NOTE: Information used in this DIY has been obtained from PGMFI.org and applied to the AUDM ECU



Hi Guys,

Dont pay to have your Imobiliser removed from your DC2R P73 ECU, do it your self. Just take time and some care as it is so easy to do.






Aim: Remove the Factory Immobiliser from the DC2R OBDIIa ECU


Required:

- soldering Iron
- solder
- solder sucker
- soldering skills
- Philips Head screw driver
- Anti Static Strap




Step 1

- remove the ECU from the car.
- put on the anti static wrist strap and connect the aligator connector to the body of the ecu.
- Remove the top and bottom ECU covers to expose the ECU components. The bellow pic is what you will be confronted with.

http://ecu-man.com/diy/dc2r-immo-remove/P72-immo-remove-002.jpg


- the riser PCB in the yellow circle in the above pic is part of the immobiliser,

what we have to do is bypass it by setting a few jumpers on the ECU.

STEP 2


- locate J20 on the underside of the ECU and join it with a blob of solder.
if that is to messy and difficult for you, you can use a peice of wire and solder it in to make the bridge. see bellow pic

http://ecu-man.com/diy/dc2r-immo-remove/P72-immo-remove-006.jpg

STEP 3

- locate RP23 on the underside of the ECU and join it with a blob of solder.
if that is to messy and difficult for you, you can use a peice of wire and solder it in to make the bridge. see bellow pic


http://ecu-man.com/diy/dc2r-immo-remove/P72-immo-remove-007.jpg


STEP 4

- Locate RP24 on the top side of the ECU next to the MCU ( yelllow arrow pic bellow ). You have to remove the 0 ohm resistor that is bridging the pads. apply heat on both side of the 0 ohm resistor and pry it off with your soldering iron tip, clean up the area making sure solder is not splattered everywhere.

http://ecu-man.com/diy/dc2r-immo-remove/P72-immo-remove-009.jpg


thats it, your Immobiliser is bypassed. I like to remove the Immo PCB as well, makes no difference but I like to keep them as a souvenir.



so if you want to remove yours remove the thing in the yellow circle in pic bellow.

http://ecu-man.com/diy/dc2r-immo-remove/P72-immo-remove-008.jpg

the ECU will now start any B18C in any car with out any fault codes



This type of immobiliser is a IMMO A0, as printed on the ECU, for other types of ECU'z you can remove this module to bypass the Immobiliser, however you may have a fault code constantly in the ECU and the MIL always on.

I can Supply you a Bypass Module (http://ecu-man.com/tech/immo/immo-bypass-001.jpg)for IMMO-AO ( any OBDIIa ECU ) or the HIC-FX01 and HIC-FX02 OBDIIb ( EM1, S2000 ) ECU's. Bypass Modules are a replacment (http://ecu-man.com/tech/immo/immo-bypass-004.jpg) PCB for the IMMO-AO and HIC-FX01 boards to bypass the immo. PM me for more details.

Confirm this method works on the below ECU's listed with ECU PCB ( M1Y-C 0014T - L5000 - 01 )

P73 from DC2R
P30 from 97 CRX
P2T from EK4 ecu ( thanks to Phuong1987 )
P72 from DC2 Integra ( thanks to VTec1987 )
P2P from EK VTi ( thanks to VTec1987 )

if you have used this method with success on a ECU not listed above, Post the ECU modle number and car it suits here.

this type of immobiliser is a IMMO A0, as printed on the ECU

Is this found on the little sticker? Just asking cause i can't seem to find it on this Aussie Spec ITR ecu i got.

ECU-MAN

Im pretty sure it is,

you can open the ECU and if it looks the same as the one in the photos in this DIY then it will work.

good luck

bumping an old thread

just wondering when you perform the immobiliser removal, does that mean you don't need the transponder in your key anymore? i.e. start the car from a blank key
or does it only stop your car from having fault codes when using an ecu from another car

ECU-MAN
28-11-2008, 10:16 AM
it allows you to use that ecu in any car

however if you have a car with the IMMO-AO system, you remove the ECU immo, the chassis still has an Immo control module that looks for the transponder and then allows the stater motor to operate.

you would have to remove and bypass that module if you want to use non programed keys to start the car with such keys.

hi guys. new here, but being that i found the info that i needed, i like this place :)
i just bought a p73_A04 ecu from someone on honda-tech, and only after realized that it had the immobilizer.

after looking at the ecu, it seems it is a different revision as there are no printing marks on the back side. the stamp on the top side is A3Y-B 001AC-L5002-00.

has anyone successfully removed the immob. from this board and can shed some light for me on which jumpers i need to modify? second question, if it is not possible to remove the immobilizer from this ecu without breaking it out, and the check engine light is on, can it still pass emissions?

thanks for any info yall can give.

ECU-MAN
08-01-2009, 08:40 AM
if your ECU is different to that of this DIY then it has to be figured out on how to do it.

regardless of this method I have other ways to remove the IMMO-AO
PM me if you need me to do it for you. I can disable any IMMO-AO in any ECU

After removing the IMMO board from my 1998 CXi the CEL came on after half an hour. do I have to join J20 and RP23 and remove RP24 for CEL to disappear? The ECU does not have a J20 but has RP23 and RP24.

Great job MAN!
Now, i tried to send an PM to you ECU-MAN but it said that you have exceeded your stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until you clear some space. So can you give me you email ? Send it to my PM, because i need to get some details about bypass module for my Honda Civic with the ECU 37820-PHX-G11. I just have to disable the immo by replacing it by the second one you shows on the picture (i have HIC-RL01) http://b16a2.kicks-ass.net/tech/immo/immo-bypass-001.jpg I'm waiting for your replay. Best regards.

Hi, i take USDM is from the states? Excuse my ignorance. i would think it is a UK model.

ECU-MAN
13-04-2011, 09:19 AM
yes USDM = United States Domestic Market

regardless if the ECU PCB is identical to the ECU in this DIY then you can use this method. If it is different then you can damage the ECU my making changes to the jumpers. Thats why I made the bypass modules for IMMO-AO and HIC-FX01. the PK9 uses a IMMO-AO so regardless of the ECU PCB type it can be bypassed.

check your PGMFI wiring

this DIY should have no impact on the operation of the ECU if you have done it exactly as described. get it wrong the ECU can behave weirdly or even damage can occur

Hi ecu man,

I have a EM1 Civic VtiR that we did a 99 spec b16b swap. They supplied me with a obd2a ecu and the harness has a obd2b connectors. I was at Lan's and he had a obd2b ecu but it seems that the ecu has a immobilizer. Now should i buy his ecu and get the immobilizer removed or use the obd2a ecu with a convertion harness?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

sorry to resurrect such an old thread. I'm trying to do this to a 98' honda accord and the chip says HIC-FX01 for the immobilizer. I'm taking it that I'll need one of those bypass chips? ECU-MAN, do you sell those to people in the US? If so, I'll gladly buy one off you. I sent you a PM and then found this thread. I'd really appreciate anything you could do.

hi ecu man im hoping you could help out with this problem im having .you see i fail the emission test today, i was told its due to the knock sensor cel code on .( i did the immo bypass using p2p ecu form a d16y8 96 coupe ) carefully using your instruction . went for a drive the cell light came on .. checked it ...knock sensor .is there another way i could disable this ? ive tried several knock sensor no joy ...i figure there's must be something ive done wrong,im now looking to go d16y7 or d16z6 if i cant solve it.
i must add that my civc ek3 import originally had a d15z5 before the swap to d16y8.in the uk 96 civic carries the immobilizer in the ecu ...before ...
what you suggest i do

Hey ECU-MAN. I'm a new member and it looks like I can't send PMs yet.

I'm trying to fix up a friend's 1998 Civic. The model might be what they call EK1—sorry, not sure. I need to bypass the immobilizer in the ECU.

The ECU type is P2K. Will your DIY mod work on this unit? If not, is there some other way to get past the problem?

Hope you can help me—thanks for your time.

you cannot bypass the immobiliser on that ECU with this DIY, as mentioned on the first page you need a bypass module if you have a different ECU to that of the DIY.
I can provide a Immo Bypass Module, PM me for more info

Hi

First of all thanks for this thread. While it didn't help my situation. It does have some info that I was looking for.

Also I have the EM1 p2t with the FX chip in it. I found that removing the chip from the board completely solved the issue.

Probably not the correct way to go about it but it did work.

If the engine runs with out that board I'm truly amazed. Is it an AUDM ECU and Engine?.


AUDM was B16A2, JDM was B16A, not sure about EM1 SI, we got the VTIR Coupe that was the EM1.


JDM ECU's do not have the immobiliser either. I look forward to more pics of the ECU. If you can get a macro photo of the processor (biggest square chip in ECU) I would love to know the large 3 digits etched on it to compare with known AUDM ECU's.


Do you know the History of your ECU ? where it came from ?

I know the engine is AUDM as it is a B16A2

all I know about the ECU is its from an EM1 and was in an EK with this motor and box before I got it and put it in the EG. (different wiring harness)

I have this pic if it helps.

37820-P7A-G01 ECU.
Sometimes when I try to start, only the starter runs, but the engine don't have ignition nor fuel. I remove the key, put it again and after some trials, it works.
Yesterday, I was driving, the green light with the key light on for about 1 second...
4 years ago my Honda dealer have done this : parts 39730s04G02 (immobilizer unit) and 39400S50003 (main relay)
So I would like to remove the immobiliser system.
I have openned my ECU and on the small board, (not an IMMO A0 it seems):
Honda HIC-RLO1
DELCO:16244639
4639190411189

If anyone may tell me how to do this I would be very happy!

you need a Immo bypass module for that ECU




PM me if you would me to supply you with one.

EDIT: Nevermind.... I ripped the chip at the top out and the car started fine :) (5 minutes later, as expected, I found the old key)

Hi there, I think I have a similar board as tony822. His is a G11 but mine is G12. 37820-PHX-G12 to be exact.
I lost my only key and if I want my new key to work I'm going to have to bring the car to the dealership. Which is 700 km away from me and it would likely be cheaper to scrap the car and buy another car.
I already bought a new key, but was hoping to be able to skip the 700 km trip with a non working car, and disable the immobilizer :)
Could you guys help me in any way?
Can I do this myself or do I need to buy a chip or something like that?

Do you get an error code with the immo board removed ?

The check engine light was already on because of an o2 sensor issue. I have not checked if there are more errors now, but I'm guessing yes. I'll connect it to my computer and let you know what errors pop up.
When I start it now, I have to switch the ignition on, wait about 5 seconds and then start.
If I try starting without the way time, it's just going to start without success for those 5 seconds and then turn the engine on.

Guess I would need some kind of a dummy chip if that was an issue for me, but in my case, I just start it like it was a diesel, the wait time is fine by me :)

P1607 - Manufacturer specific code. Please refer to your vehicle's service manual for more information.

I'm guessing it's this one...

yeah that is the OBDII code when you remove the immo module for non AUDM ECU's


let me know if you need the bypass module (dummy chip as you described)

hi, this is my first post on this forum, go easy on me :)

A lad at work owns a car breakers and he asked me if it is possible to bypass the immobiliser on a 1998 civic 1.4 petrol, is the ecu on his car, the same as the ecu that this thread is about ?

thanks in advance

**edit** he reckons this is something to do with the immobiliser ??

Hi


I'm guessing your not in Australia as that Immobiliser Control unit differs from our Megamos Control Unit. Your friends ECU would probably be the P2P type (two ECU connectors) that is different to this DIY.


I can supply a bypass module for the Immobiliser if needed however you will need to post a picture of the inside of the ECU.

Yeh I am a wee bit far away from you lol, I'm in Northern Ireland. No way of us doing it diy then :-( ahh well, any other way round it ?

if your ECU looks different to the one in the DIY then you need to purchase a bypass module.


I can supply you with one if needed.

Based on the length of this thread, it looks like you've been doing this for quite a while ECU-MAN..
I am inclined to trust your judgement and would be interested in getting one of your bypass modules sent here to Norway, but I'd like to know more about what it does and why.
I have 3 EJ9 Civics and I think all of them have the same P3Y ECU.
My son somehow peeled away the black part exposing the chips on the keys on one of the cars .. (he lost one chip and the other one is being held in place with electrical tape..)
I want to remove or disable the immobilizer altogether.
Do I need to find some chip sensor box under the dash as well?

Your P3Y ECU is much like our P2K ECU for the D16Y4, so yes you will need a bypass module for those ECU's.

Once the bypass module is installed you must then bypass the starter cut relay by jumping 2 wires.

So.....
Do you provide this bypass module?
Price?
I'd still like to know exactly what the module will do. (I'm inquisitive by nature and like to know how things work.)
Could you also tell me more about the starter-cut relay. where should it be located and is it just a matter of bridging the 2 wires in the connector?


I'm really curious about what it would take to run this little D14 out of the car.
The chassis has rust and I can't get the car approved as roadworthy anymore but the drivetrain is still fine.
I'd like to make a tracked vehicle with the engine and transaxle but would need to know the engine would run.
I know I will need fuel and a battery.. + wiring harness on the engine, probably fuse box in the engine bay and the ECU.
How could I get a hold of the circuitry diagrams for the electrical system?
I could get rid of any unnecessary electrical equipment and only keep the necessities.
Set up a push button start and kill switch.
This could be fun....

fyi, I converted my ek1 d16y4 to a d16y5, p2m ecu from a 1998 VTI Sedan.

Symptoms I was having were
Car starter turns over, has ignition/spark but injectors do not operate.
Car does have fuel pressure, fuel pump prime.
I've checked injectors with a test-light probe on all 4 injectors and none of them are pulsing on the ground side.

After racking my brain for a few months, double, triple checking everything - it turned out to be this that solved the problem.

Big thanks to John! Such an asset to this community!

Hey ECU-MAN, my mother in law's 2000 Civic got stolen and recovered. The thieves trashed the ignition barrel. My father in law has replaced that with one from a wreck but still can't start the car - he says due to the immobiliser.

The ECU is a P2K I think - it has on it:

37820-p2k-q52
153-206429
3C

Can you give me any suggestions to get the car running again? They don't want to spend much because until it's fired up we don't even know just how much damage the thieves did.

Let me know.

Tried to PM you but my sent folder says "zero"... not sure if it is working.
