Can Autel IM508 program the ECU of second-hand Nissan Kicks?

 Problem: used Autel IM508 to program a used ECU for Nissan Kicks with new blade keys, it refuses to be programmed and only register them in bcm .. meanwhile when i return the original ecu and program it accepts !

 

Look at the error message below:

 

How to program a used ECU for Nissan Kicks?

You cannot use the Autel im608 to program

You need to log into your Nissan account and pay for a subscription so u can program the ecu, u will also need to buy Nissan software for j2534 box called NERS, it cost $300.

 

if it was a new pcm and u programmed it then there should be no issue.

if YOU did not program it with NERS it's not going to work.

you yourself PROVED that the pcm is the issue because the OE pcm takes keys just fine, the new pcm does not, the difference is it is not programmed to the vehicle. u need to actually program the pcm with ners while the new pcm is in the car.

like I have said before u need to put the new pcm in the car, turn laptop in, hook laptop up to j2534 and then connect j2534 to the obd2 port of the vehicle, then log into your Nissan account and fire up ners and finish the job.

 

I know for a FACT that u have NOT programmed that pcm to that car, u want to know how I know this? because if u programmed it with ners then u would have programmed the keys when u were programming, no need to unhook everything and then hook up ur key tool.

u can just put a pcm in a car and then program keys and expect it to work.

 

One more feedback and operation guide:

if it’s used one you can do it with Autel IM608 which I have done dozens of times.

1. Go to special function under ECM on diagnostic section and write the new vin
2. Go to NATS function in main menu on diagnostic section and select the ECM replaced and make sure you all your keys ready. Follow the instructions and done.

NERS is for updating the operating software or programming a blank module.

If 1 and 2 doesn’t work than do 2 first than 1 but it will definitely work.

 

What about other Autel scanners?

Also, I have tried MAXIFLASH JVCI and elite, pro and vcmi they all work with NERS.

 

Thanks to @ Scott Ford for his advice

Launch X431 ProS Mini service reset Cayenne 9Y0 2020

 Car model and year: Porsche Cayenne 9Y0 2020 with 30,000 miles

 

Purpose: to do service reset

 

Update:

Got all the tools. BMW uses those spark plug sockets. Or at least the one I have is the right size.

I have a membership at PIWISTIS so the Porsche instructions with the toque specs will be there.

 

Just need to confirm the part number. The cheapest tool that will work on a 2020 cayenne in the Launch X431 ProS Mini.

 

If more the cayenne stores what service was done when. I paid for a brake fluid change and the didn't mark it. I wonder how I can fix that.

 

Update:

Part number is available at FCP for $30/each. X431 ProS Mini Scanner is $750. So for an extra $100 if I can DIY every other one will be $20 for shipping.

 

Update:

Step 1 done. Confirmed the launch x431 Pros Mini was confirmed to work by the company.

Today going or download the instructions. The good news is Of this works I can start to do my own oil changes.

 

Step 2 failed. There is a new PIWIS TSI site. You have to register, confirm you are a business, and promise not to share. So I applied for access and waiting to hear back.

---Well I am now a Porsche Partner network member. I think that means I can now access all Porsche repair documents. Downside is you have to agree not to share.

 

What do you need to do to become a Porsche Partner network member?

You have to fill out an application. With a business name and address. Then they review your application and grant you access. You have to swear to not share anything with anyone.

Then to actually see any documents it's $17/hour. Maybe $57/24 hours. And something like $3000 for a full year.

Once you learn to navigate it there is a lot of useful information. I buy an hour when I have a Porsche repair or service and then I print what I need and file it in a binder. The printed pages have a water mark with your name and the date across it so you can't copy and sell it.

I have done all the service on a 997 and a Macan with it. Including the 57 steps to remove the front carrier to change the belt and tensioner. It is very specific with pictures and torque specs.

 

Update:

As our hero continues to respond to himself...

 

Everything ordered

Launch Pros mini $779 off of obdexpress.co.uk

Spark plugs $180

1 hour to download instructions $17 at PPN

 

So to save $800, I just spent $1040

 

Will let you know how it goes

 

The TSI turned into the PPN. But when I put in my VIN all the information including service a s extended warranty come up. Pretty cool. Does not have a parts diagram I can follow.

 

You may find this to exploded parts diagrams helpful:

Those are the plugs I ordered. $29 each from FCP

 

Update:

Launch Pros mini arrived today. It will communicate with the car. Will see if it resets the intervals when the time comes. Also looking to see if it can add when the service was done to the PCM. They forgot to add the brake fluid change and according to the PCM the final drive fluid has been changed 3 times. Now just waiting on the plugs.

 

Hope it helps!

Which mileage adjustment tools should BMW F20 choose?

 Problem: there is a BMW F20 2013 with FEM module. There will be an engine replacement with much less km on it. So want to set the km on dash according to the mileage of the new engine.

As I read on the forums on the dash there is probably a 160d0wq chip. In FEM there should be a 95128 eeprom. I have an R270+ and Iprog+ pro V85 programmer.
My question is... Is it a safe way to desolder the 95128 from FEM and read it with the correct tool. If it is, what tools can do this operation? I know Xhorse VVDI2 can reset FEM but I don't have that tool. I saw other guy has replaced the 95128 in FEM and on the dash next to the mileage a red dot appeared.

Experience for sharing: 

To correct the mileage you’re halfway there with the right tools to achieve your goal.

Firstly, you need to correct the EEPROM in the dashboard/instrument cluster. You can use the R270, but I would highly suggest getting the v2.0 eeprom adapter. I’ve got the iprog, CGDI CG PRO 9S12, and VVDI prog, and honestly it’s hit and miss with all those tools. With VVDI, you need to buy their 35160 chip, read and copy original file. Then take the new VVDI chip and write original data onto the chip. After that, you can change mileage and install into cluster. Just remember, mileage first!

Next step is mileage reset on the FEM. I have CGDI BMW, Autel IM608, and I’ll have Hextag in a few days. I can confirm you can easily reset mileage of the FEM with CGDI BMW once it’s in service mode via EEPROM. I haven’t seen a mileage reset on the Autel. The chip you’re going into get into service mode is 95128 for FEM. As far as the mileage being able to be read in the eeprom is above my abilities.
Once you have the correct mileage on the odometer and the mileage reset on the fem, you should be good.

 

Have you got it?

Recommendation: ECU clone tool suitable for most cars

 Topic: looking for the ECU cloning tools for most cars, I wanna read out cs number and pincode for immobilizer. I think if I need ktag and kess v2 and fgtech galetto.

Let's read some experienced users' advice:

1. You will be able to read the memories with those tools. For extracting data like CS/PIN You will need another tool and software like AVDI, Xhorse VVDI Pro, or other like that. Depends on what brand do You want to do.
   Also, keep in mind, that with Chinese tools You will be able to do old EDC16 at best. You can clone them 1 to 1 and will work. But with EDC17/MED17 and other newer ECUs from different producers are often blocked from cloning. EDC17/MED17 mostly have the OTP areas inside the MCU, that will prevent You from copying the whole memories. You need other, not so cheap tools that will let You read and modify data in cars to match engine ECUs.
   ktag and kess from china are usually a good start if You have some older cars to work on. But keep in mind, all the chiptuning tools like Kess/K-tag/Trasdata and so on, won't magically make the changes for You. Those tools are just that, tools to read/write memories. You have to know what to do with the files then. If You need to extract PIN then You need to know where it is and how to calculate it or You might need some specialist software that will extract it for You.

 

2. I personally have ori Trasdata for ECU reading on bench, Chinese kess/mpps/galetto for older OBD reading/writing and ori AVDI and SMOK UHDS. With those tools I can program almost every immo related module in practically every car. I believe that autel can do something but tools like AVDI/SMOK/VVDI/CGDI or similar are also needed depending on what brands are You going to program.
   I decided that AVDI is the most versatile tools that will do a lot in every brand. If I were to focus only on Mercedes, I would probably go for CGDI, if BMW, Explorer or autohex. Fiat/PSA, I/O terminal is a good choice. For VAG group AVDI and VVDI are the best IMHO. So it really depends on what are You exactly trying to achieve.
   For cloning ECUs that can be cloned one to one, k-tag or trasdata will be good choice. Kess cannot clone as it only reads flash, can't read eeprom. For ECUs with OTP areas, like EDC17, You cannot clone one to one, and need other tools to do this. But it really depends on car brands. Some tools are better in one brand, some in other. Some will do all of them, but are less specialized if it comes for things other than IMMO programming.
   I always say, look what cars are the most popular in Your area, get the tools that cover all of systems in them, and then build up arsenal for other brands as You grow.

 

There will be more reviews on the working ECU cloning tools, you can search on google, after reading them, you'd better sit down and think what brand you will need. Any here is all Chinese ECU clone tools for your choice.

How to determine if IM608 can use IMMO function in your car

 To check Autel IM608 "key programming" function or "IMMO part replacement" function is supported your car or not, you can go to function viewer APP to check whether it is supported or not.(Mainly shown by pictures)

If you are not sure what triangle and solid circle means, you can click on the question mark on the top right corner to get what it means.

Read atmega64a IC data using Xprog 5.5.5

 I managed to flash with Xprog 5.5.5 software, it is giving error when trying to read but it is able to ind device in xprog 5.5.5.

T6 - RESET
T7 - SCK
T8 - MISO
T9 - MOSI
T10 - GND
T11- VDD

Now only if someone can extract working firmware from atmega64.

 

UPDATE:

I forgot to lock fuse bits: you can update new hardware and it will work with 5.5.5. firmware. Tested

Today I done reading TMS370 with success.

 

Question: Can you confirm that you have downgraded to 5.55 the New Hardware version of Xprog (mine was on Firmware 6.12) to start working again ?

 

Answer:

if it works with version 5.55. Version 6.12 crashed and since I couldn't find the files for the micro atmega64 (version 6.12) on the web, I found 5.55, I loaded them and it ran successfully. But I can't get the eeprom and flash files to bring it to version 6.12.

 

Have one newest Xprog V6.12 here:
