Default After socketing an ECU the car has a CEL and won't blink the CEL code.

I'm new to socketing the ECU it won't show me what the code is. I jumper the plug and the CEL light stays solid.

If the CEL is also on when the plug isn't jumped, then you're in limp mode. Your chip isn't programmed properly or your socketing job was a fail.

werd. Fail on socket job or chip in backwards. Post some pics of all you installed.

Check your ECU fuse, sometimes the ECU fuse gets blown and can cause this.
