Really unenjoyable brakes. Help :( (ALB?)

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...?

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

Also it's timely, because next week is 3g working week, so I'd better start 'genning' (see what I did there?

) up on the thing really

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.
