Program Used HONDA ECM / ECU With Autel 

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

​@@GoTechTraining Which model is this autl?

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

How can you update it?

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

Hey Mick, thanks! Yeh, this thing got all four of them. Not worth risking ANOTHER PCM haha! Mike Becker, Senior Instructor

Hi Salman, As always thanks for watching! You stay safe as well! Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor

@@GoTechTraining Thanks Ryan, Great work Bro👍

Your Welcome! Thank you for watching! Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor

Hey, thanks Moldesgroot! We used the Autel Maxisys Elite for this job. ~Mike

Hey Shaazy, We used the Autel Maxisys Elite for this job. It's a pretty good all around scan tool for the price. ~Ryan

Great suggestion!

Hello Joseph, I'm glad you like the videos Thank you for supporting the GoTech channel! Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor

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

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

P0441, p0455, and p0456

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

Thank you it was helpful

Hey Michael, I'm jealous, that is a arsenal of great scan tools and I love the cardaq3plus! The Autel used in this video is the MS908s Elite Thanks for checking out the video! Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor

Yeah I'm eyeing up the im608 which is basically the 908 with full key programming...

I have used it, it is a very capable tool

Hello, I know the IM608 will learn the keys I haven't tried a VIN re-write with it Thanks for checking out the video! Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor

Hi What is the autel model version? Thanks

Hey Mezo, We used the Autel Maxisys Elite for this job. It's a pretty good all around scan tool for the price. ~Ryan

Hey Philly, I agree %100, it's always good to have a few tools in your tool box. Every tool shines in in a different category. Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor

@@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?

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

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

The scan tool used in this video is a Autel Maxisys MS908S Elite

Hello, Yeah its really in there, comes out with the bracket. I'll add that next time. ~Ryan

HI Salvador, Thanks for watching the video! Even the best techs can learn something new every day ! Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor

Thanks for checking out the video! Hopefully we get some BCM issues in the future, that would be a great video to make! Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor

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.

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

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

@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.

@@GoTechTraining OK. Thank you!

Hello, What trouble codes is it setting? ~Ryan

Is the alternator putting out any charging voltage? ~Ryan

Hello, In this video we are using an Autel Maxisys Elite ~Ryan

Hey Diego, Thanks for watching! Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor

Hello Martin, Your welcome and thank you for checking out the video! Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor

Hello, The scan tool used in this video is a Autel Maxisys MS908S Elite ~Ryan Wilsing

I have same car and I have same question 😅. I'm having issue with air fuel sensor and I'm convinced after checking wiring and changing o2 sensor its the ecu

Hi Nick, Thanks for tuning in! The scan tool used is a Autel Maxisys Elite Have a good evening as well! Ryan Wilsing, Technical Instructor
