Hello all!

I have a 2000 Civic ex coupe that has been manual swapped at some point in its life and I have a couple codes stored in the computer that I don’t know how to fix. The codes are P1768 (torque converter clutch solenoid valve b circuit) and P1706 (neutral safety switch).

Given I no longer have an auto trans, is there a way to fool the computer into thinking these parts are in working order?

Put in a manual ecu

Right but is there not a way to splice wires and add say a resistor to it so it gets whatever signal it’s needing? I don’t particularly want to have spend money on it if I don’t have to.

Then just drive it.

For the sake of maybe $100, just get one. You open yourself up to a lot more potential issues trying to fool ECU's like that. You can get one from the junkyard for probably half that. They're roughly $40 CAD where I am. Probably even cheaper on classifieds.

Its possible but not worth the time, effort or money. Manual ecu would be cheaper.

youd probably have to buy a digital signal simulator, and know the signals given to the ecu, then create a map of the expected signal regarding, gear, rpm and load. Similar to creating a custom map for tuning.
