-===== EPROM Check ===== 
- 
-First, please check to make sure you have an EPROM model ECU.  ECMLink is **only** compatible with EPROM model ECUs.  The following two pictures illustrate the difference.

-If you have a '​90-'​97 non-EPROM ECU, we can offer an [[http://​www.ecmtuning.com/​product/​noneprom|EPROM conversion]] service. ​ But if you have a '​98-'​99 ECU, you will have to locate a suitable EPROM replacement ECU.  Our [[epromid|EPROM ID]] page has more information related to this.  If you do need to order a new ECU, check with us.  We do sometimes have [[http://​www.ecmtuning.com/​product/​epromecu|EPROM ECUs]] in stock.

-Once you have identified that your ECU has an EPROM, next you'll need to check to see if the EPROM is installed in a socket or not.  If the EPROM is soldered directly to the ECU's PCB, then you will need to have that ECU socketed before you can install ECMLink. ​ If, however, the EPROM is installed in a socket like the one shown [[socketpartnumber|here]],​ then you're all set.  A socket like this allows the EPROM and/or ECMLink flash device to be easily removed and replaced without having to do any soldering work.
