Brought Range Rover P38 back to life from a BECM that was in alarm mode
My P38 got into alarm mode after the drivers door latch/actuator went bad and when I unlocked the door all the other doors did not unlock. This means the electric signal did not reach the BECM and the computer thought a thief was trying to start the car. The BECM computer put the in "Engine Disabled" mode. Because I had no Key FOB I could not reset the computer.
I sent the computer to BECMdoctor and Scotty changed the mode from alarm to normal.
I installed a new door latch/actuator before I installed the BECM computer and now the Range Rover works normal.
An additional benefit of sending the BECM to the BECMdoctor is that he enabled the EKA function. This enables someone with no Key FOB to reset the computer to normal mode if it goes into alarm mode. This is done by using a key in the drivers door handle and inputing the code with a series of left to right turns. This feature was not enabled for Range Rovers sold in the USA.
Here are the steps I used to do the repair.
Unhook battery negative lead
Remove seat
Remove BECM
Remove Inside door panel
Remove outside door lock
Remove door latch/actuator
Install new door latch/Actuator
Reinstall outside door lock
Reinstall inside door panel
Reinstall BECM
Reinstall Seat
Hook up negative lead to battery
Start Rover and enjoy
Yes this video is not very good. And it did not shoot a lot of footage. But hopefully someone may be helped by my experience and what I had to learn to get my Rover back on the road.
Update February 25, 2019:
BeCM doctor is no longer in business. If this happens to your P38 you will need to find another source to unlock your BeCM.
