  • This is how I bypassed my Range Rover P38 with a faulty Immobilizer Module. The ECU is running in the stand alone mode. Please contact me for details on how to re-mobilize your P38 if you are having Immobilizer issues!

    I have a similar problem in the same car. The code I saw was
    P1842 and a p1843. Symptoms with the car are crank no start, no spark, no current to the injector with the
    key on ignition and no injector pulse when cranking. I have checked all the fuse and relays in the power center but everything seems really nice aside from the ABS relay that I
    felt is hot to the touch after cranking. Please sir help me on what I should do on this case. Thank you sir.

    Also, you are looking at a Chevy V-8 from 1964. ( well, Buick). Think of it as an aluminum block small-block 283, that has been sleeved. You should be able to install a manifold, and carburetor from a 1964-5 Buick, which was even offered turbo-charged. A four-barrel Rochester and an HEI Distributor would reduce the making it run to fixing a 1960's Chevy.

      Well, I wish it were that easy. I have swapped out the intake manifold on my 3.9L Rover V8, which is in a '94 Disco, but these 4.0L and 4.2 L engines are harder to retrofit an ignition system into. As you mention, going back to a carb is no problem, but the crankshaft position timing wheel has an odd number of teeth, from standard domestic V8s. So, you have to order a special unit in from England, and pull the engine to install it. It might interest you to know that I am swapping that 3.9L Rover engine (with original distributor and electronic ignition) into my Mercedes 460 G Wagen for more power. As you know, the Rover s are excellent, light V8's, and can be turned for a lot of compact power!

    To the guy making the video, you could jump the trigger-wire under the switches you are manually jumping, to the actual trigger-wire from your ignition switch, you might have to jump power to the power-supply side of the switch, ( This is where I would disable a system at the ECU to produce a theft prevention feature), just jump a wire from whatever lights up the dash-lights. Or, get cheap Chinese remote control relays from China, they give you four buttons to push, you could use two of them to achieve what your finger is doing under the hood. I think these are going to be classics, and the price is low now, it's scrapping the ECU that needs to happen, and I am currently swapping coil springs into my air-bagged 1996 HSE. Maybe I will post a video of how I end up doing this. I started by purchasing a suspension from a Discovery, I may bolt the front lower spring-perch to the air-bag perch, after I disassemble it. This seems like the simple adapter. A second option is to fill the air-bags with leak-sealer and block off the air inlet, just make it permanent. A third option would be to use the coil-over struts from a Land-Cruiser ( 2005 or so), it is only 4-inches in diameter and bolts into the front shock area. The rear springs are easy, replace the lower perch with the Disco gear.

    This sounds like an original issue with the transponder chip and a simple key replacement along with it's programming to resolve the issue. My saviour is the Silca SBB V33.02 (Don't get an older Version!) Without this tool, and some new Transponder chips from China I could not fix certain cars (I am backyard mechanic, saving money by not transferring vehicles & paying crazy taxes, so I could not goto dealer and buy a new key ($90 to $1000 for Mercedes.)) Some ignition like the 2008 Cobalt I had to program a New transponder and place that inside the coil that surrounds the ignition (Just use an extra coil from junkyard, plug it in, and hide it under dash with Transponder chip glued or taped into it. I had to install a used ignition from a junkyard buddy (Free! I had to go get it out but it was free!) Program key FOB for the door (Most cars only need a working key to program FOB so that comes after it starts!) (Note:*** Must have specific transponder chip & Key FOB)
    It cost $120.00 Canadian for the SBB programmer (Lucky to get it through customs.) Purchas blank keys with Transponder chips for $2.00 and it's good to have transponder chips for certain models. The 2004 Honda Accord with reprogrammed key from junkyard but Not with the 2006 Cobalt So SBB automatically erases all previous keys in the ECU We Programmed a blank key with New transponder, put that under dash and all was good! Of course replacing the ignition was essential and UA-cam videos help simplify the process. Oh and the Ford Focus if you have to change the key, Just rip the old steering column out as well as the ECM and get one from cheap junkyard and you are good to go. Likely can buy a whole Focus for $100 on kijiji in Canada as they rot out and have had many engine issues (So many in junkyards).
    Point being, and sorry to leave such a long comment but I don't see how this helps anyone, who wants to pay $1000 to British programmer, Had you offered the techniques of how to program our own EEPROM with this update and the update itself So we can get rid of Immobilizer altogether...
    Still an Interesting video and 2 thumbs and a Like for the effort and especially anything on the Land Rover is worthy of that to me.

    • @bostonmountain
      @bostonmountain  7 років тому +1

      Yes, the battery in the Fob will eventually need to be replaced. It is no problem is you have a Land Rover Dealer nearby, but it is still expensive. I live about 200 miles from the nearest Service Center, so I had to go with the Hacked ECU approach. It is super easy to replace the module, and then you have to splice two or three wires under the passenger's seat, but it functions perfectly, and I use it as a daily driver. By the way, the Hacked Chipsets are really only about $700 on eBay, if you want to pop the ECU cover and replace them yourself.

    Well I just went through this a couple hours ago. I dont know if its a fluke or what but all I did was disconnect the battery and then pulled all the relays and fuses that had anything marked with an engine on the diagram. Reinstalled them. Then I reconnected the battery and it started up. I started it over and over again. Perhaps the system had a fart, giving me a heads up that it's gonna take a dump soon, or just needed to be reset or something. Who the hell knows but i was thankful to make it home.

    Thanks...
    But one trick is on a super lock failure... is to resync. the key like this and only this: a) press the lock button on the key fob before inserting in the door lock, b) hold the lock button on the key fob down while inserting the key in the lock, c) while holding the lock button down on the key fob rotate the key to lock (clockwise toward back of car), d) stop at the lock position keeping the lock button pressed down on the key fob, e) count three (3) seconds off while keeping the key lock button down and the tumbler rotated fully to lock (clockwise position toward back of car), f) turn key to central (vertical) position while keeping key lock button pressed , g) remove the key from the lock keeping lock button pressed on the key, and h) release the lock button on the key. Voila, it should be synced and released from super lock !
    Keep your
    Key battery fresh, and just as importantly keep the main car battery above 90% reserve capacity, and fully charged. If the cars' battery when tested shows less than 90% reserve at any time, replace with the recommended size battery (ya I know its an excavator, tractor or semi battery and is heavy, costly and has short warranty... but if you are dumb enough to love the car you gotta pay that price. Going to a smaller battery no matter how high tech or what the warrantee is a sure fire way of asking for security / locking failures, ABS failures, and EAS failures. If you let the car sit for a few days without running often you will have problems due battery reserve capacity... if you put on a battery tender remember it NEEDS at LEAST 8 amp output as that is the basic load these cars put on the battery, particularly if the locks are going locko wacko.
    So this now 13 year long fight against my own car is possible to end, but I got 5 of good use before it totally went locko wacko and with the other assorted issues with EAS, and ABS system problems. Love the car, hate the lock / security system. Range Rovers lose value like a falling stone... and the door lock / security system starts acting up a about year 5... basically it is worth so little after the first 5 years a junk Nissan Sentra has more valve to steal... so only a fool would steal one. So why do we need the exotic "security system".
    Oh well, Rovers always been like this I had a 1961 station wagon 88 and got it stuck in the Minnesota woods by the river right at beginning of winter. It stayed there until spring and only was rescued a few days before it was washed away by the river flooding.
    A final comment on the ABS brakes, bleed every year to flush the system. Replace the accumulator every 5 years (they slowly leak charge and the that's the design life), and MOST importantly replace the brake booster/masters' PLASTIC RESERVOIR every 5 years (it has a filter you cannot clean in an inaccessible place any crud or old fluid with cause the pump cavitation and /or fill your valuable and delicate ABS system with crud ), and replace the PUMP electrical RELAY every 5 years (70 amps of electrical arc every time your system pump runs! Why is ANY crud or moisture contaminated brake fluid will ruin system components costing about (currently at dealer prices) $12,000.00 for the brake electro-hydraulics. These are VITAL if you want a reliable long lasting brake system. Unfortunately, the 1997-2002 (last one produced 2001) range rovers somehow ended up with a NON failsafe braking/traction control system. The only one I know of, and it should have been a recall issue. Actually the later rover p38 was the first integrated braking/traction control system. ALL other braking / traction control or ABS brakes made FAILSAFE allowing you to proceed literally forever if the system fails but with the brakes working without the non-skid feature. Those Rovers do NOT fail safe and the brakes will totally disappear one day, with you stopping if you are lucky with the handbrake or unlucky in someones living room or ramming a car in front of you or sliding off a cliff... .

    • @kimballscarr
      @kimballscarr 5 років тому

      Here is the official, operation description of the locks:
      Slam locking: Slam locking is only available on vehicles up to
      96.5MY. Slam locking is performed by depressing
      either of the front door sill buttons with the door open
      and then closing the door. All the doors and the tail
      door will CDL lock and the alarm will be armed in
      perimetric mode with cranking disabled and
      immobilisation activated. If the vehicle is slam locked
      with the key in the ignition or the ignition on, all doors
      will immediately unlock when the door is closed.
      Key CDL locking: A single turn of the key in the driver’s door lock
      towards the rear of the vehicle will cause all the doors
      including the tail door to CDL lock. The alarm system
      will enter perimetric mode with cranking disabled and
      immobilisation active. Remote CDL locking A single press of the lock button on the remote handset will cause all the doors including the tail door
      to CDL lock. The alarm system will enter perimetric
      mode with cranking disabled and immobilisation
      active.
      Key superlocking: A double turn of the key within two seconds in the
      driver’s door lock towards the rear of the vehicle will
      cause all the doors including the tail door to superlock
      providing that they and the bonnet are closed. The
      alarm system will enter perimetric mode with cranking
      disabled and immobilisation active.
      Remote superlocking: A double press of the lock button within two seconds
      on the remote handset will cause all the doors
      including the tail door to superlock providing that they
      and the bonnet are closed. The alarm system will
      have crank disable and immobilisation active and if all
      windows and sunroof are closed the volumetric and
      perimetric systems will be activated. If any of the
      windows or the sunroof are open, then only the
      perimetric system will be activated. Remote
      superlocking is prevented if the key is in the ignition.
      Lazy Locking: The lazy locking procedure will close all open
      windows and the sunroof when locking the vehicle.
      Lazy locking is initiated by holding the key turned to
      the lock position or holding the locking button on the
      remote handset pressed for more than one second.
      The windows close simultaneously, followed by the
      sunroof after the last window has closed. In some markets, the key must be held in the lock position or the remote handset lock button held
      depressed until all windows and the sunroof are
      closed. If the button is released prematurely, the
      windows and sunroof will stop and a mislock will
      sound.
      Mislock: A mislock is indicated by two short ’beeps’ from the
      alarm sounder or by three short flashes of the
      courtesy lamps depending on the market
      programmed. In some markets there is no audible or
      visual mislock warning. The mislock warning will not
      operate if the ignition is in position I or II. The message centre in the instrument pack will display the cause of the mislock, i.e. ’RHF DOOR
      OPEN’. The message will be cancelled when the
      cause of the mislock has been rectified.
      Auto Relock: When a valid unlock request is received from the
      remote handset and all windows are closed, the
      ultrasonic sensor is activated for a period of 60
      seconds or until movement is detected or:
      - a door is opened or closed
      - the tail door is opened
      - the key is inserted in the ignition
      - the ignition is turned to position I
      - the vehicle is re-locked with the key or the remote
      handset. If, after 60 seconds, none of the above has occurred,
      the vehicle will relock to its previous locked condition.

    • @bostonmountain

      Well, as you know, the Sync Problems are very difficult to diagnose without the Land Rover $20K diagnostic computer. What I did was order an "Unlocked ECU" from www.v8engines.com/ Talk to Ian. He will sell you the "hacked" & unlocked ECU module. All you do is plug the module in and the engine will start as I demonstrate by picking relay 15 to energize the electricals, and the start the engine with relay 16. After I shot this video, I had to trace the coil wires back from relay 15 and 16 back to the BeCM module connectors and bypass them around the module. The Rover operates normally at this point.

  • @concernedcitizen8665

    The key-fob battery must be replaced in less than 15-seconds, or you will have to re-code it. The instructions I saw said to press the lock button until it rapidly blinks, then lock the door. Do the same to un-lock. Now, it will be coded to the lock. Next, a four digit code should be in your users manual, perhaps under radio code. Turn lock four times to unlock, then finish code to the right, 2345 would be two turns, pause, 3 turns, pause, etc, and it will make noises as you do this. Bingo, it all works. If you have the code. 9 U.S. model 1996 P-38 4.6 HSE)

      Pete, yes that is exactly what happened to me. You can Google Search all of the various solutions to resync the ECU and BECM units, but none of them worked for me (defective Immobilizer Module). All you will probably really need is the Chip Set to rechip your ECU. I had the guys/gals at www.v8engines.com provide me with an entire ECU that had already been rechipped, but you can do it yourself and save the extra money. Unless you can make your ECU operate in the "Stand Alone Mode", it will never let your engine start... sad to say.

      Cleoa, thanks for your question. It sure sounds to me like your Immobilizer System has been triggered... just like mine did. The fuel pump will be disabled, the engine will crank, but the ignition and fuel injection system are immobilized. If you can get your Rover to a dealer, they will be able to reset your system for you. I am so far from a dealer, that I had to have my ECU hacked in England. Sadly, those are the only two options that I really know will work 100%. It is time to call your nearest dealer.

Last year I had a problem and I had to change the BECM / ECU because the nanocom locked the BECM module and could no longer access it. Trouble has been detected in the door lock. Today I was informed that this lock is ok, but Eka does not unlock the module, continues message "Engine Disable". I would like to know if you can pass me some info, links, etc. of how to unlock the ecu (hack), or else if you could make the change for me. Thanks for any info and for sharing this video. ;-)

They can sell you either a hacked ECU, or you can buy the chip-set ICs and "unlock" your original ECU module.

    Hi. I know you posted this a while ago but I hope you will still get this message. My 2000 Range Rover 4.6 had a new engine put into it but I do not know what syncing was done to it. When I try to start the car, the starter turns slowly and then stops and when I try again, it does the same thing. Is the cause that the engine is immobilized or the BECM not synced? I don't think I see a message saying that the engine is disabled but I tried to connect a wire from the starter to the chasis in case of grounding issues and the starter didn't turn at all. My last question concerns the key. I have one key that needs a battery but I am scared that changing the battery will cause the engine to immobilize if I try to use it. How should I go about this? Thanks.

    • @bostonmountain
      @bostonmountain  7 років тому

      I do not believe that your Immobilizer is the issue. When the Immobilizer triggers, it will display a message on your dash, and the horn will start blaring, etc.. It sounds to me more like your starter has failed... perhaps the brushes are not making good contact with the commutator, etc.. As far as P38 starter issues are concerned, twice, through the years, I have had to crawl under the beast and recrimp the Starter Relay Wire, where it attaches to the starter. (Wow, is it hard to reach, on the top side of the starter solenoid.) It is very bad about getting water in that spade-connector, and developing excessive resistance. So be sure to check that first, before pulling the starter. Arthur, yes, you are wise to worry about changing the battery on your key fob. It is a tricky procedure, and there are good videos, here on UA-cam that describe the process. If you mess up on that battery swap, it is an expensive service call from the Land Rover dealership. (In my case it is over 200 miles to the nearest dealership, hence the DIY approach in this video. www.rangerovers.net is the best place to Google for precise answers, IMHO. Thanks.

      I have one more question if you don't mind. I would like to try and jump the starter to see if it works before taking it off the engine. Do you think the engine would immobilize or something would go wrong if I did this with the key in the ignition and the starter disconnected from the wiring harness? Thanks.

    • @bostonmountain
      @bostonmountain  7 років тому

      I don't see a problem with your approach. The Immobilizer is usually triggered when it thinks someone is trying to break into your vehicle (or the Immobilizer module fails, like in my case.) The Immobilizer won't care what you are doing, as long as you are not working on the Immobilizer System, itself.

    • @AAJandfam

    Yes, It sounds like the Immobilizer has triggered. There are a lot of posts about how you might go about resetting your unit. However, I made the mistake of changing the battery in my Key Fob, thinking that was the problem! LoL... bit mistake. So, after six months of messing around with every other approach, I just purchased the hacked (unlocked is the term they prefer) ECU from the company mentioned. It works perfectly now. With that said, I need to mention that you would need to bypass the two relays that I talked about in the video... RL15 & RL16. You can simply solder two jumper wires, at the front of the BeCM module under the passenger’s seat (American version). Let me know if you need those instructions and I will post them. It is very simple.

    Good video but i have a slightly different problem in that my '96 P38 4L starts and runs fine, but at the same time the siren blares and the door locks chatter, the direction indicators stop working, the windows go up and down, sometimes the harzards come on and the dashboard gauges malfunction. So, if I drive it, it looks like the carnival arriving. Any ideas please?

    • @bostonmountain
      @bostonmountain  5 років тому

      Yes, the problem sounds like a BECM module failure. If the unit (under the passenger seat) ever gets wet, it will fail in the manner you describe. You can find them used on eBay, or there are guys who can repair yours for about $500 USD.

    • @johnsomerset1510
      @johnsomerset1510 5 років тому +1

      OK thanks for that. Worse news than I thought! Yes the whole inside of the vehicle has got regularly wet from what i think is the roof seams leaking. I disconnected the siren (4 wire) yesterday to stop the noise and it at the moment it's still running and driving fine. I will see how it is when it has another spasm and the door locks etc start chattering.

    • @bostonmountain

      If you can put a fan in the floorboard and let it run while you are not driving it, the BECM module may fully recover. Those modules are notorious for malfunctioning in wet weather.

      This is likely just a bad wire or a short somewhere and likely a bad ground from the Battery to the body or the connections to the body control module in your case, or the the ecm, look for lumps in wires, bad connections, Switch relays with others of the same number within your Power Control Center and check for issues at the relays with a meter and a light when these conditions are happening. a test light goes a long ways in these cases as well as knowing which pins control what in the Relay slot. You need to find out if the issue if before the relay or after it to eliminate stuff. This more or less sounds like the harness to a module has rubbed against the body, bared a wire and is shorting itself out. It is nice to have a junkyard to get a few cheap parts so you have some test units in the event it is a body control module or something but without a Programmer you cant just go swapping out parts that are mated to the car, but you can check the wiring and connections and do tests of voltages to see if they are there and if they are flashing in sync to the locks and stuff as you suggest.. You can wiggle and shake wires to see if that changes it's pattern to find the short....

    • @AAJandfam

    • @bostonmountain
      @bostonmountain  7 років тому

      Arthur, that may not be a good sign... if the engine only rotates through part of the engine cycle, something mechanical may be "jamming". You mentioned that it is a new engine (to your Rover) and I wonder if it was, indeed, a running engine when installed. I have actually installed a replacement engine before, only to find that it had several pre-existing mechanical problems. Do you know for certain that the new engine was running properly when donated to your Rover?

      Yes, key on the whole time. However when the Immobilizer is triggered no power is applied to the coil on Relay 15, so the fuel and ignition system remain inactive. It has to be reconfigured to operate directly from the key switch down at the BECM.

      Yes, the Range Rover P38 runs & drives perfectly. There are no issues with the transmission, etc.. The ONLY thing that I have not attempted to fix, is the slowly-blinking LED on the dash. It still indicates that the vehicle is in Theft Mode, but it doesn't affect anything else, so I will probably just leave it.

    Same situation, here, where did you get these 2 relays: #15, #16 ? Please explain your term, "Pick the relay" Do you mean "Squeeze" or is there an external tab on each of these relays ?
    Regards,
    Paul in Pennsylvania

    • @bostonmountain
      @bostonmountain  4 роки тому

      Paul, relay #15 and #16 are just the normal Ignition System relays. If you 'pick' (hold down the contactor blade) on relay #15, it provides power to the ignition system, and #16 actuates the starter motor. However, unless you have a new chip-set (EPROM memory integrated circuits) in the ECU, it won't work. Sadly, the chip-set are selling for about $700 on eBay, which is pretty expensive. I know of no other real option for reactivating a disabled ECU, and I've tried everything short of taking it to a dealer. (My nearest dealer is about 200 miles away.)
