Posting on behalf of my Grandad. He has a 2.2 8th gen diesel, last week the car alarm went off when unlocking the car using the fob. Alarm would stop now and then and come back. Engine wouldn't start and the green key symbol would come up on the dash.
Had an autoelectrician out who thought the keys needed reprogramming. The battery was flat on the car and they put the jump leads on and the engine would tick over but not start. Took it too Honda and they have had difficulty programming the keys and it could be the ECU. They're running some more tests to clarify it.
But if it is the case of needing another ECU, how easy is it to change over myself using a second hand one?
Cheers
