    Works like magic on a 2005 Toyota Camry
    My car had transmission issues that never left even after fixing the issue of solenoids.
    My mechanic who a genius recommended I change the ECM or in other words Car Computer. I went to the junkyard got a used ECM for $30. I replaced it(ECM) but the car refused to start. I kept using the old ECM until I watched this video. I did the 30mins and came back to start the engine after removing the paper clip from OBDII. The ECM from the junkyard started the car like magic. No more transmission issues and the car starts and runs like a beast. Thank you very much for the video!!!! I saved >$300 on programming a computer that I wasn’t sure it was going to work.
    This method is easy and precise and accurate.

      Wow good for you friend, I have the same problem, I bought a ECU from junkyard, but the car refuses to fire up, only cranks, my is a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.4 engine manual transmission. Do you think this process will work on the junkyard ECU, it's for the same make and model just different year. Please let me know thank you...

      Did you try this fix on tour original ECM? I have a 2010 Sienna that went into limp mode and threw a bad solenoid code. After replacing the solenoid, the Sienna was still stuck in limp mode with rpm under 3500 and couldn't accelerate past 3rd gear (~28 mph) but no longer produced any codes. I assumed something like the ECU or TCM needed to be reset.

    I bought a 2001 Lexus LS430 from an impound but had no key. I called out a locksmith and had a key cut and programado the car but would not start. I plugged my obd2 scanner and got a code for the immobilizer malfunction. I tried multiple things called out locksmith to come check it out and no one can figure it out after trying this method. I can happily say it worked. Thank you so much for posting this video. You saved me so much money.

I am currently 20 minutes in on the 30 minute wait time. I am patiently optimistic from reading the previous post and will post my results shortly….

    I know this has been around a long time. However, thank you very much for this video. I had a Toyota RAV4 2.0 D-4D 2005 model ECM repaired due to water damage. The repair involved various components being replaced. Net result, refitting the ECM, the car would not start. I almost ended up sending the ECM for repair again, but it felt like the immobiliser or security of sorts that was causing the car to not start. Your video is all that was needed. I dusted off my most prized paper clip and reset the ECM. Bingo, the car works & is stable Thank you.

    2011 RAV4.... this fix worked for me too. I was busy working on the spark plugs & injectors all day, didn't notice the battery was being drained by the lights being on. I had taken out the EFI fuse & the fuel relay. After I recharged the battery, neither of the remotes worked! This "fix" made the remotes work again, but now, the ABS and BRAKE and squiggley lines (brake related) are all on. I wonder why? But, this fix worked to get the immobilizer working again. thank you.

    Great video. My immobilizer light would not turn off more frequently and the car would just crank but not start. So I'm pretty sure that the immobilizer is the culprit because when that happens, I'd turn on and off the panic button a couple of times and the immobilizer red light turns off once I re-insert the key then it start right up. So I'm wondering if this will work if I purchase a used ECU without keys for 99-05 GS 300/400?

    Was this procedure used to reprogram the Engine Control Module or the Body Control Module? My key FOBs suddenly stopped working & the diagnostics performed are pointing to a faulty Body Control Module, located behind the driver side, instrument panel junction block. I've located a functioning replacement Body Control Module. So, which were you reprogramming?

  • @mantasarbaciauskas2460

    This is not resetting ecu nor immobiliser but its linking ecu to immobiliser after ecu has bin replaced. It's called handshake. On newer cars ecu and immobiliser are two separate computers. so its linking new ecu to immobiliser system. On older cars immobiliser is one with ecu and this will not work. good video just little misleading wording.

Where you unable to start your engine as well? If so, did this reset method work? i'm just afraid of shorting circuit and making a bigger problem and just confirming before proceeding. -thanks.
