Default swapped ecu(p28) in vx and now cel

I swapped in a p28 ecu into my vx and now it's throwing out a cel light. Anyone know why it's throwing the cel light? Is it the o2 sensor?

VX has a 5 wire O2 sensor EX/SIs have a 4 wire.

one of the harness on the passenger shock tower is missing the white wire for the 02 sensor to go to the ecu u need to add this wire from there to the ecu and that will fix it

Checked the harnesses, didnt find any missing white wire. They are all there. Anyone got pictures or a link? Do I have to replace the o2 sensor also?

LOCATE THE 6 PIN PLUG BELOW ON THE PASS. SIDE VX SHOCK TOWER



The wires are in the following order:

ORG/BLU BLU/GRN WHT/BLK

BLU/YEL WHT/BLU YEL/WHT

REMOVE THE FOLLOWING WIRES FROM THE 6 PIN VX PLUG

ORG/BLU - O2 SENSOR

LOCATE THE 10 PIN PLUG PICTURED BELOW THAT IS ON THE VX SHOCK TOWER



The wires are in the following order:

BRN/BLK EMPTY BLK/RED

ORG WHT ORG/BLU WHT/BLU

BLU/GRN BLU/YEL EMPTY

[b]REMOVE THE RUBBER PLUG FROM THE UNUSED SOCKET

INSERT THE ORG/BLU (O2 SENSOR) WIRE INTO THE SOCKET BETWEEN THE BRN/BLK WIRE AND THE BLK/RED WIRE. (TOP CENTER SOCKET IN PIC)

Followed that guide, removed the orange/blue wire and was going to tap it into the missing slot on the 10 pin harness but even if I tapped it in there, there was no wire on the other side. Now what? I'm still using my stock vx 02 sensor, should I replace that o2 sensor also?

why are you using a p28 ECU for a vx?

i didnt see that post. if he is still using the same o2 from the vx he needs to change that. because the vx comes with 5 wires other than 4.
