-====== How to run ECMLink in a 96 DSM ======
-{{  http://www.ecmtuning.com/images/forums/v3peeks/v3previewboard.gif?direct&}}The core piece of ECMLink is a flash module plug-in that goes into place of a stock EPROM chip. To use ECMLink, your ECU needs to have an [[http://www.dsmlink.com/images/photos/inside1geprom.jpg|EPROM chip inside]] so that we can remove that chip, [[http://www.dsmlink.com/images/forums/ecudocs/withsocket.jpg|install a socket]] and then install our V3 flash module into this socket.
-Unfortunately, there were **no** 1996 DSM ECUs produced from the factory as EPROM ECUs (other than a couple rare engineering samples that slipped out). So in order to run ECMLink in a 1996 DSM, you have to either replace the ECU with an EPROM 2G ECU (1995 being the only option) or you need to have your 1996 ECU converted from non-EPROM to EPROM.
-If you already have a 1995 EPROM ECU available to you, then that's going to be the cheapest route and, really, won't be any different than running a 1996 ECU. Everything is the same between a 95 and 96 ECU.
-But if you do not already have a 1995 EPROM ECU available to you, the cheapest and easiest route is going to be having your 1996 ECU [[:nonepromprocess2g|converted from non-EPROM to EPROM]].
-===== ECU Details =====
-For the 2G DSMs, there are a few different types of ECUs that are compatible with ECMLink.
-  * 95 EPROM ECU (MD312464 or MD309947 with "E" on [[http://www.dsmlink.com/images/photos/eculabel-mid.gif|the case label]])
-  * 95 non-EPROM ECU (MD312464 or MD309947 without "E" on [[http://www.dsmlink.com/images/photos/eculabel-mid.gif|the case label]])
-  * 96 non-EPROM ECU (MD321911 or MD321912)
-  * 97 non-EPROM ECU (MD326328 or MD335287)
-We do usually have ECUs in stock too, if you can't find one yourself. We sell them directly off [[http://www.ecmtuning.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=41|our website]] with new ECMLink package purchases<font 14px line-height: 19.600000381469727px;/Arial, sans-serif;;rgb(51, 51, 51) font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.600000381469727px;;;#ffffff>made directly through us. If you plan to order your ECMLink package from a reseller, we ask that the reseller work with you to locate an appropriate ECU. They are simply too hard to keep in stock for all the resellers out there.</font>
-The following sections break each of these options down for you with regard to running each in a 1996 DSM.
-==== Using a 95 EPROM ECU ====
-You can run a 95 EPROM ECU interchangeably with a 96 DSM ECU.  No changes are necessary to anything.  If the engine was running on a 1996 ECU before, then it will run exactly the same after swapping the 96 ECU out for a 95 EPROM ECU.
-When you place your ECMLink order off our website, you will simply select "Socket EPROM ECU" as your socket/conversion option at the bottom of the page, assuming the ECU has not already been socketed for you.  [[socketid|Check to see]].
-==== Using a 95 or 96 non-EPROM ECU ====
-Running a non-EPROM 95 or 96 ECU is no problem.  You just need to select "2G non-EPROM conversion" in the socket/conversion option at the bottom of the ECMLink ordering page.  Then you'll send us your ECU, we'll do the conversion, install ECMLink and then return it back to you.
-==== Using a 97 non-EPROM ECU ====
-It would be a //little// unusual to run a 97 ECU in a 96 DSM, but it's certainly possible.  The one advantage would come into play if you have replaced your 96 cam angle sensor with a non-96 style sensor (like a 1G 1990-1994 or a 1997-1999 cam angle sensor).  In that case, using a 97 ECU in your 96 DSM would allow you to run a "stock" plug wire configuration.  You wouldn't have to swap plug wires around or select "CAS inversion" in ECMLink.
-But it's unusual because people just don't generally have a 97 ECU lying around.  If they have a 96 non-EPROM ECU, they would normally just use that and the [[swapplugwires|swap the plug wires]] around if necessary.
-When you place your order online, you'll need to select "2G non-EPROM conversion" in the socket/conversion option at the bottom of the ECMLink ordering page.
