<h1>How to run ECMLink in a 98/99 DSM</h1> <div class="level1"> <p> To run ECMLink in a 98/99 DSM, you will need to first locate a suitable ECU replacement. The 98/99 DSM ECUs do not support our flash module modification. We do not have plans to support the 98/99 DSM ECU yet because of copy protection concerns. So for the time being, you must run a 95, 96 or 97 ECU in your 98/99 DSM in order to use ECMLink. These are direct, plug-in replacements for the 98/99 ECUs with the minor exceptions noted below. </p> </div> <h2>ECU Details</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> For the 2G DSMs, there are a few different types of ECUs that are compatible with ECMLink. </p> <ul> <li class="level1"> 95 EPROM ECU (MD312464 or MD309947 with "E" on <a href="http://www.dsmlink.com/images/photos/eculabel-mid.gif" class="urlextern" title="http://www.dsmlink.com/images/photos/eculabel-mid.gif" rel="nofollow">the case label</a>)</li> <li class="level1"> 95 non-EPROM ECU (MD312464 or MD309947 without "E" on <a href="http://www.dsmlink.com/images/photos/eculabel-mid.gif" class="urlextern" title="http://www.dsmlink.com/images/photos/eculabel-mid.gif" rel="nofollow">the case label</a>)</li> <li class="level1"> 96 non-EPROM ECU (MD321911 or MD321912)</li> <li class="level1"> 97 non-EPROM ECU (MD326328 or MD335287)</li> </ul> <p> The following sections break each of these down for you. We do usually have ECUs in stock too, if you can't find one yourself. We sell them directly off <a href="http://www.ecmtuning.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=41" class="urlextern" title="http://www.ecmtuning.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=41" rel="nofollow">our website</a> with new ECMLink package purchases. </p> </div> <h3>Using a 95 EPROM ECU</h3> <div class="level3"> <p> You can run a 95 EPROM ECU by simply swapping the plug wires under the hood. See our <a href="/wiki/doku.php?id=swapplugwires" class="wikilink1" title="swapplugwires">plug swap page</a> for details. It's really very easy. </p> <p> You should also go into the ECU Config→Misc tab and check the "use non-95/96 style cam angle sensor" check box. </p> <p> That's really all there is to running a 95 EPROM ECU in your 98/99 DSM. </p> <p> 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. </p> </div> <h3>Using a 95 or 96 non-EPROM ECU</h3> <div class="level3"> <p> You can use a 95 or 96 non-EPROM ECU if you absolutely have to. But if you're going to use a non-EPROM ECU anyway, it's better to try to locate 97 non-EPROM ECU. </p> <p> If you do decide to use a 95 or 96 non-EPROM ECU, then you will need to select "2G non-EPROM conversion" in the socket/conversion option at the bottom of the ECMLink ordering page. </p> <p> You will also need to swap your plug wires and check the cam angle sensor checkbox as described above for a 95 EPROM ECU. </p> </div> <h3>Using a 97 non-EPROM ECU</h3> <div class="level3"> <p> To use a 97 non-EPROM ECU, you do not need to swap the plug wires or check the cam angle sensor checkbox because the 97 ECU was made to work with the same cam angle sensor as found on a 98/99 DSM. </p> <p> All you need to do is select "2G non-EPROM conversion" in the socket/conversion option at the bottom of the ECMLink ordering page. </p> </div>
