I took the passenger side kick panel off to gain access in running a power cable through the bulkhead. Now I noticed something that I haven't noticed before, the little silver box next to the ECU wasn't connected to th plug that's dangling below it.

 

Can anyone tell me what this is and why it may have been disconnected?

 

Thanks

 

is that the 99 spec plug :x: sorry Si i could'nt resist, someone will be along shortly with the right answer :D

that looks like the gearbox ecu mate

I thought only autos had ECUs?

yours might of been an auto to begin with Si, ive had a j-spec man which was converted 2 years into its life

Oh right. Another thing I an bin then.

...suprised Gio didn't pick up on that when we first went to view the car as we had a lot of the panelwork out to check for manufacture dates/spec levels etc.

try a vin number check and see what it was made as..

How do I do a VIN check?

Its the BS intensity regulator.

 

Mine hasnt got one which is why I speak a load of BS at times. Its a common feature in Japanese cars and a lot of them have been removed or disconnected. :D

The Autobox ECU is not in that pic, and it has a Blue connector similar to the Main ECU connector.

They regulate the amount of Bull Shite you talk about your cars performance and spec. :rofl:

Does anyone know what it is?

Cruise control ECU (ASCD)?

dont bin it, find out what it is and sell it

Had a look in the manual.

 

Attached a copy of the compartment electrics location.

Thanks for that, but for some reason, I can't get it to download.

Thanks Jaz. So it is an auto-transmission ECU judging by that photo. Can anyone confirm?

its not that i dont think does it have a blue connector

Nope, see the little black connector beneath it? That's the only thing I can see that would marry up with it and it's routed as such.

I can confirm its NOT the auto-transmission ECU ! The Auto ECU would sit over the top of that box. The 2 screw holes on the left and the 1 at the bottom is for the autobox ecu bracket.
