Volvo XC90 2005 immobilizer problem
1993 Chevy Lumina 3.8L dies while driving. Starts good runs good for 15 miles at most then dies. Will not restart right away. Have to wait 30 mins to an hour then will start up fine and drive fine for another 15 miles and die again. Its not overheating. No check engine light. Have changed fuel pump fuel filter plugs wires. Sensors would trigger check engine light always? Actually its SERVICE ENGINE SOON on this car. Unless there is also a CHECK ENGINE LIGHT thats malfunctioning. that would make sense.
Hey EasyAutoFix!, I have a 2019 Toyota Tacoma with manual transmission, what kind of symptoms would I be getting from a bad ECM??
Bro you sounds super baked lol
My ECM was causing me a misfire on one cylinder and needed to be replaced.
If one is watching this video, chances are they aren't having a monumental day..lol..
Lmao
It’s weeks

Yup
This video literally just explained everything that is wrong with my car thank you so much bro
Same here..thanks
Literally.

Same here, my mechanic is on it now! Thanks for sharing the video!
Bro my car probably has every light on 😂😂😂 looks like Christmas in my car 🚘
Yea mine to 😆 🤣
Damn did yall get it fixed?
@@baconatorsupreme5165 a lot of people don’t for some odd reason
Same here
I thought it was just mine 🤣
Spent too much money on the wrong things, thanks for this video! Going to get the ECm checked and replaced
Same here smh
I changed oil pump, water pump, air flow sensor and as they downed the engine many other stuff for wear and tear. Eventually they say ECM maybe is down and they have no clue to fix it. Now I’m thinking is it better to go Ford Workshop then outsiders for experts is missing and no solution to the problem.
i changed ecm+cts+maf+fpr+o2 both sensors+ exhaust system+fuel filter+plugs+wires. finally running great.
What car brother?

Quite interesting..I have all that you described in the video! I own a 05 Explorer 4.6 with 260k.. I still have another 40-90k left on that truck!
Thanks this has been helpful.
Excellent video,remember this, the newer your car is the more unlikely scenario that your ECM is bad unless it was in a flood or some catastrophe like that, a lot of ECM's have capacitors in them and capacitors have a lifespan like everything else,some of these capacitors control or "help" the processors make decisions and if they are leaking their guts out (which they do as they age) then you start having problems,they start minor and get worse as they get older and leak some more, this usually happens 10\15 years or so in the life of the car, less these days because the electronics are cheaply made.
These problems need to be addressed promptly as the stuff they leak is corrosive to the board and what started as a simple problem will take out a nice chunk of the board overtime and cost you much more in the end,the only way to find out about this is to have a visual look at your ECM,you dont have to be a scientist or some super duper electronics specialist to conduct a visual inspection,it will be screaming at you as soon as you see it,sooooo if you have been replacing things you thought were bad and have checked and double checked everything and you still have issues more than likely its your board.
Thx, will chk it out 👌👍!
This video was so helpful I had no idea what the ecm code on my car was , and this video describes all the symptoms my car has. Awesome video, well done. 💯
did you fix it ?
Ya same here, if had trouble with it for a while. Ut I didnt know it was about the ecm
Feels like doctor says what is happening to us

Simple and to the point. I think this is the problem I’m experiencing with my 2004 jeep. I heard that Jeep’s are bad about that. I’m driving and stall out. It’ll start back up, after a time but I’ve changed the TPS, the coil packs, the oil sending sensor and still my jeep dies, randomly! I’m so frustrated.
Did you change the crank sensor? My 1.8T Audi would cut out when warmed up. Took about 20-30 mins to cut out. Took 45mins to cool down then it would start
This is describing almost exactly the problem I'm experiencing except for the shifting problems.
Engine light code reads as an oxygen rich problem, but after switching out the ignition coils, spark plugs, both oxygen sensors, air filter, and also checking for air leaks...the problem persists.
Then i remember getting a high pressure car wash, and water was leaking into the driver compartment. Thats when all the problems began with engine light, reduced power light, and traction control lighs all turning on....This is most likely the problem.
How did u fix the problem? Having similar problems
He said ECU is most likely the problem @@anotherappointment
Wow . Wish I would’ve seen this video sooner . Now the car won’t even start and these are all the issues I had up to this point . I changed so many other things and spent money on so many other parts .
Man thanks for all that. I have a 91 LS 400 and I've had engine stalls and loss of power/acceleration just out of nowhere. Now I have something to fix this problem. 🤞 appreciate the video. Good work. 👊
Any updates?
Hey man, did you replace the ECU on your car? I have random loss of power on my car when it's warmed up and it loses power even more on these hot summer days, the car is Audi A4 B7 1.9 TDI, I've checked and replaced everything, injectors tested, new turbo, new N75 valve, blanked EGR valve, intake and exhaust clean, new MAF and MAP sensor, new tandem pump, checked vacuum hoses and still I wasn't able to solve the problem, regular maintenance is done even before it should be, engine timing also fine, all filters changed etc. Let me know if replacing the ECU solved your acceleration problems, because I have replacing my ECU on my mind soon...
Haven't changed out ECU. I understand there's a guy in Dallas area who works on/replaces ECU's. But I don't know it thats specific for LS 400's only. Man you've done a lot of work to your Audi. GL
could be an intermittent loss of ground
Long shot but would anyone know if this would relate to a 2012 GMC Sierra I’ve changed the throttle body tps and the acceleration pedal and it was fine for a week and at random my gas pedal will quit responding and it will run super ruff you can pull over turn it off and turn it back on and run fine for a while then do it again
2009 Kia Sorento, check engine light came on months prior to this: had occasional symptoms of possible clogged catalytic converter or even maybe fuel pump issues, drove it home one night, no new issues, next morning it crunk up but wouldn't go in reverse and acceleration in drive was very minimal and no power. Drove about 4 miles and it cut off, popped hood and seen that the transmission fluid and blown back out the dipstick, added more fluid, cut it off and back on and it was as if nothing had happened at all. Drove about 2 miles to store, got gas, drove about 1/8 of a mile and there was a grinding sound if you will, car cut off and would not start back up (acted like it had a dead battery) I let it roll in neutral to my yard, where it remains. It wouldn't crank back up then, 6/7 hours later I try to crank again and it would as long as I sit in the gas pedal. I check and confirm all fluids are good and leave it be for the night. Next morning it cranks up with no problem at all but now when I put it in gear it won't move, revs up, but in no gear will it move... Any advice on what I have going on here?
crankshaft sensor or some sensor. start at the bottom
I went through this with my 2011 Altima right before Christmas of 21. It took me a couple of weeks to make the educated guess that my ECM was bad. It kept throwing P0705 Shift Range sensor but I pur 2 new ones on it and didn't fix it. I even did the multimeter pin test someone recommended on all 3 and they passed so after much research I got one from a place online (cheaper than going to Nissan) when I got it all installed the car wouldn't run.
I called them, they asked me to see if I can find out why it's not running. I said way ahead of you, it's not getting fire to the plugs. So they sent me a shipping label and asked me to send both of mine back so they could clone the original and flash theirs and send it back. When I got them back it worked.
I never had another problem until yesterday. I went somewhere and when I went to go home, it's in limp mode again just like last time. When I checked the code, same damn code P0705😡 I still had a new switch and just for aguement sake I tried it and just like last time, I think it screwed my ECM again. It's only been a year and a half since I fixed this and about 4000 miles (my car only has 60 000 miles on it and I bought it new) at this point I'm ready to soak it in gasoline and burn it to the ground, I'm not gonna keep fixing the same problem at the ridiculous expense that frequently. Bought it brand new and these problems are getting ridiculous. I'll NEVER own another Nissan again, I don't give a damn if they paid me to take a truck load of them.
Have you heard of ECU xchange out of Florida? wasn't sure if thats where you sent your stuff to, they are really solid people and might be able to help you out, you could have a bad ground thats messing up your ECM's, not trying to be argumentative and i have never owned a Nissan in my life but all cars are the same pretty much,they all have a quirk that causes them to have issues,granted 60 thousand miles is nothing,you shouldn't be having any problems and it sounds like your mechanically inclined, sorry for your troubles, when the car is not running right is a major source of frustration,been there many times.
Could a bad ECM also cause traction control to switch off, cruise control to not respond and power steering to freeze up on slow turns?
it could be part of the problem, hook up to a code reader and see what’s actually going on. if there are no PCM/ECM/ECU codes and you can’t figure it out i would take it somewhere.
Yes
I thought I was trippin out too cuz I usually have my small dog come with me and she usually steps on the traction button or the ECT/NOW button or the sport suspension button - but now I am seeing it turn on more often since I’ve had shifting problems this morning
Great video. Exactly the symptoms of my car
Thank you! Should've watched THIS before putting it in the shop! My van was sitting in my yard waiting for my turn signal relay. Ran just fine before that. Replaced the relay went to start it...NOPE! Thought it was the fuel pump, just got off the phone with the mechanic and he said-"well, it's NOT the fuel pump, sounds like it's the ecu." Dang it! When I tried using my OBD reader it malfunctioned, well....that explains it!
This checked all the boxes . Thank you
OBD Fusion figured out my problem. I’m glad it told me that my battery was dead but now I know that my alternator
Thank you so much.Very helpful video.That s what exactly my Chrysler minivan is doing. I ll replace that engine modulo control box .
excellent vid, listed all faults to what’s going on with me Kia 😢
mine too😢
Same here with my Kia 🥲
What I don't like is ghost codes that never trip the CEL. You know there's a problem, but you can't find the damn thing without a scan tool, where a code reader doesn't pick up on UNTIL the light comes on. I guess that's better than the light coming on for no reason though.
Buy a bare bones code reader; it gives the ability to catch the codes when they come on. I did, and nabbed 3 codes involving the ECM.
Well that actually helped made me feel a lil better bout my car runnin like shit😂
great channel straight to the point
Wow. My starter went out and my alternator was acting up, replaced both of them had no codes prior, but my idol was choppy and my car was stalling. Finally get it started again and it’s throwing p2195 and p0500 codes but I reconnected everything and I checked to make sure my mas was connected. Everything looks good. Probably going to take it for a tune up play stupid and see what they tell me cuz I don’t want to mess with the electrics of my car and I’m not jumping to conclusions about my ECM being bad
I think I’m having the same problem what did you do to gix
Idle
Too bad, i changed almost all the sensors of my car and spend alot of bucks! But still the engine light flashing up sometimes with some misfires. Did’nt even realize it could have been an ECM fault!
I have started just like u but I am certain it is an ECM after sprayed water in it
I changed a whole engine 😂
@@venomsupedid it even work for you?
@@3500savoy nope. Taking it to the dealership
@@venomsupe let me know when you find out
I took my 2012 Buick to the dealer for random stalling. They replaced every sensor known to man. Still doing it. Haven't replaced the PCM yet but it's the only thing left 😂
My 2000 ram 1500 has all these symptoms. I fixed my iac motor and the scanner keeps throwing that code. This is auto zones obd scanner. It also read that my drive train ecm most likely needed to be replaced. I hope a new ecm computer fixes these problems. Can anyone give me their input on AutoZone's new obd scanning tool for the store and its accuracy ?
Big brother thank you very much for making this video, am very grateful. You are Blessed❤
I did that
Changed the throttle body THREE times!!!?
I finally figured out that it was the ECU
Have all these symptoms yes also can this ECM cause the plug in for the trailer stop working?
Can sensors confuse the ecm/pcm? Like If i fix my throttle actuator codes will the ecm/pcm function as normal?
if wire from engine harness caused a short but short was corrected could this be a result of no start and blown ecm ?
My car caught fire and burnt to ground on side of highway , could it need new ecu
This guys energy and intros are amazing. Love it
You are the amazing one! thank you
You just solved my problem
Took it to the parts store and couldn’t get codes. Went to a dealer and they were stumped. Guess I’m on my own. 😂
That guy went nuts throwing his 🧢 went hard 😂😂 we ALL experienced this.
Never had those problems with my 69 GT, still going great to this day, so they improved cars did they?
Lol yes they made them more shitty and twice as hard to work on.
I'm having so many problems lately with this after 3 mechanic last one being the dealer everyone telling me they can't read anything and communicate yet even the dealer does not want to deal with it as if I have deal with this rough idle and misfire problem as it is. I'll ask to have it replace and hopefully that will fix the issue
06 Ford F-150 p062c internal vehicle speed module is is my ecm if so why only the 1 code y not more
I have a 2008 Ford Explorer 4x4 wheel drive 161000 miles on it. Basically, rebuilt the whole engine. Having trouble with the engine light and it's showing all 4 02 sensors bad I changed them all including the purge valve EGR valve air flow sensor I'm losing about a 100 miles a tank of gas. I rebuilt the whole engine all the Cam chains fresh tune up I did get a new ECM computer 2 years ago but that guy went out of business cause it was under warranty so now I gotta send it to some place to get rebuilt for 600 bucks. Other than losing fuel and the engine light staying on it, it runs and drives fine except for the gas.
Could you disconnect the electrical connections to check for corrosion and if corroded spray some electrical contact cleaner ?
No lights on. Car sputtering, rough idle, almost stalls out while stopped, rpms up and down during idle, sluggish acceleration and jerking with acceleration while sputtering. Any ideas?
Transmission
My 99 Isuzu Rodeo 3.2L has been having several issues. 1. Hard shifting and it will not shift into overdrive. It actually seems to go back into 2nd when it should go into overdrive. I'm riding 2500-3000rpms going 50mph. It seems if I get up to 70mph and 3500rpms and hold it long enough something lets go finally and then rpms drop and the check transmission light starts flashing. 2. My Rodeo also has an issue with starting then immediately stalling. It used to be every other time I'd start it up. Now it's nearly every time except on cold starts. But warm starts are ridiculous. Occasionally it'll try to start without a single crank, but stalls. And then other times it cranks and cranks and cranks and still won't start until I give it some gas. On these starts the idle is up and down and up and down til it settles between 500 and 1000rpms. On occasion it'll stall out while idling but not driving. That's even on cold starts. It just does whatever it feels like. There's no vacuum leaks that I can find. There are no codes thrown for any of these issues. None. One person did have a scanner tool hooked up that showed a "pending" code for an O2 sensor failure. But now 3. My 4wheeldrive suddenly stopped working too. Doesn't engage, the light doesn't even come on when I hit the button. So do I have a damaged ECM or PCM? Is there a difference? I think my Rodeo's brain is called a PCM. Any suggestions would be fantastic. I'm about to drive this off a cliff with no insurance. That's how frustrated I'm getting.
Did you find out the result?
If I was having a monumental day I wouldn't be watching your video... lol
Engine light came on for a small EVAP leak, it was fixed. Then it came back on for the same thing, the evap was fixed the dealer said my ECM level was low, they updated it, the light came back on same Evap diagnosis, I took it to a different VW dealer they said the same thing, low ECM level so they updated it and two days later today the light comes back on. So I’m just guessing the ECM itself is bad. So replacing it is where I’m
Going with it
Can it also just be the mass airflow sensor? Bc it has some of these symptoms too 😩
Im having same problems and was thinking it was the mass airflow sensor but I bought an aftermarket one and it dont work 😭 buy new oem mass airflow sensor
2014 Ford Focus SE
It all started with a barometric pressure sensor when I check the engine light, so just to be safe I changed all the ignition coils spark plugs MAF sensor and air filter to make sure it was getting proper air fuel ratio, turns out my 20 inch wheels must have damaged the PCM because Ford thought it would be a good idea to put the PCM so close to the wheel, PS putting 20s on my car wasn’t the greatest idea I know I know lol
Is there a way to test ecm to see if it is faulty?
i had a turbo actuator fault.. mechanic reset light, next check engine light was gas pedal, replaced it and again light shortly after.. injector 3.. replaced it and another light just now came on.. truck runs fine just faulty lights i think.. volvo isx2350 in a 670 semi truck… could be computer issue.
Hello I’m really interested
I have an golf TDI 2015
I think I fried the ecu
While removing the battery
My experience was Oil Pressure Guage going up and Down and Pcv Valve code and Check Charging System and Truck shutting off when sitting still due to false Pcv code reading and truck Stalling and Terrible Gas Millage and Being unable to activate Key Remote to vehicle and Over drive light blinking
I have no codes...it says no bus
Is ecm easily hacked gate by indicator maybe we should separate indicator separately completely from ecm
Long shot but would anyone know if this would relate to a 2012 GMC Sierra I’ve changed the throttle body tps and the acceleration pedal and it was fine for a week and at random my gas pedal will quit responding and it will run super ruff you can pull over turn it off and turn it back on and run fine for a while then do it again

Exellent information my 2010 Nissan rouge gives me a Can u1000 code and everything u just explained my car does, so it is my ECM that’s fucking up, water prob got into it ima check those wiring first tho, Preciate the info keep up the good work. 🤝🤝🤝
he's either got something buried all this time or something put away or I know it ain't making it from good credit and the battery store he's got a lot of stuff but you know more power to him he's always got something
Eng. Lt. Never had working on my second hand van 4 20 yrs ! (And no problems so far.) not necessary.
When i change the ac temperature, or turn on and off the vehicles features, even usb plug on and off my iphone/somebody else’s iphone, the throttle and brake pedal harden or soften. It’s pretty weird, could it be ecm issue?
The check engine light drives me crazy and after over a year of replacing this and that I found out that I have a bad ECM.
I got no warning signs, it just fried while driving. Car totally dead with a bunch of different lights on. Wont start now it’s at the dealership to be serviced.

Now, i thought my 07 Ford Focus had an ECM problem. But it's clear it doesn't. Because my car runs and drive's fine, but my cluster is lit up. The OBDII port doesn't work, spedometer doesn't work, all the light's are on.
But, the only three thing's working on my instrument cluster are the gas level, seatbelt light, and highbeam light. Nothing else work's. I looked at every single fuse in and outside. All are good. Tried to hook up OBDII reader and it wouldn't connect. It started having this problem after last winter.
Monumental easy auto fix!
Goodman, thank you!
Is this why the anti theft lock on my 2011 Buick enclave is not disabling?
These same symptoms apply to bad O2, Camshaft, Crankshaft and Mass Air Flow sensors too lol....which which is which
I had a MAF code once and the symptoms were different more of like a delay problem and sluggish - I’m having downshift problems now on low speeds with no codes on
Can this also throw throttle position sensor correlation codes, causing reduced engine power light
Thanks!
Very much appreciate the donation! Thank you!
Beautiful video mate
I appreciate you!
I haven’t yet replaced the ECM, my van 2013 Dodge Caravan starts and dies already. I’ve replace sparks, coils, rockers -lifters, and alternator I still get every code relating to misfires and slow response time in camshaft. I do have a used ECM I pulled from the yard. How would you tackle this? Tried clearing the codes with the scanner with no luck. Please any help would be so appreciated.
Diagnosing a bad PCM is not always that simple. Sometimes a defective module can mimic a bad PCM. You would think it’s a bad PCM when it’s not. I had a friend who accidentally put the battery backwards. After smoke settle it kept blowing a 200 Amp fusible link. Everywhere he took it to said it’s a bad PCM. He let me look at it. As an electronic engineer I know how circuits work. I pinpointed the problem to the factory audio amplifier. It had a shorted power diode. What that diode does is if you revered polarity it forward biases and overloads to self destruction shorting out the circuit making the fuse blow. I found one from a junk Television and replaced it. 😂
Always check the battery and polarity first. It's easy and fast.
Now we know.
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think this is what im going thru about the acceleration, if is this can I buy and replace it myself or it needs a dealer? GMC Sierra 2010
Here is one for you: Lexus ES 300. Started to stall and idle was really weak. I took it to our regular shop and he changed the throttle body sensor. Was fine for a few weeks and started stalling again. Took it back and he cleaned out the throttle body of carbon build up. Worked fine for 2 weeks then started stalling again and it wouldn't start. Took it to Lexus and they adjusted the throttle and said nothing else is wrong. Still having issues with starting and idle. Could the ECM be bad?
Could be a crank sensor problem
I’m having the same issues lmk if you have figured it out
My car wouldn’t shift pass 2nd gear. Had trans rebuild an started happening again. Knock sensors started failing. Finally took it back an they said the ECU is bad, that was the original problem. Now alternator keeps failing. Same 2000 es300
Yup
@Mansfield Man I did nothing happened
03 grand am with many problems i think you just told me what is ,..... thank you
I have a 2006 Chrysler Sebring. We have changed the alternator and tested it. We changed the battery and tested it. The car will not stay running. Once the battery juice is dry the cars dead. 🤷♀️
I have all those symptoms except starting. However, I have one that you didnt talk about. One day all my dash warning lights came on all at once then they went back off, except for the engine light. Then I noticed, while on the freeway, that my speedometer was not working, and while I looked at it, it shot back up to where it should have been (about 70 at the time) could this also be ecm?
So.....I'm on the highway going 60 and I step on it a little to get around a semi and the car jerks hard into a higher gear(automatic trans)but still hits 80mph is that possibly a faulty module? Not a transmission issue?
2000 Toyota Camry, reverse works fine but drive 2 and L all just rev up and won’t budge. I don’t think the trans is bad as the fluid looks fine and the rpm’s adjust to being put in gear. Just gave out the other day after slipping 1st gear a lot. Damn gf not telling me the cars messed up. Lots of people on the Toyota forums fixed it with a new ecu, replaced the transmission for nothing.
2006 dodge charger rt, my car kills when it idles and it hesitates whenever I drive like I usually would have to put it I. Neutral and rev it so I won’t get stuck in traffic
I have no check engine light on but when I move the wires that go connected to the ECM truck shuts off, any tips or any idea what can it be..
Thank you bro.
The only thing wrong with my car is that the obd port isnt able to communicate with the car i will be trying to change fuses but im sort of relieved that everything you mentioned isnt something thats happening to my vehicle so i hope its an easy fix.
Mine has the light and code pop, no issues though, sometimes it pops up once a day and some days not at all. Recently replaced a bad ignition coil, I’m thinking battery cause when I drive with lights on and touch a window button the lights dim a little til I let go. Got a battery tonight one in car is from 2020. So hopefully just a battery getting weak.
Can a PCM be bad or faulty if no signs of wear?
Awesome! Thanks so much!
and thank you!
I’ve got no engine light but the radio keeps turning it self on when the car has been locked, also smells of fuel & the clutch has been playing up (could this all be linked)
What about a misfire on just one cylinder?
Thank you for this video !
What about the traction control service and engine light on
