Honda VCM Tuner II Eco Delete And Info

What are the blue & green wires for that didn't show connection being made to anything? Please help! I really interested in getting this for my 2014 Honda Odyssey

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.

My ECO light doesnt come on anymore. But my CEL is on stating the engine is running below temp, cooler than it should be. Do u think the VCM muzzler has something to do with it? Already replaced my themostat and both ECT, so im thinking the muzzler is the culprit?

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?!

Can anyone say if this helps with vibration when accelerating???
Edit: I have a '12 crosstour awd

Question: With this VCMTUNER II on my Honda, will it still allow it to pass the emissions testing in my state?

Does this work for 2014 pilot ???

Hi, please i need the website you got the unit from, I’m having hard time finding it online. Thanks !

By chance do you know of anyone else selling VCM tuner? 2012 pilot VCM shows sold out!

What method does it use? I am concerned it may adversely interact with other engine control systems.

We just had our 2012 Crosstour towed to the Wilmington NC Honda for repair. Too late to be covered by the Extended Warranty that Honda issued as that was for 8 yrs or 100,000 miles. 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? Small price to pay compared to the reair bill we are now facing.

Can you tell me the website so I can order the vcm muzzler.

As an update from my post a year ago…I installed a S-VCM on my2012 Honda Accord EXL 3.5l V6. Since doing that, some 20,000 miles ago, my car doesn’t consume any oil or lost any oil. The product I bought is amazing and did the trick.

Will this work on Odyssey 2008 EX-L?

I recently installed it on my 2013 Crosstour and it’s running smoother and better than ever! I’ll update y’all after a few weeks, months or so.

On a 2021 Pilot AWD with the VCM disabled using this product, should you or can you still use the ECON mode? I see a lot of people saying the ECON mode was disabled but on my 2021 Pilot AWD the ECON mode is enabled by choice by pushing the green button. Thanks!

Did it smoke out the exhaust before the vcm tuner?

Where can I get the deleted please

I have the 2016 Acura TLX 3.5 v6.....it have this engine.....I can keep my eco mode off to avoid this issue.....the eco don't comes on automatically like this one....

Does this increase throttle response

can i use this vcm tunner on honda elysion 2004 3.0 ?

How long did it take to ship? Where do they ship from?

Why buy this and not a cheaper option ?

someone needs to come out with a custom tune to replace this, as great as it is.

I have a 2014 rdx. I now that it has cylinders turning off at highway cruising because I can feel it disengage and my mpg jumps up to around 30. I do not have any eco light though. What should I do? Don't want to buy one of these if It won't work on my application

Great video, thanks. Question,... I have a P3497 code for VPS Stuck off Bank 2. The VTM-4 comes on after about 10 minutes of driving. Some Cylinders become de-active and I have to drive in Limp Mode.. I've done everything under the sun (changed oil, changed VVT solenoid, change spark plugs etc) to try and fix this except take it to the dealer where those wolves will be ready to attack me with a bill for half a mil just for plugging in their OBD. Anyway I can erase the code myself. Do you think that if I do this VCM Eco delete method that the Check Engine will clear for good?

How’s the long term life on this vcm muzzled ? Does it affect the motor in any way ???

What happens if you just unhook the wire and leave it off ?

i am just starting to have the shutter when ECO light is on and cruising, 2015 Pilot awd, thought it was a driveline issue. 163k miles, no oil leaks or unusual usage...do you think this S-VCM will fix the shutter and not hurt the engine?? ty

Thank You, great video

Is there a video dissecting the inside this vcm 2?

So does leaving the ECO mode button off on my wife’s 2020 Odyssey make a difference with this or no?

Ill be getting that for my 2015 pilot.

Here is how I disabled my shitty VCM tech on Accord 2009 without buying any device. Relay the radiator fans to run direct all the time; this will keep the engine temperature at about 155F and trick the ECU that the optimum operating temperature is never reached which in turns, never activates the stupid VCM.


I did not notice any drop in MPG bt the car is now super responsive with more power than ever.

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.

mine is just a work van, and I really don't want it to break down!

I have a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L with an Earth Dreams V6 in it. Does this car have a VCM system?

How do you tell if the VCM system is on or off in a 2021 Ridgeline ? How do I know that the electronic unit is doing its job ?

How late is too late to install the SVCM/muzzler? My Pilot is at 94,500mi, gave me code P0303 two days ago. Changed cylinder 3 plug and coil, now it’s fine again.

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?

I went on the site you provided and I didn’t see a vcm turner for a 2009 Honda Pilot. Does it have to be for that exact year for that suv? Where can I find the 09 vcm turner for my Pilot? My eco light comes on a lot when driving and I want to take care of this before it gets to bad. Thanks

Does the temperature light a gauge still work properly

Does anyone know, when they’ll be back in stock?

Thanks for the easy install tutorial but the site doesn’t have this exact VCM tuner for sale anymore 🙁 do you know of anywhere else I can purchase this or something similar?

Does it work on any weather?

Where can I buy this?

My Odyssey had so many misfire codes and screwed up plugs we replaced the engine because our mechanic was convinced our piston rings were screwed...putting one of these on the new engine asap. This probably could've have saved me tons

Literally just posted my car for sale two days ago because my engine misfire is really bad. Been having to change the spark plugs every few months since I bought the car 5 years ago. 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.
