      I got here from Eric O's diagnostic video too. Wanted to see how you fix it. Blew me away. I thought you would just hook up some leads to the connector and download the VIN. I had no idea you would open the case and solder to specific com points. Makes me aware that there can be a really wide range of skills between places that offer to "reman" or "reprogram" modules. Eric O knows a good one.

      This is not typical, although your question is completely valid. Not every manufacturer is the same. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I work for Ford, and they actually do a pretty good job with their modules. I can get a module out of a junk yard, and as long at its the correct part number, I can reprogram it to any Ford product that uses the same one. For most modules, it only takes a few minutes.
      Just to be clear, am I suggesting you should buy a Ford? Absolutely not. When Ford gets something right, its an accident. Once they figure out that they did something good, they'll put a stop to it.

      Actually Ummm... the IC chip can only store ONE VIN in it at a time. You have to wire an interface to reprogram the IC chip so... you HAVE TO open up the box. The chip can not be reprogrammed through the ECM connector on the box. It doesn't work that way.

      @@spacemanmat If that were true they would have used a programmable logic chip that can ONLY be burned once. All they did was block programming from the USB interface.
      The CRIME is you can't get an inspection sticker just because the number doesn't match. If the vin # isn't from a stolen car who cares.

    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.

      Seems like the difficult (expensive tool) part is having the software that knows the memory map of the ECU, the physical part seems nothing more than JTAG flashing a Freescale PowerPC MCU. Absolutely robbery that these ECUs cost $1500, there are bigger and far more complex/dense boards in a $200 TV, and it's not like Hyundai ECUs are exotic small-run devices.

    • @treelineresearch3387
      @treelineresearch3387 Před 8 měsíci

      @@dizzy2020 Ruggedizing and using automotive grade components does increase costs, but not by anywhere near ten fold. Mobile phone is a LOT more dense in terms of hardware, with a multicore CPU, gigs of memory, display/touch screen, and a pile of sensors, all in ultra dense chip-scale packages on 8+ layer boards with flat interconnects. In comparison, this ECU is a simple microcontroller, most of what's on the board is either power supply for the low voltages the MCU needs or signal conditioning to either protect the MCU or boost its outputs to levels that can control vehicle systems. All the interesting stuff it does, like A/D conversion, CANbus communication, and timing, is integrated on the chip. The chip itself is fairly expensive being $75 in single quantity from Mouser, but it drops to $56 at 200 quantity so by the time you get to the 10k+ quantities a manufacturer like Siemens was buying it's probably in the realm of $10-20 at most. I'd guess the hardware cost of the module is easily under $500, at best you're paying another $1000 for the software programmed into it, at worst you're paying another $1000 simply because you can't buy it anywhere else.

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

      Unfortunately it's an industry that automakers and governments would love to see dead-automakers trying to increase new car sales, and governments which are developing a narrative that we should ride buses and skateboards, not drive cars. My cold, dead fingers. That's all I'm saying.

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

    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.

    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.

    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 CZcams business. Eric could be called the daddy of the Automotive CZcams group:) Together with scannerdanner. I love watching all of them, I just hope to one day be in you guys' group.

    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.

    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.

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

    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 :)
