Does anyone know where ECM/ECU is located for 2001 I30? Is this location differ from the one for 2001 Maxima? I removed glove box and I cannot locate it. Any and all input would be appreciated.

It's actually behind the center console, accessed through the righthand driver kickpanel.

I opened up the center console and found 2 boxes. One is black, smaller box with "AT" mark and the other is gray metal box below the black one. They are stacked, black one on top and the grey one on the bottom. I found the third one under the dashboard very close to center console. This one is attached perpendicularly, has plastic cover, and has marking "285954Y900". The metal one, from behind the audio & ac unit, has marking "C2 31036 5Y000"

I want to know which one is the 'main' computer module? I am guessing the black one is for transmission because it has "AT" on it.

Also, how do I attach/insert photos in this post? I took some pictures but I don't know how to insert in this post.

Thanks for the links..

Looks like what I discovered were not the ECM I was looking for. They were
Smart Entrance Control Unit (Vertically attached plactic casing),
ASCD Control Unit (small, black casing behind audio/ac pack)
TCM - transmission Control Module (grey metal casing below ASCD)

Thanks again for the info.
