Default ECU Compatibility

Hi,

I have a P1382 on my 1998 Honda Accord 4dr LX, 2.3 l, 4cyl, 5spd, so I ran the diagnostic test in the 1998-2002 service manual. It said that I should replace my ECU, so I ran a search on www.car-part.com.

My question is: Does it matter if I buy a part for an EX, or a 1999 if the ECU part numbers match up?

Thanks

You will want to use a PCM that was for your drivetrain. There will be slight differences in programming between AT an MT cars as well as the differences between A1, A4 and A5 engines.

Thanks Mad_Mike, I ordered the ECU w/the matching part number from the same year and trim.
