Hi
Can anyone clarify for sure if a 2003 ST170 has an EEC V or is a special circuit board in an EEC V case please?
Kind Regards

It does not say eecv but it's the same architecture.

Do you want to know for he hard ware or the software ?

 

Hi
Thank you for the reply, this sort of info is really hard to get hold of.
I bought a 'special force sniper' box that connects to the ECU via the OBD port that fits all Fords from 96 - 06 with an EEC V in (to program out PATS, EGR etc). It wont work on the ST170 and manufacturers say the 4 digit code on my ECU isnt a true EEC V.
It also wont work on my 98 Lincoln MK VIII (mustang 4.6 'intech' EEC V) either because it is running a skinny loom without the SCIL (Pats box).
This is their answer :-

"Ahh, that explains it. Our software does not support a 3NFA calibration. Even though the pcm may be the shell of a EEC-V, the circuitry inside is not. The file in that pcm is 1472kb whereas EEC-V files are 225kb."
I only have their word that they are telling the truth.
Kind Regards
Kevin

 

I've played with lots of these and I havn't seen the eecv printed on the ecu since around 1999.

 

stewart at motorsport developments will be the man for this question im sure

 

Post a pic of the label on the ecu and a pic of the guts of the ecu with the lid off.

 

The 2M5F-12A650-EA is an EEC-Levanta
