So looked at this on the UKDM last week. Chucked up code 63.
Failed 4th part of the fault-finding guide, which meant ECU.

Tried a fuse out reset to no joy, so took it apart and couldn't see a single dry joint (really, this was way better than even the JDM one had been, there was NOTHING visible wrong with any of them). Re-soldered various bits anyway, slaved it back in and to my absolute amazement, it worked fine. :shock: :?

Properly re-fitted it and was fine on the 400 miles drive yesterday.

Very odd, but very pleasing! :D

Mine looked fine too, but reflowed the solder and it solved all my issues ;)
