    TCU swap in 93 accord LX

    Hey guys. I am new to the automotive world. A little background. I was able to score an Automatic 93 Honda Accord LX with 180,000 for $500. Emaculate interior. The car was well taken care of. She runs good with the exception of the same problem many people are faced with: the TCU. I was having the problem with my D4 light staying on; checked the codes, but wouldnt produce one; so with the suggestion from a mechanically inclined friend decided to take out my TCU and check it out. Low and behold R41 was cooked; R47 had one cooked lead; C30 was cooked on one lead; and looked as though C32 was leaking. I was able to find the replacment parts for R41, R47, and C32, but wasn't able to find any info on C30. The research that I have done says it is a .0022uf capacitor. Finding this part has been a pain in the arse. I really want to fix this thing ASAP, but with the unexpected snag on the C30 part, it is taking longer than I had hoped. Can anyone tell me any more information about this CAP or tell me if TCUs out of a 90-93 will fit my car? I do know for a fact the model number on my TCU is 28100-PXO-722.

      Only put a 9091 or 9293 tcu in your car. I mean like. If you have a 1983 then only put in a tcu from 9293 or else the d4 light won't work.

        I wouldn't put a 92 or 03 in my 83! Hahaha! I know what you mean though.
        Sig removed due to excessive size.

          To say it more clearly... if you have a 90-91, you'll need a 90-91 TCU for the Sport function to work. If you have a 92-93, won't get TCU error codes, as they are sent through the S light, which didn't exist in those years.

            Thanks. So, what I'm gathering is I can replace my 93 TCU with a 92 or 93 without regards to the numbers on the TCU?

              Correct. I think the EX/SE might differ slightly from the LX/DX, but it won't be a drastic difference, if any.

                Sweet. As for the other question, does anyone know anything about C30 and what the rating or where to find one? I have searched online and found some, but I am unsure of the voltage and capacitance. Radioshack does not carry it and I have called electronic stores around here, but of course they have to order it. I have a friend of mine (the same mechanically inclined friend) who purchased an 89 Accord that he is parting out and replacing parts on his every day runner. I asked him to look at the ECU on that 89 and see if there was a similar capacitor matching C30 from my TCU. Do you guys think that will work if there is a similar one or even if there would be a similar one?
