Do you know if the ECM part number was the same between the two? If not, the pinouts and/or signals may be different. What were your symptoms? What was your reason for pulling the original ECM? -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Unless you hae some way to duplicate every sensor and measure every output signal, you can't test these babies in the field. Other then the already mentioned flooding, the only other thing that can harm them is a nearby lightning strike or a very close high power (in excess of 500Watts). These guys are very well protected!

THank you for your concerns my ecu problems the prior ecu was a
wrecking yard replacement from previous owner,don't know what caused damage,I did verify that part numbers were a match, I contacted Honda and they let me know that Immobilizer unit needed to be reprogramed due to new ECU not reconizing the system or key's electronic signal, cost $100 @ dealership service center well worth it no problems so far thank you again for your intrest in my question. So if anyone else ask's maybe my experince with this can be passed on. |
