3 yr old computer box needs replacement??!

[kuyapete]

mga mods, i have posted the same thread sa honda forum, just reposting here bec urgent ang tulong niyo. thanks.

I have a 3 yr old 7th gen honda accord, 40t km pa lang mileage. nag lock ung automatic shift the other day, dinala ko sa sa honda alabang, ang sabi ng technician nasira daw computer box ko and needs to be replaced. ang super inis ko ka eexpire lang ng warranty ko! Is there a place where I can bring my accord to get a second opinion? i just have this feeling na niloloko lang ako ng honda alabang e by charging me too much e. thanks for your help.

bro,magsecond opinion ka.wala namang masama kung ipacheck mo sa iba tutal naman eh expired na warranty mo sa casa.

Damn... that's bad news. While it's extremely rare, it's not impossible for a box to suddenly fail. Try asking at other Honda casas... see if they'll still cover it... but you might not have any luck.

I've heard there are some electricians who can revive a dead Honda box. But that's a risk to take only if it's proven that the box is completely fried.

44k is about right for a brand new box... but you might get lucky and find a secondhand one. All I can say is: hunt.

search this page for the k-test

although the author says it is for the civic, might work for the accord.

it is method he developed for testing the ECU. have not tried it though but it looks simple and harmless. but you need a manual (to locate the parts mentioned if ur not familiar with it) and a multi tester.

you can browse for the reviews of the method.

this is just an alternative method. maybe you can have you ECU check in some shops who have some spare ECU for your car.

thanks guys. update ko lang kayo. i pulled it out of honda alabang and transferred it to honda magallanes, only to find out iisa pala mayari. but we know someone from the inside who thinks he can pass the ecu as under warranty. so, we will see.

kung merun kang lawyer na friend, try mo iconsult ang opinion niya...there is no reason for that to happen (i think) unless it was a factory defect...usually a defective sensor rather than an ecu problem.

hindi kaya nabasa ang ecu mo?
