I own a 96 civic ex coupe that has been swapped from auto to 5 speed.While recarpeting my trunk I found what appears to be a factory installed computer that looks like the OBD1 thats behind the right side kick panel.Does anyone know what this is and what it controls?

 

is anything plugged into it? if not its probably your old computer from the auto tranny.

 

Idid the tranny swap myself and did not know it was there.I installed the stick ECM from the donar car and everything seems to work fine.Im just curious if i need the one in the trunk.It looks like a cool place to hide my audio amp.

 

If nothing is plugged into then no you don't need it. I have owned two civics and worked on more than i can count and have had subs put in and never come across a computer in the trunk.

 

Its behind a molded bulge on the right side trim panel.It has plugs in it now but im not sure where they go Ill try n trace them out.Your probably rite,they most likely went to the shifter plugs for the auto trans no longer being used.Or could they control the ABS?

 

Car is a 96 civic EX coupe with power windows, ABS,power sunroof,doorlocks,cruise control,and factory ac added by me.

 

any chance we can get a picture? Are the plugs yellow?

 

was it just laying in the trunk or was it hidden? It may be an alarm/ lojack box

I found my lojack box while installing stuff one day, I was pretty thrown off at first

 

if it's on the pass side it should be for your abs
