Installing VCM Muzzler II on a 2012 Honda Pilot to disable Variable Cylinder Management. VCM causes multiple problems in certain Hondas and Verbatim at www.piloteers.org put in a lot of time and research to create and bring us this wiring harness adapter to disable VCM without causing any CEL or other issues. Product can be easily removed as well for warranty purposes before visiting a dealership. I am not a technician or mechanic and am not responsible for mistakes you make due to lack of common sense. DO NOT INSTALL ON A HOT ENGINE. I am not affiliated or being paid or compensated for speaking well of this product I am simply happy to have found a cost effective solution to the oil consumption and spark plug fouling issues this has caused. Register at www.piloteers.org and contact user Verbatim if you have questions are would like a VCM muzzler

Just installed a version with DIP switches on a 2016 Odyssey - works great, and thanks to this simple tutorial, it took me all of 1 minute to locate and install it on the correct sensor. Thanks for saving my engine down the road!

This is so good, thank you very much! What a damned disaster of a technology from a company that knows better.

Question so in winter I have to use the blue resistor and summer I will have to use the red resistor. So 80ohm for winter and summer 120ohm

Worked good so far. No more annoying shutter noise that sounds like a bad torque converter. Car feels so much better when stepping on the foot pedal. I bought a V6, so I can drive a V6!

I've heard of a S-VCM Controller, would you recommend that one as the best to install for a 2010 Honda Accord V6?

With it tricking the system, does it still accurately read engine temp? As in the temperature reading on the cluster being accurate to what the actual engine temp is?

I have a 20110 exl for 2 years now. ECO has never come not once. Would the muzzler possibly be there already? It does studder a bit after a slow down to turn as I accelerate.

I think the VCM system damage the catalytic converter, so I think this thing could help to prevent damage and enhance the engine behavior. But I am not using it yet.

Just bought this on eBay from that dude in Canada. I have a 09 Honda Accord v6. I have to constantly check the oil. I keep a quart in my car at all times. I not too long ago changed the oil. But I guess it’s a good idea to keep a bottle of oil in your car anyway. Also the little jerks when you are driving (eco mode) kicks in. So I will try this when it comes in. What color resistor should I use?
@redbuoy10 2 years ago

Only in the past few weeks have I seen so much about VCM disabling. My 2011 has 175k miles and I've noticed a bit of a lurch during ECO enabling and once, a puff of oil smoke out the back during acceleration. So, as an 'Aha' moment, I'll put this bypass once my Winter is over. One note..another tuner has the negative post on the battery as an add on which yours does not.

What did u do with the end with the blue tip? Just leave it as is? Did u tape it over with electrical tape?
@Debosway77 2 years ago

I have a P3497 code on our Odyessey and if I do this VCM muzzler will this bypass the VVT system where they Check engine light will go away without having to fix the VVT Solenoid?
@colingunnar1665 3 years ago

Probably a dumb question but this is compatible on 9th gen Accord V6 models right?
@uzochukwuvictor5102 5 years ago

I didn't observe where u fixed the blue switch?

Just bought this and it shut off the eco mode easy thanks

I know this vid is 6 years old but with those resistors, have you had to replace them?
@frankcosta1932 5 years ago

This won't affect torque converter lock up?
@ummmno3712 1 month ago

I just installed mine. Is it supposed to get rid of ECO mode light as well? Or will the light still come on while this muzzler is working?

I get an average 20 mpg so fixing this issue will not change the mpg very much thanks for the video
