Week2 Narrative
Time to continue to work on the ECU project from project 1. This is the beginning of Project 2 ECU.


 * So far we have learned that the ECU has three different plugs with different colors. Each of the three plugs have wires that attached to components around the car. We also know that to be able to read the ECU, we have to attached the OBD II connecter to the wires comming out of the ECU to establish a good connection. It turns out that the power that was supplied to the ECU is very strong and could not be tolerated by the traditional electric box in CL158. Mr. Forester has provided this team with a heavy duty electric box. First step is to establish a cable.


 * The code reader continuesly read fault error codes. With the help of the CAN BUS Shield and the Arduino UNO, we will try to establish a reading with the ignition in the ON position.


 * Now going to play with the Arduino and CAN BUS shield and ALSO fix the capacicter.

Week4 Narrative
Carjackers Hack a Toyota Prius
 * Removed the bad capacitor.
 * Researched more about can bus and found hacking videos on cars found here

Documentation of the Prius Hack

DARPA Hackers Take Control of a Prius


 * Also searched about can-bus and how they work, the guys in the video actually flooded the can bus, instead of hacking the ECU itself. This is a thoughtful idea.


 * Currently working on a presentation with my teamate about this ECU project.

Here is a quick diagram of the set up thus far:


 * Credits to teammate for this diagram.


 * Next its time to present the project and finish what we have for the next group to continue.
