I wish there was a site which listed all the ECU codes. Even Ford get them wrong half the time.

I know on the E series ECU's there is a slight method to their madness.

The full part number also makes up the catch codes 96DA-12A650-JB is the same as 6DJB.

A 96Dx is something from a standard falcon. A 96DT is something made by tickford. If you look at the catch code I used above, it is typically:

6 is the year of release
D or T is Ford or Tickford
J is the model --> In this case is for an EL Fairmont Ghia
B is the revision of that model --> In this case 2nd revision. I know my ECU goes upto JE, so there are 5 overall revisions.

From memory, model B is a I6 auto type ECU. Model A are manuals. Model N are police autos. Model D are EL Fairmont / Fairlane autos. So there are heaps of them.

If you PM me your email address I have a document which lists 80% of the Ford ECUs from XE to EF and some EL's. I can forward it on. But it isnt 100% trustworthy either, but its better than nothing.
