Replace ECU?? Error code 31, 95 SE
Help!
The check engine light came on. I went to vbxmaxima.8m.com and was able to get the error code: 31 on the MIL.
Code reads:Replace ECM (ECCS control module). (Chilton)
Do I need to replace the ECM? Is there a difference between the ECM and the ECCS?
Is there some other diagnostic test necessary? Do I also need an ODB2 scan?
Finally, should I replace the ECM with a rebuilt or go to a salvage yard?
Please forgive my lack of knowledge. Just a girl with a Maxima....
Thanks for your help.

Find one same year and tranny.
But first reset the ECU and see if the code comes back.

NO, 31 = 0301
You don't get PXXXX thorugh the screw method, only by useing an OBDII scanner.
She read the ECU correctly.
Sadly, I believe you will have to replace the ECU. Start looking on www.car-part.com and in the forsale section of this forum.
Like I said above, find an ECU same year and tranny.(But for you a 96ECU will work)
Or if you want to make your car faster you can buy an aftermarket ECU from JWT or Technoquare.

I have managed to reset the check engine light.
I am on my way now to check car-part.com for a replacement.
