Key Fob/ECU pairing video - what am I doing wrong?

The only thing that makes me think the connections are good is the fact that the key clicking is being seem by the immobilizer via the LED feedback. But, I don't have a wiring diagram to know the complete circuit. But I did get that dam PIN to work once so I know it's correct

 

Connection can be like someone tapping you on the shoulder, sometimes you feel it stronger then other times or not feel it at all.

Here is the low milage ECU pins, pretty yucky for a car that never saw anything but 70-75 degrees. You just never know and if you get a chance it;s worth a look see

I agree Tim, I'm going to do it.

 

Dont forget that ignition switch I bet something foul is going on with that switching also

Good luck !!!!!!

 

That's where I plan to start...

 

Mitchell- The answer to your question is yes, dozens of owners have used these instructions successfully. Eric and I provided 9 owners with new sets of fobs and new PINs and all were able to successfully program the Alarm ECU to accept the new set using that instruction set. We had a failure on set #10, so that was it for me, no more sets. I did send him a new set he has not tried to get accepted yet.

Incidentally, I wrote them while successfully programming my ECU to accept a new set of fobs. They were vetted by a couple of pros, too.

Have not looked at Ketel's video yet, but will soon. Funny thing is, getting the engine to start is the hard part, the rest is easy, so no idea what is going on.

 

Terry,

Any suggestion as to how I got my PIN to work once and can't get it to work again?

 

Your not the only one with OCD, I was thinking this as I ran 2 red lights just now

tazandjan, verified it works. One step closer


Scary thing I have 2 black and 2 red fobs and no PIN. Would love to get the PIN one day if anyone has a good source.

 

Tim, you need t ocontact a dealer, pay about $350 for them to retrive the original PIN with no promise it will work since the ECU could have been replaced or reprogrammed.

 

Next time I get into Ketel's car, I am going fudge with the ignition lock pin on the ECU...

 

Yes I am going to have to ask around as I know no one at the local dealers here, No hurry just something on my list

YES I remember seeing his ECU live

Keep in mind the ing switch itself gets the most wear and and can get all kinds of crud inside.

If were me I would just connect a remote start switch @ the ing switch and use that to "tap" out the codes

 

Tim,

Ketel should make the socal stooge-be-que but this time start working early not last part of the day. The braintrust will be thick that day and many problems may become apparent in real-time.

 

You know I am up for anything pretty much anytime. I'll bring my foil hat

 

Dave- No clue on yours or Ketel's. Will look at his tape tomorrow when I get time.

 

You can try keying all the possible 4-digit combinations until you find the PIN.

There are only 10,000 combinations. Perfect for someone with OCD.

 

I did consider that, after all I am polish LOL
