Review on Renault CAN/K-Line ECU Tool (ecu decoder)

Review on Renault CAN/K-Line ECU Tool (ecu decoder use renault can clip)

Have used my Renault ECU decoder for 2 months around. And wanna share some experience of it with you all here.

Price i got it: less than $20

My source: http://www.obd2france.com/ (introduced by fellows in a forum)

The ECU decoder i got:

The main unit

The inner cables and printed circuited board

(sorry for my phone resolution)

Reason why i think i need this ecu decoder for Renault:

From the year 1994 most Renault cars are equipped with engine immobilizer system and it makes replacement of injection computer more complicated. There is no problem if replacement ECU is bought from Renault service dealer - it is sold with no immobilizer code stored, but replacing damaged computer with used one is impossible because of mismatch of unlocking codes.

Decoding tool has several modes of operation and deals with all known petrol and diesel injection systems, introduced in range of year 1994-2001 without intervention in to the ECU (diesel coded anti-start valve as well). After decoding process is completed, control unit became decoded - as it was bought from dealer. ECU must be taken out from the car and connected to the decoding tool according to user manual.

Some systems this tool was tested with:

Petrol

SIEMENS FENIX3

SIEMENS FENIX5

SIEMENS SIRIUS32

SAGEM SAFIR (55pin)

SAGEM SAFIR2 (35pin)

BOSCH MOTRONIC MP7.0

MAGNETI MARELLI IAW 06R

Diesel

BOSCH MSA15.5 (DTI)

BOSCH EDC15C3 (DCI)

LUCAS DCU3R (1.9D)

Coded fuel cut-off valve (1.9D DDS)

Decoding of engine control units manufactured in range of year 1994-1996 is semi-automatic, from year 1996 - fully automated. Especially this tool can be useful when rubber-filled FENIX5, SAFIR2 or coded diesel anti-start valve must be decoded. This tool will decode all listed type 1 and 2 immobilizer systems..

The following ECU's will need a valid immo code:

* Some of FENIX5 for LAGUNA/SAFRANE 2.0l 16V

* All of SIRIUS32 except for KANGOO 1.4l 16V - You can attach the immo emulator on this ECU after decoding

* LUCAS DCU3R, Bosch MSA15.5 and EDC15C3

This means that after the decoding procedure on one of these ECU is done, you must have the immobilizer system fully operational (matching key) to start the engine.

Otherwise after decoding the above ECU's you can use a Renault emulator as found here.
