but didn't want to invest that much time.

This is way outside of my skill set. You made this look so easy.

Nice job and you are correct in saying very expensive equipment and different skill set.
