To my knowledge you need a different ECU, but ill check on the wiring once to see if theres something you can jump but i dont think so

Edit: i did a quick check and i belive you need an ecu for a manual trans

you can modify the ecu itself to fix the cel. I believe that you have to remove a resister and solider in a jumper. If u search along those lines you'll find a few posts and btw the fix is simple its not more than mabe a 5min job.

if it's a non vtec engine then just get a manual PO6 ECU. They're pretty cheap since (almost) nobody uses them and if you have a VTEC engine then buy a manual P28... But even then the CEL shouldn't harm the way your car runs...
