As someone who doesn't know much about car mechanics, this video was really helpful in explaining the signs of ECU failure in a clear and concise manner. Great job!
THE ECU, or Engine Control Unit, is a computer housed in the engine of vehicles since the mid-90s, in most cases, until today. Its appearance was justified by the industry's demand for vehicles with more efficient combustion in mechanical and ecological terms. This computer regulates some engine functions, such as working temperature, fuel injection, ignition, valve opening and closing; manages engine rpm, exhaust gas emissions, oxygen levels, and various other parameters for optimal engine operation. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE 100% REAL VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH
It's important to diagnose and address these issues as soon as possible, as ECU or control module problems can cause further damage to a vehicle and potentially lead to unsafe driving conditions. Thank you for sharing.
I don't have much knowledge about car mechanics, so this video was a huge help in making me understand the symptoms of ECU failure in an easy and straightforward way. You did a great job explaining everything!
This video was quite useful in describing the symptoms of ECU failure in a straightforward and concise manner for someone who isn't very knowledgeable with automobile maintenance. Well done!
This video provides valuable insights into identifying common signs of ECU or control module failure, empowering viewers with knowledge to effectively diagnose and address potential issues.
Couldn't say it better myself bro. Not only the price of these new cars but the interest these people pay for them is ridiculous. 2000 S10 4.3L and I ain't selling it. Be cheaper to fix and put a new motor/ trans in it then it is to get anything else new.
Hi watching from NAMIBIA my BMW 320 d just suddenly cut out no start at all the starter don't start on key but when you wire the starter straight from battery it rotates engine but no start on instrument panel app
I’m having challenges with my 2014 RX350 gearbox, it selects properly however when the vehicle gets hot, it would start malfunctioning, what must I do ? It was diagnosed with OBD2 with fault code P0877
I was really going through something similar with the engine with the issue of slow acceleration and strange noises and I can really know where the problem is going.
How many analogies did this guy use in One video,its like running a marathon in sandals it's like a marriage where one you is not listening ,it's like being interrupted...it's like........??
It is a pleasure to find this type of content, thank you very much for this help. I was really going through something similar with the engine with the issue of slow acceleration and strange noises and I can really know where the problem is going.
My truck died while driving now wont start at all but we was jumping the solenoid on the firewall to start it i wonder if that made it go bad but it was runnig on the road then died was already running do you think the starting it that way made it go bad the ecm..
My astra H shortcuts when I accidentally put a drew diver on the fuse box and everything is off and I checked all the relay and fuses they are ok and everything is off. The light and cluster is off What can be the problem
Me and my husband are working on a 96 buick regal custom. We think the ecm is out. So, i didn't realize that this 28 year old car had a "brain". I hate to think of all the cars now days because they are far more advanced. I've learned there's way more to a car than a body, an engine and tires. So many parts... it's crazy. Anyway great video. Thx.
My car crank in the morning but not starting the engine. I push few time oil pedal while craking its start the engine difficulty. Only in the morning. After the whole day start with one crank. Can someone please help
Owner of S500 W221 with issue on ECU cost me 2,200$ to fix replaced with new one. For all people with that issue...my car was running super poorly...from 8 cylinders only 6 were working and not in sync...causes vibration while accelerating - super poor performance...sometimes my car didnt start, but after few IN and out putting key and taking out it works (took 2-3 min for the car to "wake up" and recognize the key go ignite the engine), not gonna mention about the fuel - super bad. If YOU have issue with ECU...FIX it as soon as possible with NEW one that gonna carry your VIN number and the key. It hurts, but if you love your car...you gonna spend 50% of its value to mantain it super nice. And trust me...the car gonna thank you with 100-200k of pure joy. If you drive some sh1tty car - its not worth...like C class or some basic cars with 2 extra cables as "feature" then just scrap the car. But for your expensive babies, please take care.
This video could have been half the length without the silly jokes and chit chat. I for one am not in the mood for it when I've potentially got a massive bill coming. It's just inappropriate 🤷♀️🙄
For me it's the ECU stand's for educated clue useless. 😅 If you don't have a diagnostic tester to tell you what is the things to check. You could have a lot of guess's to what is going on. I want to shoot my truck but it would be best to trade it in. 🤨First got to get it fixed to get there. 🤪 Just need one more good truck to last me. Three years later. Yeah! Sound familiar ladies. 🤣
Most of this is related to bad sensors and other components. The ECU is responding the way it should under those circumstances. Misleading, automated bunkum.
Ewerywhone who know anything about cars can suspect on Ecu when problem show up.he can be guylti for awerithing,But,I watch and watch and waait to hear how to I diagnose bad Ecu like in descryption .....wait watch.....and nothing....
Sorry folks, but there's nothing to see here. To sum up 14 minutes of video: "If your car isn't running well, take it to a qualified mechanic." That's it. The video claims to teach you how to diagnose the problem, pointing at the ECM (the COMPUTER that manages the performance of nearly every electrical component in your car) when in fact the problems is much more likely to be a bad sensor, wire or connector! In fact, not one sentence of the video discusses actual DIAGNOSIS procedures, they simply tell you over and over again to take your car to a qualified mechanic, which is safe advice for them to give..... This channel is owned by a company that rebuilds ECMs, but nothing about that is mentioned in the video. Just buying and rebuilt ECM from them or any other company, without having done REAL diagnostics and identifying and troubleshooting the codes that the ECM stores, would be folly, as mentioned above. On the other hand, there are a few outstanding videos on youtube that will teach you how an ECM functions, and more importantly how to diagnose the wiring and connectors, as well as the sensors themselves to find the ROOT CAUSE of the problem, and fix THAT problem instead of throwing part after expensive part at your car until it hopefully runs better. Unfortunately that is how a large percentage of repair shops make their money. Educating yourself on how the ECM and other sensors accessories communicate and how to TROUBLESHOOT them is worth the time you spend learning, whether you effect the repair yourself, or use your newfound knowledge to keep your mechanic honest. Good luck to you all..... 😉
This is nice informative video but WAY TOO MANY SIMILES. . . like this dude must have had a very bad relationship along the way. Stick to the facts. The repair bill will be traumatic enough.
Very Good info ,much appreciated, my Buick Enclave has all the systems, new ECU on order, Thank you an yes would like to see more videos like that his one.
no conectivity to the obd port, and no check engine light on then off on start up is the main way to know the engines not communicating with the cars computer. thanks again for my 96 jeep computer lastyear car computers exchange! i know its a little waiting period till you can program them and ship out now.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I really appreciate it Giorgos.
Thanks for helping me to realize I have an ECU problem with my car. Thanks for the video
Hey Kayton. Glad we could help. Thanks for watching.
What a way to discuss ECU problems! This really helped me diagnose these problems!
Will the ECM have an effect with the AC...
We pay way to much money for less quality these days
Couldn't say it better myself bro.
Not only the price of these new cars but the interest these people pay for them is ridiculous.
2000 S10 4.3L and I ain't selling it. Be cheaper to fix and put a new motor/ trans in it then it is to get anything else new.
MAN! Used 4.3 chevy express for 10yrs almost... so I see anything 4.3 looks like it's a steal if you take care of it
@@KINGCJ87 Great motors. They last and man are they a great work horse motor. They just take the abuse and keep going.
Asian cars the best American cars are reverse engineered crap
i love this video. i learned new things about ECU. I hope you create more videos like this. Thanks
Will this work on a 2006 grand prix gxp 5.3
thanks to you now I will know how to diagnose the faults in the ecu

Great video about How To Diagnose ECU Problems, I learned many things from watching it, thanks for sharing this valuable information!
Ecu on daewoo matiz car just cut out at petrol pump car only has 19000mls looking for advice
Thank you so much I've learned a whole lot in just a few minutes I look forward to seeing another video I enjoyed it
Thank you for sharing us this very valuable information about ECU diagnosing, I get rid all my car problems now using it.
This is really helpful tips I learned a lot to know about this ECU problems

Welcome back Diego.
My truck died while driving now wont start at all but we was jumping the solenoid on the firewall to start it i wonder if that made it go bad but it was runnig on the road then died was already running do you think the starting it that way made it go bad the ecm..
Please feel free to visit our website and send us an email. Have a great day. Sorry to hear your cars having issues.
You are really helping me a lot to learn to recognize mistakes
If a scanner wouldn't communicate with the car is it ECU? Fuse has been checked but 3 scanner has been connected all say no communication
Friend your videos are very cool, really everything you show and explain works 100%
sometime the check engine light doesnt even come on
I got a 2014 Ram 6.7 diesel that shuts off randomly anywhere any time you never know when it'll happen drivin me super nuts, no codes either.....
Can ECU be repaired without necessarily buying a new one?
Kindly reply
Great content! thank you so much for sharing this information with us, this is actually helpful for me. Love this channel a lot!
I'm glad my video could help you Albert
Very interesting and very effective ways to diagnose ECU problem !
Thank you very much to receive your message about ECU
My astra H shortcuts when I accidentally put a drew diver on the fuse box and everything is off and I checked all the relay and fuses they are ok and everything is off.
The light and cluster is off
What can be the problem

Will a bad ECU throw a ton of different codes?
Yeah. They're what I call ghost codes. They'll appear and disappear.
Can cause also No aceleration and Rpm goes 1200rpm and stuck ?????
Thanks for sharing to us this great video very amazing.
Thank you, for giving information about the signs of ECU and Control Module failure. Thanks again for a very useful and helpful video

Thank you very much very well explained
Thanks for watching Mohcine!
I installed another engine in my 96 vet do I need to have my ecu need programed
it gets to the point at 2:00
If we emulate all signal normal to all part by pass ecu on normal conditions so make sure no faillure intentiinally
WERE IS E C U LOCATED ON A 2009 SIVERADO 5 POINT 3 ENGINE HOW MUCH $$ DO THEY COST
Should be in the engine bay on the driver's side right by the fuse box if u buy one u need to buy one pre programmed to your vin number
What is it, ECM or PCM ? Problems.
Miss the old days when cars where without all that electronics crap
Thanks for watching and the feed back.
This man said somereal life shit i betting my last dollar this is whats wrong with my car, im learning and humble
Thanks for watching. We appreciate it. Good luck with your car issues.
This video could have been half the length without the silly jokes and chit chat. I for one am not in the mood for it when I've potentially got a massive bill coming. It's just inappropriate 🤷♀️🙄
that's why i always travel with a spare ecu at hand to swap with if the old one starts acting different
Plug play ?? What about programing
Could also be a PCM problems too!
I hooked up the battery wrong and now my car won’t start I heard it could be the ecu
Good video for six year olds. Who do you think your target audience is, children?
Was thinking the same thing😂
For me it's the ECU stand's for educated clue useless. 😅 If you don't have a diagnostic tester to tell you what is the things to check. You could have a lot of guess's to what is going on.

Hey Justin I really appreciate you sharing your honest feedback! Thanks for watching
Great
off topic but the guy at 0:39 looks like a indian version of the rapper prodigy 🕊️
Good
Thanks!
Too much irrelevant babbling and no real solution to any problems. Fault with the car, handing it in to a workshop is the only tip.
Most of this is related to bad sensors and other components. The ECU is responding the way it should under those circumstances. Misleading, automated bunkum.
Well, the ecu controls the spark advance and ignition signal. Misfires can occur from malfunctioning ecu.
@@angusmcpherson Yes, but in practice, ECU failures are rare compared to O2 sensor malfunctions etc.

Why soo many analogies? You’re killing me
Like it

This video doesn't really deal with the issues with ECU too broad, sorry didn't help me at all!
Talk to uch about nothing
This is nice informative video but WAY TOO MANY SIMILES. . . like this dude must have had a very bad relationship along the way. Stick to the facts. The repair bill will be traumatic enough.
This video is dumb is just uses the same metaphors and similies over and over and gives very little information that helps
