I have only heard that you cannot convert and ODBII ECU to manual.

If you have a manual trans, pick up a manual ECU.
If you have an auto and are simply trying to get rid of the CEL, why not find the problem.

OBD2 ECUs can not be converted from auto to manual like OBD1 ECUs can.

Honda ECUs have no clue what the VIN is. (pre2002 for sure, not sure about later versions)

In VA, No CELs = pass.
Get a manual ECU and drive on it for a few days to clear the readiness flags, then take the test.

If ur afraid there going to check the numbers on the ecu keep the orig. ecu and get a manual ecu and just switch out the boards. Its a lil bit of a pain in the as but its poss. my friend did in up in Redding,CA. to pass the B.A.R.
