Honda ECM/PCM Replacement by Honda HDS

Accessing to Honda key/immobilizer codes require the employee’s personal information to be entered in order to maintain accountability and ensure personal responsibility. To calculate PCM access codes for Honda vehicles (Honda Insight, Civic, Accord, Prelude, S2000, CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Element, Ridgeline, Fit and others…) you need to know last 5 digits of VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).

 

These codes are required for access security procedures with HDS (Honda Diagnostic System) and other OEM equipment

Step-by-step ECM/PCM replacement instructions:

1)Connect Honda HDS device into the OBD port located under the dashboard on driver’s side.
2) Turn the vehicle ignition to ON
3) Ensure your HDS HIM is well communicated with the ECM/PCM and other vehicle systems.
4) Select “PGM-F1” in the HDS program
5) Select “INSPECTION MENU” in HDS system
6) Select “ETCS TEST” and then select “TP POSITION CHECK”. Follow the screen prompts.
If fail to select TP POSITION CHECK, repeat the procedure.
7) Select “REPLACE ECM/PCM MENU” and then select “READ DATA”, and follow the screen prompts. The procedure will read the engine oil life data from the original ECM/PCM. If fail to read data, repeat the procedure. You are able to download (WRITES) it into the new ECM/PCM.
8) Select “A/T” system in the HDS program
9) Select “REPLACE TCM/PCM MENU”, then select “READ DATA”. Follow the screen prompts. Ignore SCS line.
10) Turn the vehicle ignition to LOCK (0)

15) Install ECM/PCM in reverse order of removal
16) Turn the ignition switch to ON
17) Enter the VIN which already actually calculated by HDS IMMO VIN Code calculator to ECM/PCM.

24) If the system fails to TP POSITION CHECK, clean the throttle body
25) If the system fails to READ DATA or WRITE DATA, replace the engine oil and the engine oil filter.
26) Select the PGM-FI system, and reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
27) Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software.
28) Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.
