VIN mismatch

Post by lemondoz »

To preface, im likely dumb and it's in no way Ktuner's fault for this. Just in need of a bit of assistance.

2005 Honda Integra Base Auto (AUDM)
Situation:
- Unlocked the Ktuner chip from my ecu successfully. (Selling the car soon)
- Had a CEL but was sure it was other issues.
- Took it to the mechanic to get other mechanical issues amended they noted a code flagging a mismatched VIN.
- Car still runs fine and all keys work.



Just wondering what my options are to fix this and where I went wrong. Again, im a dummy and not Ktuner's fault.

Cheers!

Update managed to rewrite the ecu VIN but these CEL's still persist:
- p0661
- p0452
- p0498
- p2610

We don't list any AUDM part numbers as supported on our website, but your post makes it sound like you used one. Go back to your original ECU or find an unmodified one.

Ahh understood. Don't expect you to know this but do you know if i can just straight swap same model ecu's and drive? Or do i need programming?

Appreciate the support.

I'd imagine so if the vehicle didn't change.
