I just put in an OBDII to OBDI conversion harness with a P28 ECU into my D16Y8. The problem is, I get a CEL number 9, cylinder position sensor. Is this normal? If it is, how do I get rid of it? Or do I have a defective ECU or harness?

 

Ok edit: The CEL was actually a number 19, my fault. Code 19: Lock-up Control Solenoid Open or short in LCS circuit, defective LCS solenoid. We took apart the ECU and it looks virgin. I put it into my friend's car and he got the CEL too. Anyone know how I can fix it?

 

Lock up control selenoid?
Im not sure what that is even...sounds like something for a tranny...

 

Hahaha, guess what? You're right. Turns out the part number on my ECU reads:

37820-p28-A52

I was told it's an automatic ECU. A "1" instead of "5" would be a manual.

 

What is the part number on your ECU? 37820-P28-XXX. I need to know the XXX part. Sounds like you have an auto ECU. Its pretty easy to change to manual though.

 

wait, so if u have an auto ecu, and u wanted a manual ecu, it would be easy to change?? please explain thanks

 

You should be able to change if you send it in somewhere, now I just gotta find a place.

 

I love being right
actually that was a stab in the dark but cool...almost like it had hair around it...

 

would it not be easier if u just got a manual one??

 

Yes but more expensive. They go for around $125, and to send it in to switch it to a manual is a lot less than that. I don't think I can find anyone who wants an auto ECU.

 

Check with B18C-EJ1 on this board. He sells P28's and does programming of them. He was quick to reply to questions from me.
