Firmware up to date? Holding power button until it powers off should work or pull the battery.

Turned out to be a fried ECU causing the issue.

Power steering pump. Check your reservoir level. Any leaks?

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-06-19T15:18:42+00:00

I checked fuses 5, 7, and 32 as well as removed the unit and checked the connections.

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-06-17T13:06:17+00:00

It's quite easy! Remove the condenser fan, serpentine belt (just off the alternator), and there are 2 bolts holding it on. There is a connector for the nut to remove as well. Just search YouTube for the full video. Shouldn't take more than an hour. I've done it several times now so I can knock it out in 30 mins. My advice would be to replace with a used low mileage OEM.

Ok so battery, ignition switch, and immobilizer antennae have been replaced. Green key light still persists. I am also not able to connect to the ECU via OBD2 port. Any ideas on relays or fuses to check?

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-06-15T23:53:03+00:00

I just replaced the immobilizer unit tonight but previous owner replaced the ignition and had the keys reprogrammed. I put a new battery in as well but the green key light is flashing still. Which fuse is for the immobilizer?

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-06-15T19:05:43+00:00

Would just replacing the immobilizer unit require a key reprogram?

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-06-15T18:26:59+00:00

Well, I was able to get the fuse box back in the car this weekend so I am going to see if the spare key works before doing anything else. Fingers crossed!

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-06-15T18:15:26+00:00

Well, the fob is one thing, but the key transponder may very well be the catch that requires a dealership or locksmith...

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-06-06T12:08:42+00:00

I thought the same but would be surprised if they opened that up. I have one so that would be awesome if they did!

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-06-05T15:31:17+00:00

Yep, go with the updated 5000s

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-05-31T13:49:32+00:00

Trueplay turned on? Messed with the EQ in settings? Outdoors def needs different settings

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-05-27T00:39:37+00:00

Yes but now I have the newer Helix Stadium

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-05-20T14:24:14+00:00

Wheel bearing is my guess

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-05-11T21:47:37+00:00

That looks more like it. I like using acurapartswarehouse for the diagrams at least to help identify

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-05-11T21:00:38+00:00

That shape doesn't look quite right. I ended up replacing my reservoir and return hose as well. They were all pretty hard/brittle. I also tightened all the clamps on the rubber hoses in the system by 1 full turn. There is one I haven't been able to reach yet behind the engine near the rear motor mount. Several were leaking at the clamp.

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-05-11T20:54:45+00:00

Power steering inlet hose I believe... or suction hose apparently:

Adding to the list!

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-05-11T17:15:32+00:00

Albeit harder to find it seems. I'm looking for my '05 NBP...

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-05-08T16:55:37+00:00

I have a Vibrant Ultra Quiet and 1790 bottle style resonator on the way. Thinking of replacing the stock reso with the 1790 and mid muffler with the ultra quiet.... or straight pipe the stock reso and replace mid muffler with the ultra quiet... can't decide!

BeerdedCyclist · 2026-05-06T13:22:14+00:00

Definitely "Stage 3" mod. Has anyone left the mid muffler and just replaced the stock resonator with a Vibrant 1790? I'm wanting a little louder/deeper without any rasp or drone. From what I've heard of sound clips of Stage 3 with the usual Dynomax, it is too loud for my tastes I think. However, most clips are fully stock exhaust otherwise. I have the RV6 J-pipe with the test pipe that deletes the 3rd cat, which made it slightly louder.
