Will This Fix My Problem?
Honest answer: here's exactly what this service fixes — and what it doesn't.
Fixes:
- ✓Used ECU swap — donor ECU paired to original Honda, won't start in recipient
- ✓Failed HDS key-programming attempt left the immobilizer chain broken
- ✓All keys lost + no Honda/Acura dealer or HDS-equipped shop nearby
- ✓Aftermarket alarm tap broke the IMMO loop
- ✓Anti-theft warning persists after immobilizer module replacement
Won't fix:
- ✗Failed fuel pump, distributor, or ignition coil
- ✗Mechanical engine issues unrelated to immobilizer
- ✗Aftermarket ECU tunes (Hondata, KTuner) — those have their own paths
