the manufacturers website states: Green Wire is for VCM on/off operation and can only be left open or connected to ground. When connected to a ground source the unit will re-enable vcm operation. Leave unconnected to disable VCM/ECO. Blue Wire is for a future engine coolant level alarm/sensor to inform the vehicle owner the coolant level has dropped below a safe level which will be available in 2019.

I have 150,000 miles just installed the tuner 2 and it runs like a new car, I had a lot of hesitation when gears would change especially 1-2 and and I’m sure my engine mounts are wearing heavily due to that. Seems to have more power due to using all cylinders all the time and not hesitating deciding which gear it should be in. Much smoother and shifting way better. Had a lot of oil consumption, will have to wait to see how much it has improved. But boy what a difference I notice in smooth acceleration and shifting.

Wish I saw this video 4 years ago when I bought my 2010. I installed the VCM Tuner II 5 months ago. I was tired of the shaking car and consuming oil. I first noticed my issue last year when I went to do an oil change and only had 2 qts of oil empty from the van. Last night was the first oil change since the tuner was installed. I was happy to drain 4.1 qts. I wish I had installed it sooner. My 2010 had 186,000 miles on it when I installed it. I wish I new about this earlier before I bought the van a few years ago but if $120 buys me another year with the van then it’s money we’ll spent.

@@cowlumbus , My van is no longer consuming oil like it had in the past and no longer shuddering as I drive. My wife is also a fan of how it isn’t shaking anymore as it switches cylinders on/off. I justify the cost especially now since vehicle prices are up and if this prevents and engine failure causing me to buy a replacement car then it will have been worth it. I paid $135 which isn’t bad. Some people pay that between 3 oil changes. This $135 keeps me from having to get my funnel and oil out constantly each month. The constant shaking is gone which I feared the engine mounts would go which cost a lot. Yes I am sure damage has been done, but for $135 this prevents more damage that would require a high cost repair. It should also cut down on my spark plug replacement.

I just installed the S-VCM on my 2011 Honda Odyssey (75,930 mi.) this morning and then took it for a test drive. The engine seems to be running smoother and I can tell there is more power there when going from just cruising to accelerating. I paid $95.00 plus $11.00 shipping for this item and I was a bit disappointed when I got it. It is quite small and there isn't much to it. It comes with detailed installation instructions which insist you must follow in strict order. When I did that I found that after using the tiny zip ties provided I could not connect the S-VCM to the sensor because it wasn't long enough. I had to cut the ties, connect to the sensor, and then use my own zip ties (recommended) to secure the electrical harnesses.

I have a 2008 Odyssey Touring with 250-K miles. Love this vehicle but I have had issues. I maintain it well but I had VCM and oil leaks fixed, camshafts replaced due to engine Noise and oil consumption. I had timing belt and water pump/tensioner done in the past. Spark plugs repl and a coil pack. My last dealer repair was for oil Leaks but the never mentioned the option of a VCM shut off probably because it’s aftermarket. Sucks because I’m friends with the service manager, nice friend huh? They quoted me over $4000 to replace the rear of engine cat near firewall so I did it myself for $250 and a few hours labor , top bolt drivers side was a real mofo. I try to service it regularly but when dealing with this dealership they don’t search your service history and make proper recommendations and I feel like I have to overlook their recommendations and make my own as far as what needs to be done. I like to do my own work but I have my limitations. My last repair at dealer was a valve lash adjustment and spark plug change to correct an intermittent #5 misfire and check eng light. The light stayed off for a couple days then came back. I got another cyl 5 misfire and replaced the coil Pack myself and it has been out since and running fine. I have had oil consumption issues since day one and now after seeing this video I can see why the dealer never mentioned it. I worked at a Mercedes’ dealer as a tech and I know anything aftermarket makes them feel like you raped their mother and they won’t touch the car with a ten foot pole. I’d love to do this VCM delete but I don’t want to do it unless I know it’s not gonna cause catalytic converters issues and O2 sensor issues, overheating or egr issues. Can anyone answer this? Also one big upgrade I had to do is install some aftermarket front pads and rotors cause the factory brakes seem way undersized for this vehicle and it would not stop for crap. I installed the EBC YELLOW stuff pads and rotors and this thing stop ten times better now but the brakes do wear fast cause they’re softer but I’d rather replace them more often that not have brakes and warped rotors from the heat. I love this van and I keep it looking new, everyone even the techs always comment on how new my van looks. I want to keep this baby top notch for my wife to drive cause she absolutely Loves this thing but this darn VCM seems to be its biggest drawback and I’m tired of the oil consumption every 1000 miles. I just don’t want to do it if it will kill my cats.

Our Crosstour has 78041 miles. Cost to repair $3895.56. Cylinder 2 is the worst. Need to put new rings in Cylinders 1,2 and 3. New plugs. New Gasket and have to drop the oil pan. So new oil needed also. Have always, always run full synthetic. Hoping this will eradicate any future problem due to the damn VCM. Will it?

Done this a year ago but I fear its too late. I have a 2010 PILOT EX bought it with 155k miles on it it has 190k miles now. Never had good gas mileage, I average 14mpg in city 18-19 on highway. Right after I bought it I kept getting check engine light a full month before scheduled oil change. Every time it was always just low on oil, quart or more. Then after year or more had to replace 1 bad cat and o2 sensor, problems persisted crazy misfires. Dropped it off to a Honda dealer they changed spark plugs, fuel rail, and the air intake hose. None of which solve any issue they kept car 1 month charged near $1200and couldn't figure it out. I told them stop work I went picked it up took to a engine shop. This shop changed EGR valve cleaned EGR ports and PVC Valve. I still burn oil. Not as much as before about a quart low when i go get oil changes. I sill get an O2 sensor light occasionally.

I changed the spark plugs yesterday morning, drove 20 miles on the highway to work and the car started misfiring as soon as I got off the highway. From experience and also reading a few Honda forums it seems like spark plug #3 seems to get oil fouled and covered the most. Took the car off Craigslist last night and bought the s-vcm. Hoping this will fix the issue.

My experience when I installed the S-VCM suppressor on my 2012 5AT V6 Accord Coupe was the following: •Smoother Acceleration both from a standstill and mid drive •Overall car felt more powerful, particularly from 1500-3000 rpm, especially on 89 octane (but no notable difference on 91) •Faster Power when downshifting •Reduced need to downshift as 5th gear is more powerful on light throttle •Louder on light and mid throttle (VCM Suppressor disables active noise cancellation) •Better engine braking •No Change in MPG, maybe a slight increase •Decreased Oil consumption •*Reduced risk of "premature failure of parts like spark plugs, catalytic converters, engine mounts, pistons/rings, and cylinder walls"* Only issue I had was when it was hot out or if the device got jostled; it wouldn't disable VCM then. I did regret buying it because I ended up buying a Ktuner to tune my car, and you can disable it through there, so I wasted ~$150, but if you're not planning on tuning your car, it's well worth it.

because it's not a resistor that works on a fixed temperature. It's a controller that communicates with your ECU. The advantage is • More precise disabling • Provides closer readings to actual ECT, so your ECU is running your engine the best it can • Much less risk of engine damage if your engine overheats If your engine overheats, this device will tell your ECU, whereas VCM Muzzler will continue to provide false readings to the ECU.

A quick question - my 2012 odyssey runs and drives smooth.no overheat or no funny noise. noticed ECO light is on and off whenever I drive locally and HWY. Mpg is awful. I read VCM and still don’t get it.

unplug both upstream oxygen sensors it will delete vcm and your car will go like a rocket. you will get engine light ignore it. i tried vcm delete it works bad and increases fuel consumption a lot due to wrong low ecu readings of engine temperature.

I have a 2013 Honda odyssey and it’s misfiring and showing oil fouled plugs. Dealership said I need to replace piston rings. Did some research online and people were saying that I should install one of these and replace the spark plugs. Apparently a common problem. Anyone do this and have success?

I had to replace piston rings on a 13 Pilot along with all spark plugs. I also had to replace an oil pressure sensor, transmission pressure switch, and coil pack for a misfire on cylinder 3. All of those were check engine lights. After all of these I did my research and got a similar product. Upon installation no check engine lights for over a year. 🙂

OK, I am interested in buying this but have a few reservations. I have a 2015 crosstour with the 3.5L V6 and it has that VCM crap and I hate it. I understand how this works - it tricks the ECM into thinking the engine is too cool, thereby disabling the ECO mode. Only thing, if the ECM thinks the engine is too cool, doesn’t it increase the fuel input until the engine is up to temperature? I thought all engines basically operated this way when they’re cold - run fuel-rich until engine is up to normal temp. So my concern is, I don’t want the engine to be running fuel -rich all the time and effectively washing down the cylinder walls. Anybody else have this concern?

@@GucciGamerTV Hey man, I ended up buying it, and it works great! In fact, I corresponded with the guy who sells them a few times on email and he put any fears I had to rest. Yes, it basically tricks the engine into running just barely below its normal operating temperature, but it’s essentially negligible on the temp gauge, at least on my car it is. The temp sent to the ECM is just low enough to keep that stupid ecomode from coming in. I’ve been really happy with the tuner. Think I put it in about two months ago and it’s done great ever since, we’ll worth the money… p.s. he assured me that it is not running in the fuel rich, warmup mode Says the temperature reported to the ECM is not that low but just under threshold to keep ecomode defeated.

Please someone help, I installed this into my wife’s 2013 V6 3.5L Honda Pilot. Works great but she gets like a long lasting up to 1 minute, other times less sounds like a little siren in the truck? I’ve been looking online everywhere and cannot find a solution. Everything is good. Everything is running perfectly fine. It’s just that she gets this weird siren sound at least once a day when she’s driving sometimes more than once. If anyone knows where the sound boxes are located that would be great. It is not, the seatbelt sound by the way. It sounds very different. It’s like a low tone siren that becomes very annoying. Please help if you know anything or where the sound points are that I can start disconnecting these little sound boxes, thank you.

What if I’m already having issues?? I do food delivery so I drive my 2014 Honda odyssey quite a bit. Brought the car at 112,000 miles and in a year it has 150,000+ on it. I noticed that in one year I’ve gotten at least 5 oil changes cause I always do the oil changes as recommended by the dealer to do so when the oil change light indicates for me to do so. So I was still thinking dang I’m getting a lot of oil changes what’s really good I know I drive a lot but dang. So fast forward not my check engine light is blinking fcw failed is on lcw is on and the car with the squiggly tracks behind is on. Took it to Firestone they initially said it needed a tune up took it int then they say take it to the dealer it must be electrical. Then I find this video which perfectly describes my issue. My question is how do I know if I’m too late to install the vcm on my vehicle has damage been done?!
