If you just want to reset your TCU, can’t you pull the 10Amp ECU fuse and it will reset it? I know it resets the ECU, clock, and radio presets.

I dont wanna mess any of the programing in it.. Lets say i pull out the tcu and "fix" it. After i install it back do i just pull out the ECU fuse and it will reset the tcu and it will be good to go??

My dad got me 2 different tcus at a jy.. If they work and If i install one of these into my car will everything work fine?

Resetting the TCU will not modify the programming to control the automatic transmission but merely clear the error codes in the TCU. If the TCU’s are from a 4 speed auto Accord, I’m pretty sure they’re all the same. Honda just used that PBX-4 transmission in all ’90-’93 Accords if I’m correct.
