how many parts should I change after ECU change?
 
My car is a 2004 AT (with DSC and immobilizer)
Recently I got an ECU ( one guy crashed his car and sold the remaining) from another 04 AT. I sent it to Knightsports for speed, rev limiter removal and fan control swap. After its return, I found my car wont start after ECU change. Is there anyone knowing how to do ?

takahashi 10-09-2007 12:57 AM

It will not start. Because the ECU need to match the BCM like key and lock. It won't start if the data does not match.

Dunno what I can tell you what to do. I was talking to Nakamura san from Japan last Saturday and told him that I was so happy with his tune.

You probably need to send them your original ECU, Copy everything over to the used one, then you re-program it.

takahashi 10-09-2007 01:33 AM

You cannot reprogram since you don't have the software to do it.

I think send both and see if KnightSports can do something about it.

The swap is possible. My second ECU(the original one of my car) worked well
If you want to send another ECU to swap, be sure collect the following parts from the source car: the black box below the ECU, the dash panel, the ring of key entery, the key.
If you collect them, the dealer may reset the immobilizer and your car can run

You can send it to headquaters or their R&D center.
