Geez mate, now your testing my memory, lol.

I think initially I had to go digging up top like you, near the high mount stop light. I ran a wire down the passenger side & in behind the side panel where my TV tuner is. I used this to power the reverse camera as well as switch the display input.

Then, more recently, I connected into this same wire for the Pin55 reset, so didn't actually see the reverse light wire as such. I could look at the manual to see what colour it should be, but pretty easy for you to test it by probing it with a pin.

Hey guys I might have a solution that's a bit easier than running wire from rear camera. I only did the brake wire cut today so ill have to wait till the engine light comes on to test it properly.

Months back I installed some LED strips to light the footwells and I powered them from the key barrel ring light which must be triggered by door switch/module. I haven't got my multimeter on me but I'm pretty sure it's a 12v feed as the lights needed that supply, so I was thinking piggy back that wire to the pink/blue brake ecu side and every time I'm chucking the kids in the car/loading groceries/driving with my doors open, that should reset the light automatically. And it's easy to run just across bottom of dash.

So ill wait till warning comes on to see if it will work and will post results. Cheers mates.

Hey Dave, sounds perfect since you've already found that wire.

Of course that will preclude you from launching with the door open for that fully sic Youtube video :w00t:

Hi all,

Got to test out my setup today, ECL came on in morning and I hooked the wire up to my interior light circuit to see what would happen. Light cleared after about 3 seconds, happy as.

So to anyone wanting a relatively easy way to do this mod and make it automatically reset itself, carry out the following:

Run a wire from the positive side of the ignition key light (ring) - easy to access just pull off a few trims, run it down behind stereo area (straightened coat hanger helps to feed through) across under glovebox to ecu side pink/blue wire.

Job done.

*NOTE: This mod will only work successfully if you occasionally have your car running with the doors open. Also it may still bring the light on over long distance drives, so not perfect but just another way of doing things. Cheers!

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
