ok... i'm not sure how to do it and i don't know what any of the codes are... i tried using the search function for the CA forums and the only thing i came up with is "ok, make sure the screw is all the way counter clockwise. now turn on the car start the car ! then goto Ecu turn clock wise, now it will beep in a beep beep, beep beep beep , beep beep beep beep, and so on, fasion. let it beep three times then go counter clock wise , then it will blink the codes" and that was posted by slw240sx. I'm even a little confused by that, because my car doesn't start. So do i just try to start it, then leave the key in the start position and do the ecu mode switch thingy. So if someone could clarify that for me and/or give me a link to a site with all the ECU codes, that would be GREATLY appreciated.

Turn your ignition to on and make sure all your dash lights are on. Go to your ecu and using a screwdriver, turn the little screw clockwise and watch the sequence of the red and green light. After you've seen them flash 3 times simultaneously, quickly turn the screw back counterclockwise and the codes will begin flashing via the red and green lamps. Count the # of flashes on red and then the # of flashes on green. After the green lights flash, the # flash sequence will more than likely change to show a new code. But if there's only one code, the sequence of flashes will repeat itself.

Tell us the code and we can tell you what it is. Get a FSM. They are great fun to read for hours on end!!!
