Oh also, does anybody know where this 'ALB ECU' is?

I had assumed it was the standard ECU under the seat, y'know the flashy light box ;) but I can't seem to find a valid link to any troubleshooting for the codes for that? The ones I find don't list ALB at all - but they also list emissions components failures and UK cars didn't have any back then :?

Is there a separate hidden one just for the ALB system because it was a later-added option or...?

8-) You are an absolute star for actually researching that,
You're welcome - I'm a sad dancer that's interested in my chosen work discipline (engineering) so I couldn't help but be interested by the debate and want to understand how it worked :roll: :tosser:
Also it's timely, because next week is 3g working week, so I'd better start 'genning' (see what I did there? ;-) :lol: :? :poke: :sega: :evil: :cry: ) up on the thing really :D

The ALB ECU on my 3G accord is in the centre console, mounted on the exhaust tunnel behind the cassette deck. I think that's where it is on all of them.
