Where and how to remove ECU

coaster · 09-08-2006, 11:46 AM

I have a 2006 Honda Civic SI. I tried searching but could not find any diy on how to remove the ECU. Any help is great. I want to reflash my car. Thanks.

It's along the back of the battery, in a plastic cover. about the size of a paperback book.

Its right behind the battery in a black housing. Need 10mm socket.

Who are you sending your ECU to get tuned? Is there a link to Hondata or do you have someone doing it for you?

It is easier to do if you take the 3 minutes to remove the battery. Then remove the black plastic cover. Remove the 3 10mm bolts. Release the catches on the 3 harnesses and you are done. Total time less than 5 minutes including battery removal.
