Default How to Identify your ECU

Hey guys, I wanted to get a thread going on how to indentify what ECU you have so that I can make a link in the FAQ thread. (and for the noobs who ask )

So far this is all the info I got. If you have some more you can add, please do so. Thanks

ECU Part Numbers

All Honda ECUs have a part number which is located on the side of the ECU and inside the ECU on the connector. e.g. 37820-P72-A01

The part number consists of three components:

Honda's part number for ECU, which is always 37820
Three characters (which are loosely related to the model of car/engine). e.g P72
Three characters (which are the revision of the ECU) e.g. A01
The middle three characters are the most useful to identify what the ECU is. Different generation ECUs may use the same characters. e.g. a P72 OBD I ECU is different from a P72 OBD II ECU. Here is a list of common ECUs:

PG6: 88-89 Integra (all makes)
PM5: 88-91 Civic/CRX DX
PM6: 88-91 Civic/CRX SOHC Si
PM7: 89-91 DOHC ZC (JDM 'EF' ECU)
PM8: 88-91 CRX HF
PR2: 89-91 ZC (Euro)
PR3: 89-91 JDM B16A EF8/9
PR3-J00 or J51: 92 JDM Integra B16A EF8/9
PW0: 89-91 JDM B16A EF8/9 DA6-XSi
PR4: 90-91 Integra LS/GS
PS9: 88-91 4 door Civic EX Auto
P05: 92-95 OBD-1 Civic CX
P06: 92-95 OBD-1 Civic DX
P07: 92-95 OBD-1 Civic VX
P08: 92-95 OBD-1 Civic D15 JDM
P0A: 94-95 OBD-1 Accord EX
P13: 93-95 OBD-1 Prelude Vtec
P14: 93-95 OBD-1 Prelude Si (non Vtec)
P27: 92-95 OBD-1 EG JDM Civic 1600 sohc
P28: 92-95 OBD-1 Civic Si/Ex
P30: 92-95 OBD-1 DelSol DOHC Vtec Si/EG SiR
P54-G31: 1997 Honda Accord 1.8 LS
P61: 92-93 OBD-1 Integra GSR
P72: 94-95 OBD-1 Integra GSR
P72: 96-00 OBD-2 Integra GSR
P73: 96-00 OBD-2 Integra Type-R (JDM & USDM)
P74/75: 92-95 OBD-1 Integra LS/GS
P75: 96-00 OBD-2 Integra LS/GS
P2N: 96+ OBD-2 Civic HX Coupe
P2P: 96+ OBD-2 Civic EX Coupe
P2E: 96+ OBD-2 Civic DX Coupe
P2M: 96+ OBD-2 NZ Civic SOHC VTEC
P2T: 99+ OBD-? Civic Si Coupe
P5P: 97-00 OBD-2 Prelude Type-S (JDM ECU)
PBA: 97+ US Acura 1.6EL
PCT: 98+ JDM ITR / CTR
PCX: 99+ OBD-? S2000

PICS OF WHAT ECU IT IS....



From top to bottom...

1. OBD IIb ECU
2. OBD II ECU
3. OBD I ECU
4. OBD 0 (JDM PR3 and PWO)

Oh and correct me if I'm wrong somewhere.

Default Re: (jdmsiR20)

add to that my old PGMFI post. a quick pic in ID'ing a 5spd to auto ECU




in 88-91 ecus (PM6, PR4, PW0, PR3, PM7):
5spd = 000, 001, 002, A00, A01, A10, J00, J001, C01, C00
Auto = J51, J50, A50, A51, 901, A60, C50, C51, X30, A80, L50, L51

92-5 ECUs (P28, P30, P61, P72, P91, P08)
5spd = 000, 001, 002, 003, A00, A01, A02, C00, C01, C02, J00, J01, J02, G00, G01
Auto = J50, J51, 901, 902, C50, C51, C52, A50, A51, A52, L50, L51, G51

96-00 ECUs (P2E, P2P, P2J, P72)
5spd = 000, 001, 002, 003, A00, A01, A03, C00, C01, C02, C03, J00, J01, J02, A11, C11
Auto = A70, A71, A72, A91, A92, C70, C71, C72, C91, C92

from the patterns we can learn the following:
first letter = country of orgin
J = Japan
C= Canada
A=USA
G=Europe
second digit, if 5, 7, 9 then ecu is auto usually
third digit denotes the version/variation

It sounds like the original information is what your looking for...I would assume that the third 0 in your code means it's the first version of that ECU.
