The wiring connectors are unique in size and have slots on them that will only connect to one slot.
#FRONT ECU DIAGNOSTICS LANCER OZ RALLY INSTALL#
Install the new ecu by putting it back in it position with the wiring connections facing down and reinstalling the securing bolts, tightening them until they are snug. On some replacement ecu's, the bracket has to be changed out. Now you should examine the new ecu to make sure that the model numbers match as well as making sure that everything is present on the new one as well.

AFTERMARKET PROCESSORS WILL ALLOW YOU TO ADJUST THE SETTINGS AND DO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS TO YOUR IMPROVE YOUR ENGINE PERFORMANCE BY USING A LAPTOP OR A HANDHELD PROGRAMMER. THE ONLY WAY TO REMAP AN ECU IS TO HAVE A MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP OR A FOREIGN CAR MECHANIC REMAP IT FOR YOU BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A REMAPPING PROCESS WITHOUT INSTALLING AN AFTERMARKET PROCESSOR THAT IS DESIGNED FOR YOUR MODEL LANCER.
