Is there a way I can tell the difference between an auto and manual ecu just by reading the numbers on them?

anyone?

 

i dont remimber exatly but theres anumber after the code PM6-L005 it's eather L or A (emmisions?) and if it ends in5 it's a manual and 0 or even number is auto. somthing like that. i know i'm wrong but i got the idea.

 

Well there are two different ecu's I"m looking at on ebay. the numbers are..... 37820-PG7-A131..... and ..... 37820-PG7-A022 I'm looking for an Auto PG7 or a PS9

the A022 is manual - the A131 is automatic

A0## or L0## = manual
A1## or L1## = automatic

On my PM6 and P28 ecus, there are only 2 # spots after the 'L' or 'A'. What I am saying is that there it looks like this: A##; instead of A0##.

On my recently departed PM6 ecu it said: PM6 - L09. There is no number after the 9. I also remember reading that the if the two numbers behind the 'L' or 'A', if it is under 50, its from a manual, if it is above 50, its from an automatic. Meaning L09 is manual and L53 is automatic.

Also, I believe that all L0## or L## (whichever) ecus are from california sold cars and A0## or A## are from the rest 49 states.

 

i knew i was close. i needed this too when i do my MPFI swap, will i need a CA PS9?

that is not correct - the number indicating whether it is automatic or manual is the first number after the letter - 0=manual 1=automatic, for most ECUs - however, as with everything Honda does, there are exceptions - for instance: 86-87 Integra ECUs don't have a letter after PG7 - they have 66 for manual and 67 for automatic - some ECUs have 2 numbers after the A0, L0, A1 or L1 and some have only one - ECUs from cars originally sold in Calif do have the letter 'L' while everywhere else it is 'A'

Well, wrong again. Atleast I learn something evertime I'm wrong.

And damn, I was right on only one part again with the 'L's.
