The subject says it - if I swap in an old (<'96) wrx jdm engine into my car, can I wire up the CEL properly or is it a lost cause? TIA.

View Full Version : Will CEL work after jdm swap?

TIA. supermoose 08-30-2005, 02:46 PM if you wire things properly and use the proper ecu, i dont see why you wouldnt get a CEL if it found a problem. ive got cel's when somthing was wrong on mine. just like OEM. think this way- if do things right and OEM, then be like OEM. if do things nasty and bastardized, then not like oem. snowman4us 08-30-2005, 05:22 PM it will be hard to desifer the codes however. due to the OBD codes being different then the JDM codes. supermoose 08-31-2005, 02:32 PM jdm obd codes are the same, at least on my car.... snowman4us 09-01-2005, 02:29 AM jdm obd codes are the same, at least on my car.... no $hit....i always thought that they where diff. then ours. Well thats good to know. Thanks moose. Zora 09-01-2005, 01:59 PM thanks a lot guys. |
