I got ecu with this number on it 00456939-A18F12EQ2 how do i find out what car it come off

 

:

 

I got spare ecu i want to find out what model/year it come out offthat number was on the ecu sorry i didnt make it clear

 

Try again.

 

Go to www.jimwolftechnology.com, they have a spreadsheet which should help you. Maybe or maybe not b/c they don't make ECU products for 97+

 

ok last try need to know what model year car the spare ecu come out off i have a 5spd 1998 se to get ecu upgrade i need a 96 se 5spd ecu to put in my car bought spare ecu wanna know if it is a 96 se 5spd ecu took the vin number thing off the spare ecu now the big question how can i check that ecu number thank

 

haha
I'll help him. I think he means to say: "Hey, I got this spare ECU that's numbered ##########. How do I check the trim level of the Maxima from which this ECU came from using this number? I need to know because I want to modify an ECU for my 98 5spd and I hope that the spare ecu is from a 96 SE 5spd"

 

see that was soooooooooooooooooooooo hard to understand

 

would be any harder to go by my advice as a start. . .

You fail too.

 

It's beyond the 96 year ECU, so JWT won't have a part # listed as they only do up to. . .-->96 ECU.

 

I did check the site and its not listed so i called jwt and they dont know. the person that sold this too me claims its from 96 5spd i wanted to check before i send it in to jwt i dont want to have cel light when i get it back thanx to those who tried to help me.

 

You will get a CEL if its from a 95-96 if you put it in your 98 regardless.

 

Yeah no matter what you'll get a 0707 rear o2 code, because the 95-96's have a different sensor in the back than the 97+'s.

 

The speak english was in reference to poor sentence structure and misuse of a few words. If english is your 2nd language then I can understand but if not...

 

That Jim wolf page is inaccurate IMO. I went through this whole ECU part # thing a couple times.

For one, the A18 # is the manufacturer PN and cannot be traced back by nissan. Nissan uses a totall different #. There are two ways you can can be fairly certain of wether this ECU is from a 95 or 96 5spd. One would be to ask what model # the 95/96 5spd owners on the org have, but that would requre them to, at the very least get in their car and look by the diagnostic screw. The other way would be to go to www.car-parts.com and look at all the 4th gen ECU part #'s that are listed. A good majority of the ECU on their have the A18 # listed. If you find the model # you have listed for several different 98 auto's, or 97 5spd's then you know you don't have the right ECU. If you find your PN listed for several 95/96 5spd's then you know it is probably right.

 

I matched mine on www.car-part.com with the JWT.

 

Jim wolf can also tell you if your ECU is the correct year or not. I sent then an ECU that someone told me was a 96 5spd and they called me up a couple days later and said that the ECU was a 98 auto.
