I have a 2013 Honda Accord 9000 km, which was in an accident mainly the front drivers side was damaged, its a "button start" and it will not start, no noise when trying to start, it has a fully charged battery. I checked all wiring, which looks good, checked key remote security, detecting key remote light, lock and unlock, which also all works fine. Then I open the ECU, I can't see one IC or resistor, I'm not sure which IC or Resistor it is here because I can't see IC or resistor number, I would appretiate if you can have a look at the picture I will post to see if anyone knows what this is ????

 

I am no expert and I'm not sure why you suspect the ECU but in the past I've had salvage yards who would let me swap an ecu to see if it fixed my car.. and then bring it back if it didn't. They just took the numbers down from theirs to be sure I brought theirs back.

 

What was the extent of the damage? Air bags come on/out.

Also know that starting in 98, the pcm and the key have to be programed to if you will "know each other".

 

Your images with that area you’re referring to is kind of small and not clearly focused around that area of the circuit board. From your pictures, I can’t even tell if there was any SMD (surface mount device) component there before or if those are just solder joints for a component on the opposite site of the board.

1. Is the indicator light on the START/STOP button when you try to start the car?
2. Is there an error message displaying in the multi-information display?
3. Is the Immobilzer system indicator blinking?
4. What led you to believe it may be an issue with the PCM?
5. Are you located somewhere around Saudi Arabia or so? Is the driver’s side on the left or right side where you are located? On U.S. models, the PCM is on the right side of the engine compartment for 6 cylinders; and on the left side for the 4 cylinders. Did the front end damage on the front driver’s side reach the PCM area?
6. Can you scan your car to check for any diagnostic trouble codes?

Your model Accord may be slightly different than our U.S. Accords.

 

Yes the indicator lights on when I start/stop button, and when I press the start buttom the key remote detecting light is going off. There is not any error message displaying in the information display. No not any blinking immobilzer system indicator when I turn off the switch then blinking. I seen that solder and small board wiring and it looks like there is something there, and when it was damaged the battery blasted, and I seen the battery acid over the wiring and on the PCM, I checked all the wiring fuse and everything is good.
I also scanned my car and its showing me one code ( p16f6), I have never seen this code before, and this is my work, it was my left front driver side which got the damage and this is also where my PCM and battery is located. yes Im in Saudia Arabia Thanks

 

Is this a 4 or 6 cylinder? Also, was is the trim/model level of your Accord?

4 cylinder with CVT?

 

yes It is 4 cylinder with CVT and trim/model level

 

Well, if you ever need to get parts from the states- let me know. I use to export whole vehicles straight to dammam port, so I can possibly handle any of your needs. Vehicle or otherwise.

 

I had to search the internet for that code. It looks like a generic code.

DTC P16F6: Control Module Range State Command

The diagnostic code is related to the powertrain control module (PCM) microprocessor integrity conditions. The PCM monitors its ability to read and write to the memory. The PCM processor monitors the data to verify that the commanded range state calculation is correct.

Condition for setting DTC:
The PCM has detected the commanded transmission range state is not correct based upon internal calculations or by a comparison to input or output torque conditions.

The PCM may very well be damaged from the battery exploding. The attached pic. shows the location of the PCM for the 4 cylinder. Although, that code looks to be a problem with the PCM, check the 10P connector going to the transmission range switch as well as other wiring connectors going to the transmission, which are on the same engine main harness connected to the PCM and nearby.

Your PCM Honda part number in the picture from your first post looks to be a different part number than for U.S. models. So, trying to import a PCM for the U.S. models has a risk of it not being fully compatible.

 

Inside the under-hood fuse/relay box, there is a Starter Cut Relay 1 and a Starter Cut Relay 2; both of which are part of the relay circuit board. The wire harness from the PCM are connected to those starter cut relays.

Check that the number A12-10 (30A) fuse is not blown, as it protects the starter cut relays.
