So I'm trying to get the code from CEL and it keeps doing this. No idea, but a friend on AIM said bad ECU. BTW excuse the ohio accent.

Video here:

For non-viewers, CEL comes on, blinks once, than stays solid. I leave the wires in the clip, try again - same thing. So the question is, whats an ECU going to cost me?

for an si auto 100-200 depending on where you get it

have you cleared the code to see if it comes back

pull the clock fuse from the under hood fuse box for 30 sec then test drive if it comes back and gives the same code i would say bad ecu

Also, just talked to someone and they're saying bad 02 sensor. Just concerned about ECU now.

Glowlude

30 seconds eh? No, actually I just pulled out - and pushed back in.

Apparently I'm the resident prelude mechanic. I dunno about that code. I thought not matter what it does before, if it goes solid, its probably a bad ecu...

slipknot95758

yeah that is why you clear and retest

He did, and did again. Same results. Odd...

slipknot95758

yeah thats really odd they only time it should be solid when it is jumped is if there is no code at all.

i would definatly put my money on a bad ecu

i used to have one but i sold it about a month ago, i do have an auto tranny controll unit ifyou end up needing one of those

also make sure you are jumping the right connector. I thought I remember getting a solid cel when I would accidentally jump the wrong connector.

I have an auto ecu too if you need one $40

I jumped the connector with 3 port holes.

sean1121

That's the wrong one. The one you're looking for is blue and has two holes.

Wow - Didnt realize that. I saw a tutorial on preludezone.com and he used the three port connector.

Well, thanks for the information. Ah, the difference between a paysite and a free site.

Thanks again guys.

Well, just did it and it blinked 6 times...according to a thread on preludezone.com, thats my Engine coolant temperature, ECT sensor. Now, only to find one.

I was about to say. If you had a bad ecu you would be able to do anything. When i watched the video it didn't seem right. Well you got the help of jumping the correct connector. Good luck with fixing the problem. Temp Cool sensor isn't that bad.
