Has it got a 16 pin eobd socket or round Mercedes socket. You just need a plug to match. If no coms you will probably have a problem with your diagnostics gear or try getting come with a different ecu.

SOURCE: 2002 Chrysler Town and Country limp mode

Hello, I have the same problem with my 2002 neon. I was told it was the solenoid pack. I purchased one on eBay (the garage want around $200) for $88. I also bought on eBay the input and output VSS(vehicle speed sensors) for $25 for both. Autozone has these sensors for $27 each. I am going to replace these parts in a day or so to see if it helps.I dont have a garage and its cold outside here in West Virginia. I have also been told to check the ground straps to make sure they are getting good connections. They are located at the starter. I will let you know how this turns out for me when I do the repairs. I have been reading many forums where others are having the same problems. If you have learned anything from your experience please let me know.
Thank you,Dave

SOURCE: limp mode?

It may have a "loss of prime" code that usually follows a service of the fluid and filter. After you're sure the fluid is full at operating temperature, disconnect the battery for a few minutes and reconnect to see if the code resets. I hope this helps.

WIKI SAYS

the sole engine for the Formula and Trans Am was the 5.7 L LT1 V8, essentially identical to the LT1 in the C4 Corvette except for more flow-restrictive intake and exhaust systems.

AND THIS GEM FROM WIKI TOO

While 1995 cars still used the OBD-I (on-board diagnostic) computer system (the last year of any American car including the F-body to use OBD-I), a majority of them had OBD-II connector ports under the dash.

SOME CARS IN 1995 HAD OBD2 CONNECTOR THERE BUT WAS IN FACT OBD1, AS PHASE IN PLAN FOR 1996,
OR NEEDED SOME ODD ADAPTER.

How to programming Chevrolet now ECU 2005 car I change are northern ECU

Reprogramming involves taking the following steps, but there may be car-model-related variations so only do the job for real with the specific EcuTek instruction manual alongside you.
  1. Connect the vehicle interface cable to the OBD-II connector and turn the ignition switch to ON
  2. Open the ProECU software and choose Tools then Detect Vehicle
  3. Select Program Engine ECU
  4. Choose Query ECU to identify the ECU version fitted to the car
  5. Select Choose ROM File and pick the relevant modified ROM file to program into the ECU
  6. Enter the ROM filename or your unique name for the ROM file in the Comments box so that in future you know exactly which ROM is in the ECU
  7. Ensure that all electrical consumers about the car (such as interior lights, heater blower, stereo etc.) are turned OFF and that mobile phones are kept away from the car
  8. Choose Program ECU
  9. After programming the ECU, follow the on-screen instruction to cycle the Ignition
  10. Start the engine

2002 rodeo is my obd ground bad my ecu wont communicate and horn wont blow but fuse is good

great question, im ane ECU spirt. )EFI.
what country, nobody ever says, that but gee, the OBD varies buy
COUNTRY!
Ill pretend USA. /Canada.

In the USA the car has OBD2. and you need a scan tool that works
on 2002 cars.
what engine, some engines have different ECU. radical differ..
they had like 3 engines here, other countries 9.

the scan tools connects to the 16pin, OBD2 connector at dash.
i the car is Can-bus. it needs a can-bus tool, all new tools work on canbus but old ones never do. (i have them back to 1995 and know this)
NON comms and tool is ok, not wrong tool . diagnosis.


  1. Pin 16 not at 12vdc, (blown fuse)
  2. ECU dead, 99% of time blown fuse to EFI. test the fuses to all EFI parts. alldata.com wiring shows that.
  3. bad wiring to the DCL connector (rare) or from there to ECU
  4. yes, some crappy tools have no ground on both pin 4 and 5, buy a tool that has 2 pins there. OR it will fail on some cars. seen many POS ELM327 tools that do this horror, get a tool called, INNOVA 3160 and stop guessing, this tool works on all cars.
  5. barrow, rent , or buy or ask any sharp mech top scan car , his tool works.
  6. Fuses that look ok can IN FACT be bad, we never assume they ar good we test them. using either method, OHMS or 12vdc on both sides, is better. see? only the voltage matters, all else punts.
  7. The 3.3l communicates on pin 1 and 2..
pin 2 is PCM/ECU. VPW signalling.
and is not can-bus, yet.
simular to this.

ECU location

If it is in there check also on the drivers side of the engine block. Often , on new models the ECU is mounted behind the fuel filter housing.
Another way to find the ECU is following the wiring that are coming from the fuse box, on one way they go toward the device, on the other they go to the car computer

Here is the ECU:

If you need replacement you can buy here :
Dodge Sprinter Auto Parts & More
Here you can also buy the Chilton repair manual with illustrations for all car parts and all step-by-step iillustrated procedures, this is a must if you want to DIY your vehicle.
Dodge Sprinter Repair Manual - Partstrain.com
Here is a cheaper manual, with immediate download, I do not know if it is good: MANUAL, SERVICE - Downloads

I see If I can find a precise schematic, or a picture, in case I will post it tomorrow, as now I am going offline.

ECU unit

I purchased and downloaded a shop manual for the vehicle and found that the ECU was located under the left, or driver's side of the dashboard. Thank you Ginko for suggesting the purchase of that item.
