? Can Honda ZAP ECU VIN #s ?
 

I recently replaced a non-working ECU in my son's 98 Civic.
Now the VIN in the ECU no longer matches the car's VIN. I
have saved the original ECU and the receipt for the replacement
ECU (bought from a junk yard), so I am not worried about NYS
giving us problems. However, it would be nice to have the ECU
officially changed so that all the numbers once again match.
A friend said he thought Honda could do this. Has anyone had
experience with getting this done?
Thanks,
Don

doubt they can change the serial for the ecu - that stuff is usually
hard coded. but it's probable that the dealer can re-associate your new
ecu with your vin in their system. if that matters.
