Where is the ECU located in a 17 ZForce 800?

damnimcooltom · February 16, 2020, 01:58:37 PM

My 800 is currently put in an enclosed trailer, and isn't easy to access. I was thinking about seeing if I could easily pull the ECU to send it of for tuning. Where is it actually located, so I can see if I can reach it?

Thanks.

Probably in the same place as they were on previous years. Go to the How Tos and look for my post on removing the reverse limiter. It has a video on where it is.

I won't be able to get the driver's side fender off while it's in the trailer. Do you think it's impossible to get to both bolts from under the hood? Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I was able to get the outside one by reaching up into the wheelwell with a 10mm wrench. I was standing in front of the UTV, and just kinda reached around and got my hand on it. It is up against a wall on that side, so seeing what I was doing wasn't possible, but I got it, more easily than I expected.

The other side was easier, with the trunk taken out, but of course, as I attempted to get the bolt loose from the ground wire, it slipped, and went down into the frame of the dash. I guess I need another m6x16 bolt. Oops.
