    1991 TCU in 1992 Accord

    So I finally got my Accord running after three months. Started with bad fuel, then a bad distributor. Finally got around to fixing everything. My next issue is that the D4 light is on but not throwing any codes. The automatic transmission is acting like there is an issue with the TCU. Back when I had my 1991 Accord EX, I had to change the computer. Unfortunately that car died, but I kept the good TCU in it.

    My question is, will the TCU from the 1991 Accord work in my 1992 accord?
    Does anyone else have a monthly budget of 10mm sockets or is it just me?

    So I bit the bullet and did the swap. It works, but the D4 light doenst come on when shifted into it. I srill have all gears but the light doesnt come on. Does this have to do with the 1991 having that button on the shifer?

      Probably. While it works with the 91 TCU, get on ebay, search for TCU repair service by "mandigital". Send him yours, he repairs it and ships it back very quickly with lifetime guarantee for $75. He repaired two of mine last year, both working fine.

        You are exactly correct. 92-93 autos do not have the Sport mode that is on the 90-91 models. The TCU will kind of work, but it's not the correct TCU. Get yours fixed or get a new one.

          The 90-91 TCU throws error codes through the S light, whereas the 92-93 TCU throws error codes through the D4 light. I assume your D4 light stopped working because the wiring is different.

          You'd be better off getting another 92-93 TCU, or getting your old one repaired as fleetw00d suggested. The one you're using now will work, but it's best not to use it long-term. At the very least, you may not be able to see error codes should they arise. It's very possible that you had a bad TCU AND transmission issues that are throwing codes.
          Treat your current TCU as a stopgap, not a permanent solution. Otherwise, you may end up with more expensive issues on your hands.

            Thanks for the input. I decided to repair it and it works great now. I didn't like how it was with the other one. Now my next question. Should I put my spare PT3 ECU in it instead of the stock LX ecu?

            Thanks.

              Is the PT3 chipped and running a tune that will run your motor correctly? If not, then just use the stock ECU.
