How to Update Accord 2009 ECU with Honda HDS HIM?

 Honda tutorial: update ECU maps / firmware using Honda HIM diagnostic system (Europe).  This user has updated his Accord 2009 EU from 37805-RL0-F010 to 37805-RL0-F030 firmware using this method.

 

NOTE:

• HDS software does not update itself – it is only a tool for working with the database.
• Better backup ECU data with Ktag before update your ECU.
• Ensure Car Battery is fully charged and you have a battery charger connected for precautions.
• Do at YOUR OWN RISK.

 

The user obtained a collection of the maps from a Russian forum hondahybrid.ru, so thanks go to that site. My particular map I couldn’t find from the normal ECURewrite distributions but this website had them.

This is a merged collection database (2003-2019) of ECU updates for ECU Rewrite Europe / U.S.

ECURewrite – Updating Maps using Honda HIM v1.1.rar

RWD Firmware Ultrapack.rar

Ultra pack combines all RWD files if you are still missing any, seems to include older revisions too.

The instructions are mainly for Europe, we would think with the U.S maps, you would extract the rwd files and replace the ones in the Europe folder and the steps being similar.

Procedure:

Step 1 – Confirm what family your current ECU Program ID is to see if it has any updates available.

Ensure Honda HDS is currently installed and working (Other guides out there for this). I was using Honda HDS 3.016.033.

Open Honda HDS.
Connect HIM device to car with ignition on II.
Within HDS, go to Honda Systems- Diesel / Petrol- Data List

It should now say the ECU Program ID – example 37805-RL0-F030

Extract ECURewrite archive.
Copy COMDLG32.OCX to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (Windows 64-bit) or C:\Windows\System32 (Windows 32-bit).
Within the extracted folder, find ECU.mdb and make a copy of it to view. This is just so we don’t alter the original file.

Open the copied ECU.mdb with Access.
OK through any missing file errors if prompted.

Click File – Options

Click Current Database
Tick Display Navigation Pane

Click Navigation Options
Tick Show Hidden Objects
Click OK

Close and reopen ECU.mdb.
OK through any errors.

On the left pane click Models
My original map was 37805-RL0-F010
From this database I can see there is an update revision 37805-RL0-F030 , under this is my original 37805-RL0-F010 which is listed as a CompatibleID.
I’ll check then to see if any of the later revisions are in the ECURewrite files list. Look for it in the ECURewrite directory with File Explorer. Example 37805-RL0-F030.rwd

ECURewrite installation is currently default for Europe version.
I’ve not tested other regions, but you would need to replace HIM.ini with the contents of the other ini files GE / JP / LA.
For regions other than Europe, I presume also copy the RWD files from the J2534Rewrite_USA.7z. into this folder before running Setup.exe.

Install ECURewrite 6.27.
Check in C:\HJEGRWAP\CalibFiles\
You should have a filename for the update listed earlier, example 37805-RL0-F030.rwd

Run CM Update (ECU Rewrite)

Ensure Laptop is connected via mains and it doesn’t go to sleep. It can take around 20mins to update.
Disable any Laptop sleep and hibernation settings in Control Panel > Power Management for stability.

Click Pass-thru Mode

Select PGM-FI
Click Green tick

An update should be found if available.
Follow through the prompts to update.

I believe it updates two modules, between these updates the screen may seem like it hangs on a white page, continue waiting for 10min and it will eventually complete.

Done.

Honda HDS HIM IMMO Ask for Password Solution

 Problem:

I am trying to program an immobilizer key for Honda Accord 2003 (North America) using my “HDS HIM Diagnostic Tool for Honda V3.103.066 with Double Board“. I am getting a screen telling me to enter a password and say function is locked. See attached photo. Before I purchased this item I asked if I could program immobilizer keys without passwords and I was told passwords were not required. What is the passwords to this program for immobilizer keys?

Solution:

Honda HDS clone does do immobilizer key programming without a password.

Don’t choose the area as ‘North America’. Select ‘Other’ region instead. It will not ask for a password.

How to Install Honda HDS Cable on Windows 10 64bit?

 Many people asking how to set up Honda HDS software for Xhorse HDS cable on Windows 10. Here’s the instruction shared by one of our customers.

To connect and work, you need to install the Honda HDS program.
It’s simple, if you have an earlier version of Windows, you will have to tinker a little for Win10.

 

The procedure here is for version 3.101.019. Didn’t test other versions. You are at your risk.

3.101.019 can be downloaded here for free.

 

1. Extract the archive.
2. Go to the extracted folder “Honda HDS 3.101.019 \ HDS PC”, run “Setup.exe”

Important! Disable Anti-Virus before installation or add it to the exclusions.
Select the Europe region. The dealer code is 208342, in my opinion you can do anything.
3. Select software language
4. We are waiting for the end of the installation. Do not start HDS afterwards.
5. Next, look in the extracted folder “Honda HDS 3.101.019 “, run the patch “HIMGNA.exe”
6. In the folder “Honda HDS 3.101.019 “, extract the contents of XHorse.zip Extract to the root of the C drive! Add Anti-virus
7. Next, connect the HDS cable. Do not update in any case. 
A new device “M-VCI” appears.
Install the drivers manually from the XHorse folder. Important! Disconnect the Internet because Win10 will automatically find and install the drivers. They won’t work! If Win10 automatically installed drivers from the network, then remove the installed devices (USB Serial converter and USB Serial Port) and remove their drivers. Then connect the cable, it will appear in M-VCI with a yellow question mark, on which we manually install the driver from the C: / XHorse location. Do the same with USB Serial converter and USB Serial Port.
8.Next, go back to “Honda HDS 3.101.019 ” and run the registry file “Xhorse64.reg”.
9. Through the Add-Remove Programs we demolish the drivers of dealer scanners SPX MVCI 3.01.37. (Optional)
10. Launch HDS and select XHorse – MVCI in the communication interface
11. We are happy )
The program pleased me with its capabilities, it works slowly, of course, but this is not a big problem, it works.
Hope it helps.

Honda HDS and SAS Reset 

Both HDS original and HDS HIM clone double-board can do this job.

When removing and installing a cable reel, you need to keep both the cable reel and the steering angle sensor in
position. If you don’t , the VSA indicator may come on along with one or more VSA DTCs. And when you run the
Neutral Memorization Procedure in the i-HDS, it won’t complete.

By the way, this procedure is covered as VSA Sensor Neutral Position Memorization in the service information.
To keep those parts properly positioned, here’s a tip: First, make sure the front wheels are pointed straight ahead with
the steering wheel in the straight-ahead position. Then, before removing the cable reel, tape both the cable reel and
steering angle sensor together. This not only keeps the parts properly positioned, but keeps the sensor from accidently
moving.

When you turn the steering wheel to
the right (or the sensor clockwise), the reading increases or moves in a positive direction. When you turn it to the left
(or the sensor counterclockwise), the reading decreases or moves in a negative direction

To manually position the steering angle sensor, you first need to determine its current position with the i-HDS. How you
do that depends on how far along you are with your repair.
For instance, if you’ve completely assembled the steering column, you’ll need to go to the ABS/TCS/VSA Data List and
check the STEERING ANGLE (CAN) value. If you haven’t yet installed the steering angle sensor, you’ll need to at least
hook up the sensor, the cable reel, and either the airbag assembly or the applicable simulator tool, then read the sensor
value in the data list.

In this example, the STEERING ANGLE (CAN) value is reading a positive 180°, which tells you the steering angle
sensor is 180° out of position clockwise. To fix this, you’ll need to remove the sensor from the cable reel and turn the
two tabs 180° counterclockwise to bring the sensor back to center or 0°.

When you’re done, you’ll then need to install all of the removed components and repeat the Neutral Memorization
Procedure. If you’ve done the sensor adjustment right , the procedure should complete and you can then move on with
your repair.
