Board Number and Year-to-Year Revisions

There were 3 major changes to the ECU's during the 1991-1995 model run:

  • Gen "A", 1991-1992 Model Years, MCU Code "28", Board Number E-2281A
  • Gen "B", 1993 Model Year, MCU Code "36", Board Number E-2413A
  • Gen "C", 1993-1995 Model Years, MCU Code "3E", Board Number E-2413A

Interchange of external ROM files from the same generation is possible. For instance, a Gen A PY3-A52 ECU can be upgraded with a ROM file from a PY3-A55 ECU which contains many various revisions and updates to program code. A Gen C PY3-A57 Type I ECU can be upgraded with a ROM file from a PX9-A67 ECU for Type II functionality.

Hardware Revisions

There are 2 board versions - 1991-1992 E2281A boards and 1993-1995 E-2413A boards. The newer E2413A board is a lighter color and there are slight changes to component layout. The most notable inclusion is a 5 Pin serial communications header "CN400", which replaces the individual TX and RX test pads of the older ECU. A quick way to tell if you have a 1993-1995 (gen B or C) ECU is to check the top cover. It will have a cut-out with a plastic window on the top cover to view an on board LED. It lights whenever a critical internal problem with the ECU is present and for adjusting idle when in diagnostic mode. It also blinks quickly each time the ignition is turned on.

Software Revisions

There are 3 (incompatible) versions of the program code within the MCU. The last two digits of the part number on the MCU identify the code - YEAMHT532Z28 in this example. This code is the identifier of the revision of the internal coding in the ROM. The coding changes with each revision, with the most drastic taking place between the Gen A and Gen B Ecu's. The Gen B & C ECU's use short format addressing for RAM address 'FCxx - instead of addressing 'FC10, 'FC is dropped and only '10 is required. This saves significant coding space and drastically speeds up operation of the program, hence why the later 93+ generation ECUs are more refined. It appears that there may have been a slight mistake in the 93 MCU coding that required an internal coding change for the 94-95 model years.

Hardware Options

R422 Automatic/Manual Transmission

R422

This resistor, R422 controls address line A14 of the external ROM. When R422 is present the A14 address line is pulled high and the upper 16K of the ROM, which is programmed for Automatic Transmissions, is selected. With its absence A14 is pulled low and it uses the lower 16K of the ROM which is programmed for Manual Transmissions. This resistor can be replaced with a switch and a custom dual bank ROM can be programmed to run two separate programs. To convert an Automatic ECU to a Manual ECU simply cut R422!

R411 California/Federal Emissions

R411

This resistor, R411 pulls a multiplexed analog input on IC416 high. It's presence selects Federal emissions. It's absence selects California emissions. There is an internal program switch that can disable checking for this resistor altogether and lock the program in Federal mode.

R409 Traction Control

TCS R409

R409 (in blue) selects whether traction control is supported via the ECU. When supported, the red area of the board is populated with various components to convert traction control signals. There is an internal program switch that can disable checking for this resistor altogether and lock the program in non-TCS mode.

Large Integrated Circuits (IC's)

  • IC401: Hitachi 6435328CP10; H8/532 MCU
    • The Processor: AKA the MCU/CPU/Microprocessor/etc. This H8/500 based processor contains 32KB of embedded masked ROM and 1KB of static RAM.
      • Hitachi H8/532 MCU Programming manual contains information on assembly level commands of the processor.
      • Hitachi H8/532 MCU Hardware manual contains information on hardware, layout and interface of the processor.


  • IC404: Matsushita 27C256 ROM Chip
    • The "Chip": Mask ROM (not reprogrammable). Contains all of the variables, fuel and ignition tables and some program code.


  • IC402: Matsushita Proprietary LSIC
    • Due to its proprietary nature, no datasheet is available from Matsushita. This mysterious LSIC chip controls the fuel injectors, ignition timing and various inputs and outputs. It works in conjunction with the MCU and is memory mapped. It runs on a slower E clock signal from the MCU.


  • IC501: Matsushita Proprietary Processor
    • Due to its proprietary nature, no datasheet is available from Matsushita. A custom ASIC of some sort, this processor controls the backup function of the ECU and is called into operation anytime the MCU experiences a hard fault - a **checksum error, internal fault or short circuit within the ECU. It batch fires the injectors and ignition coils and features a 4000RPM rev limit. You could completely remove the processor from the ECU and the engine would still run on this chip.

Schematic Diagrams

Address Line Schematic
A/D Input Schematic

I drew two schematic diagrams of the ECU. One was for address and chip select signals to the chip and the other for the A/D direct and multiplexed inputs. The A/D schematic is incomplete because I found the information I needed to complete the disassembly within the program. ~sr5guy
