P38 EKA Code

This site contains affiliate links for which LandyZone may be compensated if you make a purchase.
You're in trouble unless a dealer near you can extract it from their database.
You can remove the becm & send it to us here in the UK.

There's nothing else to suggest other than that.
 
If the BECM is unlocked you can see it. If it is locked you can't. You need to contact a dealer with the VIN number. Need for it can be disabled with Nanocom. You could try generic 1515 you may get lucky, but don't hold your breath.
 
Thank you for your reply.

You cannot unlock BECM with Nanocom, but you can disable immobiliser and need for EKA code.

Yes. But i cannot disable the code because dash has written KEY CODE LOCKOUT

You can with Nanocom. You go into BECM diagnostic mode with ignition turned off and disable EKA code. Then write new setting to BECM. Key code lockout means you have tried to enter wrong EKA code three times. You will have to wait for it to clear, usually about half an hour. To stop this appearing, after two unsuccessful attempts, open and close drivers door for two more attempts. Keycode lock out will not appear.

No you don't. If you have Nanocom connect and switch it on with ignition OFF go to BECM menu. You will get a message on dash "Diagnostic mode" go into alarm settings and disable EKA code. Then write new setting to BECM. When ignition is switched on you can start the car there will be no messages on the dash.
 
How many of the nanocom owners have been successful in entering the EKA code through the Nanocom when the EKA code wouldn't work through the door method?
Is there any data on this?
There's two types of keycode lockout. A part lockout can be deactivated throught the door or diagnostics. A full lockout cannot be acheived through diagnostics or the EKA applied through the door handle.
This can lead to frustrations as you have the code, applying it correctly through either method, & still nothing. This usually occurs when the settings suddenly change to French, mileage say's 999,000, RHD changes into LHD etc. & part of all of the EKA code inside the becm's data alters to "out of limits"
At least with a Nanocom you can see it's gone into a full lockdown.
Try & get the eks code. Once tried & it fails, check the drivers door lock mechanism incase of damaged loom, (snapped black wire), & give Moss a shout.
I don't know how he does it, but he has tricks that from an engineers point of view just cannot work, but they do.

Where is Moss?
 
I've used Nanocom to sucessfully enter the EKA code before, but it will only do it if it's in a standard EKA lockout, rather than the full alarm lockout.

I've used it a few times where owners have the EKA code, but the door latch has a faulty microswitch for example - gets it back moving at least, until the latch is changed....

I didn't think you could turn the EKA or immobiliser etc off in the BECM, even in diagnostcis mode if it was already in a lockout state and expecting the EKA - I'm sure I've had people who have tried it, and even if you tell it to write the settings, and Nanocom might say that it's written, it actually hasn't. I'm sure the EKA needs to be input and the vehicle back in a disarmed state before it will allow those settings to be written.
 
Mine was in lockout and accepted the eka from nanocom. My switches don't work properly because I couldn't get it to work from the key and locked it out. I've now turned off the immobiliser.

I seriously doubt Mozz will be able to help any more than i can. Nanocom will enter the EKA code but only if the BECM is Pam 36 or better If the BECM goes into an alarmed state as you describe above, then it can sometimes be recovered if the EKA is input and accepted, otherwise it would need an MSV2 with special software to unlock it then change the settings that cannot be accessed whilst it is locked. There is a difference between locked/unlocked and an full ALARMED state that talks to you in Froggy. I agree that the drivers door lock can stop input even of the correct EKA code if the micro switches or wiring is faulty. But in this event it is possible with Nanocom to go into the BECM and disable both the immobiliser and the need for the EKA code to keep the car usable until the door lock is sorted out.
