Replace your failed engine computer with an OEM 1996-1997 Honda Civic 1.6L ECM (also called a PCM or ECU), programmed to your vehicle before it ships.

This module is a direct replacement for units carrying part number 37820-P2P-A03. Every unit is refurbished, bench-tested against OEM specification, and flashed with the latest manufacturer software.

You do not need to send us your module first

Several suppliers of Honda engine computers can only supply these as a data transfer service. You buy the replacement, post them your original unit, wait while they copy your VIN and immobiliser data across, then wait again for it to come back. Your car sits undrivable the whole time. We do not work that way – we programme the module before it leaves us.

Check emissions and transmission type

Honda modules differ between Federal and California emissions vehicles, and between automatic and manual transmissions. Read the part number from the label on your existing module, or give us your VIN and we will identify the correct unit.

A note on these earlier Hondas

Engine computers of this era are known for failing capacitors, which leak and corrode the circuit board underneath. That produces intermittent stalling, a no start, or codes that make no sense together. Every unit we supply has been inspected and repaired before it is programmed and tested.

No core charge, and no core to send back

There is no core charge on this module, no deposit and nothing to return. Keep your old unit, and your lifetime warranty starts the day it ships.
