Default What is the code for Defective ECU?

My car dies while driving. After that I have to push start it.
I checked the battery and it was fine.

There is no "particular" code for a bad ECU. Normally if the CEL comes on with the key in the on position and STAYS on, it could be a blown fuse, bad main relay or bad ECU (when normally it's a blown fuse or bad ECU).

Please exlain more, how long does it take before it dies? Sitting at idle? Does it start again afterwords?

CEl stays on.. you mean when service connector is jumpered, correct?

Yes when diagnostic is jumpered. the ecu stays on, it does blink for me to check any codes. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Zy

Ok, so it CEL does blink correct?

Now check for the codes.

One long blink = 10
One short blink = 1

Example: two long and one short = 21
