89 xt6 computer question


Recommended Posts

The ECU is under the rear parcel shelf on the pass. side

 

The connectors (black in color) are there also

 

With the light on it may be flashing the error code

without plugging them together. Simply turn the key to run

but do not start engine.

 

Here is a link to the USMB repair manual on code reading

(see page header "USMB - Repair and Mod")

what he said...pop the trunk and the computer hangs under the rear shelf. can't miss it....a box hanging with a single blinking green LED on it. the LED blinks your codes. finding out what is causing your Check Engine light only requires popping your trunk, that is it.

okay it has been forever since i started this but i was wondering how do i start taking off the panel that covers the computer i am worried about damageing the 16 year old interrior it is in perfect condition

 

On another note, do not try to remove that 'panel' or dash if that is what you are referring too. If you want to know how so that you can remove the trip computer or radio, that's for another thread. Many an audio installer or unknowing self mechanic has tried to remove the dash, only to break it or crack it severely. You have been warned. :)
