I have a question about AB 2289.

Does the new regulation for MY2000+ have any hang ups on swapping a different ECU? As this would have a VIN wouldn't that cause a failure?

Also what if you're running TGV deleted and have the CEL turned off? The error code is still thrown correct? Automatic failure?

cheers

All the test does is check to make sure the ECU reads as the right one, and that it has no errors. That is IT. It can't tell if you have a tune, it can't tell if you have the 'wrong' ecu so long as its one that reads back proper.

Awesome. Thanks for the response OB.

So if it's a 2001 Impreza RS with a 2002/2003 Impreza WRX... Could get sticky...

cheers
