It doesnt seem to be much of a deterrent to most thieves - they've got all the electronic gizmos anyway these days from what I see on TV. Jules

They do indeed. The crooks are ahead of the manufacturers and the police, but it's designed to help reduce thefts by the casual crook. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

Your explanation of the VIN coding is both credible and convincing ... however that does not make it any more appealing in the real world. Here, the owner should have free access to full control over all elements of the vehicle's components. Should this be by a freely issued code from the manufacturer upon proof of ownership, or not, could be a matter for debate. But free uninhibited access should be the owners right. These restrictive practices should be illegal.

As for SDD being able to overwrite an existing VIN in the ABS Brake Control Module, I would be delighted if you could prove that my failure to do this was due to operator error - in my opinion that is more than possible.

When you used SDD to set up a replacement module, what option did you use?
I've found the CONFIGURE NEW MODULE option works for a second hand ECM, which the LR dealer told me it wouldn't work but it did. I was even able to configure the incorrect Stop Start ECM to my vehicle and it still worked. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.

Well done with those successes. When I tried it, I also used the Configure New Module route, but it wasn't having it. I tried several times without any joy, that's when I gave up and sent it to ControlUnits.

Good afternoon. Did you manage to solve the problem with the abs block? My car has the same problem, I haven't been able to solve it for two years.

Good day Uyrikss,

Ah yes, the good old ABS issue. If you look back, you can see the process I had to go through to get the system to recognise the new unit - get it "virginalised" and then re-programmed as a new module via SDD. Once this was done all should have been well, except it isn't quite. If your problem is the same as the one I have now - ABS locking on one side until stationary - then I'm afraid I can't help, as I've just lived with it and could not be bothered to investigate further. Sometimes life is just too short, and motivation too scarce.
Either way, I wish you the best of luck with yours.

Chris

A big thank you for the suggestions as to how to solve the issue of my ABS module...but no luck.

Having sourced SDD and a chinese copy of the Mongoose Pro lead, I still cannot get SDD to work. Either it tells me it can't read the VIN - which I have already manually entered into the system to start with - or it tells me there is a communications error, despite SDD working in other (less important) areas. Even when I switch back to the original module (which I use to start the car and then switch over to the 2nd hand one to get rid of the ABS warnings) there is still nothing I can seem to achieve. Once again it won't se the VIN.

I have even tried the good bods at GAP Diagnostics to see if their IID tool will do the job. Their reply was "We can add the routines in the tool for ABS replacement but we cannot say it will work for a used ABS unit." Helpful in itself, but not enough for me to risk £400 for a tool that may not work.

Any additional suggestions - either about what I'm failing to do with SDD, or whatever else I can try - would be most gratefully received. It is inconceivable that I am the first to have address such an issue, what solution have other folf found?

Alternatively I may just need to find a convenient cliff to push the bloody thing over!



Sorry for replying to an old post.

Just a heads up for everyone, using GAP IID with the help of Patrick, we have managed to mate a used/replacement ABS to a FL2 / LR2 with VIN SALFA2BD9BH###### and make it start this week.
Just make sure numbers / marks of existing ABS and used ABS are the same.
I dont work for GAP ... I do run a LR independent shop.

I just wanted to share this since I've gotten a lot of valuable info in this forum and I thought I'd do my part and share this info for those who are and will encounter the same problem.

I still dont understand why an ABS unit needs to be coded to a VIN

Is there an organised crime syndicate selling stolen ABS units for Landrovers ?

Yes, LR themselves...it does not need to be coded ( they just make it so) just only fixed by greedy LR until they tell you a price that makes the repair not viable or they simply refuse to fix the problem out of warranty. Amazingly short term thinking business model.
