So the SC 300/400’s have the ECU under the front passenger seat? Mine is in the floor under the dash on the passenger side of my Soarer.

Remove passenger side molding and carpet, unhook the three main connectors on ECU, unbolt, and you're done.

Make sure you are grounded before handling the ECU. (I poped one when I worked for FORD)
