I will say that I do like your diagram. And it is awesome that you have taken the time to put this information out there

@prettyboyswa914 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much saved my life !!!! I wasn't able to use Hp tuners with my truck due to getting "timed out" error after 100th times. so I went to the junk yard and my made the harness and was able to tune within seconds. Thanks again!

Thanks ! Worked perfect!

On the OBD port, LT1SWAP shows different pins for serial and power than you show? Pin 2. - Serial Data - FROM the PCM. Pin 4 & 5 - GROUND - Usually only pin 5 is needed, however some scan tools/code readers will need GROUND on pin 4 as well. Pin 16 - 12v+ BATTERY - Power from 12v+ Battery source.

I just repined my obd2 port to what It said in the video so hopefully it works

Thanks Eric

@iammee1111 Год назад

The power supply you borrowed from work has an output of 12v and 2a or 2000ma. You were reading the input specs.

@twadam5218 Год назад

I recognize that book! :-) Fyi - While it works fine for reading /writing calibrations, I did recently realize that the 'switched power' being separate (using a toggle switch as you mentioned) from the constant is needed for certain cases. I didn't realize when it tells you to turn off the ignition that the PCM goes through a shutdown sequence of sorts.

@LowbuckLS Год назад

Ok, good to know, I might need to add a toggle switch if it causes problems in the future.

@rDLUS 11 месяцев назад

Pin 2 = serial Data Pin 4-5 = ground - Pin 16 = 12v+

@Comm0ut Год назад

When I buy a PCM from self-service salvage I slice off the connectors from the harness and am only charged for the PCM.

@Its_Stretch33 Год назад

So if the power adapter I used has a output of 12v will a 3000mA work? Or should I be concerned about frying the ECM? It’s my first bench harness so I’m not sure how this works…

@LowbuckLS Год назад

That should work fine. It's a little bigger than you'd need but that won't be a problem.

@anthonylambert404 Год назад

What power supply is that? I can't seem to find it on Amazon. Thanks.

@dynomantar9733 Год назад

You can use any ac/dc adapter with 12V--1A output. You can cut one off of all sorts of old electronics, you probly have one in a drawer

@obfuscated3090 Год назад

For insurance a cheap bench supply lets you output more than 12v (a car battery outputting 12v even is below resting voltage and normally won't or will barely start-see battery makers for their resting voltages if curious). Any fifty dollar or so supply with good ratings should do and always verify output voltage using your multimeter. Going over 13v as shown is wise. It's discussed elsewhere. I use 14v to ensure no voltage drop from an imperfect connection.

Hello… my name is Timothy Broce… I’m interested in making the bench harness but I may be interested in having you delete the vats in my 2011 suburban 1500 pcm… one of my kid lost my key and I can’t start my car… how much do you charge and where would I send it…. Thank you T A Broce

@kenken4153 5 месяцев назад

Do you have to remove the PCM to read and write to it ? Is it possible to do it obd port inside the car not take anything apart?

@dbizm 5 месяцев назад

Everything can be done from Inside a complete vehicle. No need to remove anything.

@kenken-sr2vq 5 месяцев назад

Have had that issue that after you install and got the vxdiag nano to work and connect. I can read the pcm properties but cant read the eeprom fails at kernel , connection unlocked and starts then fails.

@kristopherjohnson5782 Год назад

Could I flash a 5.3 and import a 6.0 onto the pcm?

@LowbuckLS Год назад

Yes you can, PCM Hammer has a clone function you can use to copy a 6.0 file onto a 5.3 PCM

Hey, if I use a red/blue connector for my bench harness, can I use if for blue/green computers?

@LowbuckLS Месяц назад

@@antuanperez426 yes it’s the blue connector you’ll be using so it works on both kinds of PCM’s

@jensenhealey907efi 3 месяца назад

I have watched and rewatched this video and you fail to explain if pin 9 on the OBD2 port goes to switched 12V power or if it is supposed to go to constant or battery 12V power

@r.joseph8911 Год назад

what is this “credits” thing about?

@LowbuckLS Год назад

If you’re making changes to a PCM with HP Tuners, you’ll need to purchase at least 2 credits from HP Tuners to write changes to the PCM at about $50 each. You can view the tune for free but need to pay to make changes, it’s part of their business model and how they make money. Newer vehicles with more modules and 8/10 speed transmissions sometimes require more than two credits. But all the stuff I work on is 2 credits per vehicle.

@r.joseph8911 Год назад

@@LowbuckLS awesome, gotcha- and thank you for all the info and time you’ve taken to make these comprehensive videos! I’m brand new to this; Even if I build the DIY bench top tuning harness, I still will have to purchase a tuner “dongle” that plugs into the OBD connection, correct?

@LowbuckLS Год назад

@@r.joseph8911 yes that's correct. I plan on making a video soon going over the various different cables and devices you can use.

@r.joseph8911 Год назад

@@LowbuckLS amazing. Keep up the great work, l will look out for that!! Gonna gather an old harness piece and check out the dongles

@Jason-kn3tw 10 месяцев назад

I've watched so many of these and each every one assumes you have a OBD2 plug cut from a car with the wires attached - be nice if the wire plug positions in the OBD2 where shown for us trying to wire in a new OBD2 connector

@LowbuckLS 10 месяцев назад

I guess that’s because me and everyone else I know just grab OBD2 connectors from a junkyard and don’t buy them new. Robert from @Bad Luck Garage has a has a quick video here that shows the pin positions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_VXBgoJSo_0.htmlsi=iDMvUmrWFPucuDjo

Ford guy here. Go ahead that ratty lookin junk to get LS running. When i hear the word "LS swapped " i immediately imagine a half finished junk project on CL or marketplace with a garbage motor in crap vehicle exuding the fact that someone bit off more than they can chew or afford or build.

@wowitslou Год назад

Thank you for making these videos. Do we have to do this with a bench harness or can we finish the swap and do this last through the obd2 port?

@LowbuckLS Год назад

Doing the tuning/programming through the OBD2 port when the swap is done will work fine, as long you have a a good battery. If the voltage were to dip down part way through the flashing process it could damage the PCM.
