1993 Sidekick JX CEL issues

[brocklanders]

ok ,some one put fed, ecu in a Cal car or reverse.?
or someone put a fed, EGR on a Cal car.
so that means if your car is a FED car, and some one put in a CALIF, ECU, you get 53s.
all this is easy to find.
letes start at easy. (easy was that sticker, i have no response on that)
what do we know?, we know for 3 reasons, that this is a fed car, the NAG switch is present. (ecu P/N and hood sticker both prove the car is fed harness)
but a nag proves, FED speedo...

so the hood sticker is devoid of Calif. right?
then open hood. and look at the EGR valve.
does it have 2 wires to it?

1993 the first EGR used on the G16B was a new deviced, EGR thermo sensor, in the side, and a new ECU to match, if you run a FED ecu, bam ,code
in 1994 (unknow body serial) the started using the new EGR , from calif ,in both, cars, that all changed in 1996, when they went to EGR MAP,way.

now the correct ECU. i have page listing every ECU used in N. America. (includes canada)
its not just the ECU , wrong, its wrong harness. the fed car has its own harness.


ECU; PAge 3

58B30 is correct ECu
did some PO,. put in a 58B10? or other? listed there....
my guess is yes.

but i need hood sticker only that tells what the car came with new, and what harness is in car.
also on some ECU the harness pins have extra grounds. to tell ECU, that its CALIF, time.
there is a trick to fool calif ECU, seen on the ECU page. under Calif.

what the ECU does (punish wise) for 53s is not documented on earth.
but it might go to FAILSAFE.
nor does it document if you have 53s? can and will the ECU run all other monitors ok? and report other problems? all a deep dark , Suzuki secret,.. so 53s are first. first order failures.


more facts, if car has CAL ECU
the EGR Thermoprobe (EGRT) , open , dead , or disconnected will throw 53s as will its Red-green wire, in fact 2, the Fed car has no such wire near the EGR at all.

what does your sticker say?
what ECU ,do you have

ecu pull or find, or view. see here

an ECU tag looks like this.

the 56 or 58Bxx part is very very important.

I will snap a photo of the sticker tomorrow ( today is my wedding anniversary and my wife would flip if I decided to work on the Zuk LOL!) I will pull the ECU and check the part number at the same time. Is there a way to make the Cali ECU work if this in fact the culprit or do I need to source a good FED ECU?

On a side note I have a sick feeling about the ECU being wrong as the PO stumbled on his words when questioned about the CEL ( he made some comment about a sensor being CALI and the ECU being FED but he was not mechanically inclined one bit so who knows)
