This was the first advanced and now time proven tool for deactivating VCM in Honda and Acura vehicles. Unlike other products (VCMuzzler II, VCM Tuner, VCM Suppressor, Maxilink vcm disable), the S-VCM Controller does not rely on a fixed resistor or manually adjusted potentiometer to function.The S-VCM Controller is an automobile grade, high precision digital tool with automatic logic control. It is designed to reliably deactivate VCM 100% of the time, while constantly monitoring the actual coolant temperature to ensure it is safe to disable VCM.The S-VCM Controller is far superior than resistor-based tools, because it is: Smarter, Safer and Solid.
SMARTER – No need to swap or manually adjust resistors. The S-VCM Controller will always reliably disable VCM in summer and winter, regardless where you live, Florida or Alaska.The ability to deactivate VCM 100% of the time is a key performance criterion. Every time when VCM switches on/off, the vehicle makes a lot of adjustments such as the ignition timing, throttles position and turns the torque converter lock-up on and off. All these busy mechanical and electronic switching have an impact on the car, and the extra stress on the engine mount is unavoidable regardless how VCM technology improves – all of which are what a VCM deactivation device is supposed to prevent.Especially when you are driving in frequent stop-and-go traffic, VCM turns on and off more frequently than when driving freely on the highway. But the busy stop-and-go traffic is where resistor tools cannot keep up. Those tools cannot reliably disable VCM when coolant temperature approaches 205F, allowing the VCM/ECO mode to come back when your car needs it disabled most, unless they use a larger resistor. However, that will further compromise the engine temperature warning system - see more explanation in FAQ.The S-VCM Controller does a much better job, because it can keep VCM off in slow and stop-go traffic when VCM/ECO tends to be flashing on/off most frequently. Once installed, it can simply be forgotten. In fact you might completely forget your car has VCM, because there is no need to adjust resistor and you will not see the ECO light even once, unless ... see the safety feature below.SAFER – Automatically restores true coolant temperature reading to the onboard computer and on the driver dashboard without tampering with the cooling system, in case your car’s engine overheats.This unique feature of S-VCM Controller is very important for your car:
If the vehicle engine overheats, you should be able to know immediately. All other products will fool you as if the engine did not overheat, because the resistor is always plugged in there to reduce sensor reading, and the coolant temperature gauge will only show 215F even if the engine has overheated to 270F (when a 82Ω resistor is added) – see pic. 2 for more test data. A resistor product will cause your car computer to always get a false engine temperature, and that will result in it being unable to react properly when the engine overheats. Should this happen, it is dangerous and can harm your car.SUPERIOR DESIGN AND QUALITY – The design follows automobile grade industry standards. Our chips are made by Texas Instruments, and the product has been fully tested for an extreme temperature range of 240F.The compact design of S-VCM Controller also provides the benefit of very quick and easy installation. It does not need many unnecessary straps and avoids cluttering the engine bay. The package comes with a detailed yet easy-to-follow installation guide (unplug ECT1 harness, plug in S-VCM, and connect power wire).SOLID BUILD – There are no movable parts such as additional connectors or a removable/adjustable resistor that is more easily subject to damage. The S-VCM Controller is completely sealed from shock, water and corrosion. It cannot be damaged even if soaked in boiling salt water. The solid insulation is rated for temperatures as high as 300F, with extreme resistance to harsh chemicals (brine, acids, bases) and has an indefinite service life. At the same time, it is RoHSSMARTER AND SAFER TO THE BOTTOM LINE! – When a resistor tool fails while you are driving, your car\'s engine will be in trouble because the faulty resistor cannot remove itself to let the car\'s onboard computer get the correct coolant temperature. The S-VCM Controller is different – even if power is cut while vehicle is moving, the design ensures that it would quit as if the device is not installed.
