I think you will find what your looking for in that link.

The ECU is under the rear parcel shelf on the pass. side

 

The connectors (black in color) are there also

 

With the light on it may be flashing the error code

without plugging them together. Simply turn the key to run

but do not start engine.

 

Here is a link to the USMB repair manual on code reading

(see page header "USMB - Repair and Mod")

Hope this helps

are you talking about the Check Engine light?

i'd like to see a picture of an XT6 with a "Service Engine Soon Light". i've owned 10 Xt6's and seen many others, none have had that.

check engine, sue me, my chevy has a service engine soon light, also thanks for your help thanks i'll let you know what the codes say in a few days

okay it has been forever since i started this but i was wondering how do i start taking off the panel that covers the computer i am worried about damageing the 16 year old interrior it is in perfect condition

You dont need to remove any panels. Open the trunk and on the left side of the right rear speaker is the computer. There are 2 connectors, one green and one black. For more info on the procedure, go to XT6.net.

what he said...pop the trunk and the computer hangs under the rear shelf. can't miss it....a box hanging with a single blinking green LED on it. the LED blinks your codes. finding out what is causing your Check Engine light only requires popping your trunk, that is it.

On another note, do not try to remove that 'panel' or dash if that is what you are referring too. If you want to know how so that you can remove the trip computer or radio, that's for another thread. Many an audio installer or unknowing self mechanic has tried to remove the dash, only to break it or crack it severely. You have been warned.

i'm not trying to remove the dash i am a moron i just misread the thread i thought they were talking about the armrest on the right side of the back seat thanks for the clairification

 

-the idiot

FYI, the TCU is behind the drivers side seat in the quarter panel. Thats if you have a 4EAT

broken oxygen sensor wire fixed thanks no more idiot lightthanks all
