Default Computer code location

Hi guys, i finally got me Capa flash tuner, but before i they send the generic tune (to start with) they told me that i need to get the computer code off the car, i assumed that it's the ecu which is behind the passanger side kick pane, correct??? i had a look for this code but i cant seem to find it, do i have to remove it to find the code? any help would be great.

Thanks all...

REmoving it is the easiest way, although you can use a mirror as well to get the code. It will be a combo of four digits, like 3DFA or 12QB.

WTDB is the "catch code" CAPA will recognise.

As a matter of interest, is the 7-digit code something like N9XJ4F9? That code would be useful information for the Aussie EEC hacking project.

That would be way off-topic... :monkes:

There is a thread in the ECU forum in the Workshop, also a couple of threads in the ECU forum on fordmods. It's mostly EF-EL focused ATM but applies equally to the AU.
