Where is the ECM / ECU on the 1992 Honda Accord?
A week ago I purchased a 1992 Honda Accord with 206K miles. It has been running fine until this morning. Battery is good but it won't start and nothing electrical comes on. Did some on-line research and issues point to the ECM / ECU. I did an ECM reset and now when I turn the ign key on, the dash lights up, then when I turn the key to "Start" there is a click and everything goes dead again. First question is - where is the ECM? Second question is - can I test the ECM with a volt meter? Third question is - where is the best (and cheapest) place to buy an ECM, it that is the problem? Thanks - Mike
1992 Honda Accord LX won't start
When you turn the key to "ON" the instrument panel lights come on. When you turn the key to "Start" there is an audible "click" (starter relay I presume), and then everything goes dark - meaning the instrument panel, lights, horn - everything. If I disconnect the battery for a little while and reconnect it, the electrical system is functional again, until you turn the key to "Start". If I disconnect the starter solenoid, and re-set the ECM, the instrument panel does NOT go dark when I hit the starter. Any ideas? I'm 10 miles out in the woods and it will cost $65 to tow into town, so I really need to find the problem myself. I have a Chilton's manual and it shows an "ECM Main Relay" between the ignition switch and the ECM. Maybe this relay is the problem? I can't find a locator chart in either the owner's manual or the Chilton's manual.
