Just had a fun one. 2012 Focus Beached Whale for 4 years. Was donated to me. Most of the onboard systems non responsive, no crank no start. Traced it all back to the classic fail point on them. TCM. Plus some corrosion on the HS CAN bus lines. TCM plus an Alternator when I got it running. Alternator can be commanded successfully but no output, even in default strategy mode. Was a fun time diagnosing.
Wow, that Nissan is a wounded warrior caught in shop wars! Lot's of preparation work, even before starting diagnostic. Great job testing the ECM, Ivan! Part 2 is pending on getting a good ECM - can't wait to see how it goes!
As a Nissan tech I’m genuinely surprised that dealer didn’t figure it out. First thing I check is ohm the cam lines 60ish good 120 definitely a problem. Then I’ll check maf and ignition coil for power will tell if ecm relay good or not quicker then getting to the ipdm. Then powers and grounds. Word to the wise not even “new” oem ecms are good. Had to go through our tech line to parts warranty a bad new ecm. After 4 hours of run around I put my own cash on the line to order another ecm which fixed the issue
Had the runaround with flagship one on a Buick. Ecu not available anywhere else. Month and a half back and forth. Each PCM would have a different issue with random components. Finally a new PCM became available and the job got finished. Don’t really blame them, they are just polishing turds! Good work dude!
Thats were your wrong there not doing proper testing on there used rebuilt ecu's no matter how much junk they take in they should beable to repair them and test and ship good ecu's
Just goes to show you over the years you have had your channel, Ivan, you have had a lot of good influence. It is difficult to diagnose an issue from a video. GREAT VIDEO!
Thus far that doesn't appear to be a very difficult diagnosis. Nice to have another ECU to confirm the communication issue is with the customers units. Will there be a surprise in part 2?!
Another excellent learning video.. while i was watching this video I thought to myself... it would be great if on one corner of the screen there could be an image of the pin layout as the pins are being probed. Just a thought. Always looking forward to your videos.

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics They were probably hoping he would just trade it in and buy something else.. They were trying to wait him out and see if he would fold.
I wonder why the TCM is still off-line. I'm just a bit leery about the CANBUS test as there's no "load" on the wires when their being measured. Ideally, you want the same amount of load the ECM puts on the line to make sure there isn't a high resistance connection somewhere. Plus, it would be nice to establish continuity between the ECM's data connection and the ODBII connector. All that traffic might be from another module that's on this side of the break/high resistance connection.
Good old flagship have had one success with this company and one compete failure with them that took 4 months to get my money back and they charged me twice lied to my bank stole my money not once but twice.
Ivan, I think the main problem is that it is a "Nissan". I really enjoyed following you thru the diagnosis process. Looking forward to Part II. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂 P. S. Any reason you are working in the dark?
I purchased a computer from a place in Homestead FL they do plug and play deals, the first one I received didn't work so i sent it back with the problems i was having and the second one is just fine and by sending my computer i now have a life time warranty Computer Resources I think is the name !
Another amazing job Ivan! Its unreal what can be done when someone takes pride in themselves and in what they do. I don't now whom i like to watch more you or Eric from south main auto... Hmm Let me think. ///// Eric for the win! only because he has other actors on his show, and boy, they are entertaining. You are as well! Agreed the more information you have for us the better as it makes us ALL better techs. Some of the other techs will just not put in the time for the customer. If its not in the book as a billable job, they are not interested,
I wouldn't get the cheap (2xxx series) 2channel pico, it's only 8bit resolution and most of them only have 8k memory. The best 4 channel for the pric3 is R^gol-DHO804. They are small enough to still be "portable" and run on a simple USB-C plug. But it's a full on bench scope and packed full of all the best features; 12bit vertical resolution, 25M deep memory (vs 250M in the 40xx series 4channel pico- which Ivan uses; expensive). Fantastic for the price (four hunded).. The only thing better (for the money) is the 4 channel Pico Ivan uses.

This made me wonder if you could put the v8 software into that v6 ecu and would it work. But probably v6 ecu is missing drivers for those 2 extra cylinders.

Pretty straight forward diagnosis 👍🏼

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics You have dealt with it before; and it is interesting.
Kudos to the owner, they gave it a lot of effort, went further than most shops. Nothing wrong with a lengthy summary, lots of good background info.

That you can find your way thru 2 bad ECM's and then program the key to the ECM is simply amazing. Simply amazing!

I agree 100% this was a pretty straightforward diag. Well it was until people got their hands on it lol
Hopefully part 2 will get this vehicle running.

Nice video and diagnosis. Flagship one is more like a Flagstone. You’re sinking like a stone when using them. 🤣
Are there any other refurb shops around?
they wrote a NOVEL...
Flagship seems more like a dinghy.
Sometimes you just have to shake your head and wonder what do the dealer monkeys actually fix ?
If they're like some dealers, they're forced to follow the factory troubleshooting tree. But that doesn't always work.

Sweet, been waiting for a new video
You the night mechanic now
I had a nissan armada come in the shop. It would sometimes not start. Problem was the instrument cluster which has part of the security system in it.
Thats called Nats system
In another 10 years, the number of LS-swapped Nissans is gonna be insane. Frontier? PutaLSinit. Sentra? PutaLSinit. Leaf? PutaLSinit...

Flagship has burned me twice. Uggh
I swear the last 5 cars that were brought to me the owners said "I replaced the ECM from Flagship 1"...😂😂😂
did they program the key in the replacement ecu
any bets on Flagship 1 failure??.....LOL...friggin Computers and Idiots at the shops.....amazing
Sherlock Holmes deduced, "Electricity is the high priest of false security".
It's most likely the cam signal.
That like mine Nissan z350 all dead no electrocity any where.ignition out.no power..went for parts
If you move to Canada, heated shops and lights 😅
