'97 Civic, is this an ECU problem?
Hey guys, havinga strange problem with my '97 Civic. The engine runs fine and the car drives no problem, except the dash is completely messed up. All of the lights on the dash go on and off randomly and when I touch the brake pedal the speedometershootsup to 100mph.
Is there a separate computer that controls my dash functions or do I need and entire new ECU?
I just think it's weird that the engine doesn't have any driveability problems. My battery died a couple of weeks ago, and after I got a jump it started doing this. The battery was shot and wouldn't hold a charge, so I replaced it and have no problems there, but now my dash is all messed up.
The car only has 93K on it, and has no other problems, so I have no problem putting any kind of computer that I need to in it.
Is there anything I can check diagnostically to see what's going on?
Thanks for the help.
