car, motorcycle programming or decoding

[Pascal Komlassan]

Hello friends. I would like to know if someone is programming or decoding autommobiles (car, motorcycle)

What are you looking for? I do those things to a point... I lean more towards circuit repairs and reverse engineering on ECU circuits.

well hi my brother I do the repair and screen programming; laptop; desktop; and projector. but I want to get into electro-mechanics and car programming
so I'll need someone who knows a little bit about shared ideas and everyone can bring their idea

Re: car, motorcycle programming or decoding

car ECUs get faulty rarely. Thus, you have to work in a big city to receive many faulty ECUs a month. you cannot open a repairshop just for ECU, because no costumer brings his/her car to you for ECU problems. instead, they go to car repair centers. therefore, you have to find a number of car repair centers that outsource their ECU repairs to you.
A ECU does not need only programming. they usually need IC replacement. Thus, you have to learn ECU ICs. First, study ECU boards comprehensively to find out whether you can fix them or not.

Hey. Okay cool.

So how much do you know about cars? more so the electronic systems?

Mind me asking: What made you want to move into car electronic repairs / diagnostics / flashing?

Re: car, motorcycle programming or decoding

you need to study all the communication methods .
then there are things like can bus .
then learn about immobilisers .
once you understand how it works then you can start playing around with it .

Hi my brother. what prompted me to learn this stuff is that I had a 2002 diesel-powered FORD-FOCUS car that often has electronic breakdowns that the lomé mechanic can not diagonspare

Re: car, motorcycle programming or decoding

I also hav this problem,my car is Ford Fiesta 2002 1.4dtci diesel wchich is giving me EAC fail and is running slow by losing its power.we hav changed its Pedal accelerator,clean ,clean its debimet

Re: car, motorcycle programming or decoding

Has anybody encounter this problem or ford fiesta 1.4 DTCI ?how to solve it

Ahh interesting. Yeah its because taking it to a mechanic or some shop would always cost a lot and then you have to worry about the repair shop and/or mechanic. You don't ever really know if they really know what they are doing.... People always assume the mechanics and repair shop know what they are doing...

Anyways I have a lot of info regarding this. But I think you'd be better off learning some basics first, and luckily on Youtube there's a guy or 2 that I enjoy watching. One is scanner danner. His diagnostic style is very good, only sucky thing is he has a large brigade of tools backing him up. But you don't always need all those tools.

If you know the fundamentals you should be okay with just a multimeter. If you have a scope even better, alto you need 20:1 or some other probes for doing the Ignition tests but the rest you should be okay with. Like the Cam/Crank sensors and so on.

The other guy on youtube is LM Auto repairs. He's pretty good as well. And he sometimes do boardlevel repairs on the ECU's which is nice because that's where we come from....

If you can you should find some ECU documentation better if you can find a ECU(Physical) and documentation about it. So that you can play and fiddle with it. Study it and understand it. A common and easy one to get info on is the Bosch ME7.1/7.5 There are a lot available for that ECU. And it could be easy to get a physical one even if its broken... ECU's are pretty much all the same shit. Some do more some do less. Some share things some don't some cars have many some only one... So its pretty strait forward. But most importantly you shouldn't ever do anything you don't know because they are expensive esp the newer ones.... So you have to take that into consideration.

Maybe from a junkyard? They are in the VW/Audi which are plenty of.

Overall just read as much as possible. Other than that you can obviously ask here I'd answer whatever you ask best to my knowledge. I'm no pro yet though so take that in mind.

EDIT: You have to learn the basics of Auto electronics as well. Understand how things work in cars. Like take some wiring diagrams and see how things are handled esp with ground side switching. I mean auto electronics as in the bare basics. How the electric system is connected and setup in cars. Because you can have voltage at some places but no current flow. And not knowing how its setup you could miss diagnose things...

ok thank you very much my brother. I took a good note and I will keep you informed on advance

Re: car, motorcycle programming or decoding

AS i already said my car is ford fiesta 2002 1.4 dtci DIESEL
Can you tell me by this giving information if my flow sensor is faulty:
-at key on ,the 4th pin of my flow sensor gives me 0volt and the 5th gives 0V
-when i start the car the 4th pin still remains at 0V but the 5th gives up to 1.90 with acceleraring the pedal gase but cannot even reach 2V

hope you will help me

what codes does your scan tool say ?

[Esse]

Re: car, motorcycle programming or decoding

i continue testing my flow sensor,now car on i get 2V on the pin 5 and when i accelerate the gase pedal i getting 2.4 OR 2.5 so on.but the problem is ,when still accelerating the EAC fail come on the board ,at the same time the voltage at pin 5 come straight down at 1.05 and it starts getting down and up like 1.04 to 2.0V
PLEASE can you tell me if my flow sensor is good?

[petehall347]

Re: car, motorcycle programming or decoding

i need to know the codes and the symptoms .
what is this ? "the EAC fail come on the board"
if you are talking about the MAF sensor unplug it and see what happens

[petehall347]

Re: car, motorcycle programming or decoding

best check live data to see what is not working properly .

Re: car, motorcycle programming or decoding

Please what is live data?and how to you check that
