How can you tell if ECU has been replaced with Stock?

Post by jedi-dad »

This is probably a stupid question, but Honda said they ran some diagnostics with regard to the TPMS in my 2017 Civic Hatchback to see if there was a "firmware update" because it was acting wonky. I wasn't sure if that would have done anything to my ECU programming so I plugged in my FlashPro and launched FlashPro Manager. But how can I tell if the ECU Programming is still in place?

There is no easy way to tell. If they did reprogram the ECU you will have to re-upload your calibration to overwrite what they did.

Really? Nothing in the FlashPro Manager?

Anything in the ECU info? (see attached)

To be sure, just re-upload your calibration to the ECU.
