OBD not ready and Fails the inspection

[bartmanS4]

It is from my 99 VX was working fine when I swapped it out. I think they usually go for around $100. How about $50 including shipping?

Hi and Thanks Scott
Still need some answer before buy your ECU...I need play safe before I discount the battery and I don't want take another readiness test again (this is my six test for my VX) and I don't want drive another 1600 miles....

1.When you swapped out the Trooper ECU by yourself or by Auto shop to your VX and did u re-program the ECU?

2.Did your state have the readiness test for your car? (Some state don't have the test ...even the owner doesn't know the ECU are not working)

3.Or any one had knowledge about the ECU in VX or need to re-programming (I can't find and answer in the web most the website who sell the ECU and say need to re-programming????)

Thank You

1. I did the work myself. I just plugged it in and everything was happy. This was in conjunction with my 5 spd swap since the manual and automatic ECU's are different.

2. I don't think there is any readiness testing. I found this on the website:

3. I don't see why they would need to be reprogrammed. The equipment is the same. The one thing I have found as an issue though is my fuel gauge doesn't read correctly. It stays at full for a long time and is empty around the quarter full mark. I think I will need to take it to a honda dealer to fix this.

4. Your welcome

I don't get how your ECU is 'Not Ready'. What happens when you plug in a code reader? Do you have CEL on? Do all the warning lights light up when you start the car? Mine had some residual codes that I reset with the code reader and then was good to go.
I can send you the ECU and if it works you can buy it, if not just send it back and pay me back for the shipping.
