ECM location VFR800A 2006

I had a 2-blink code from the ECM, which was something with the MAP sensor.  Mechanic that I called told me to change the air filter first (hasn't been changed in 13k miles), and then reset the ECM and see if the error comes back.  I changed the filter, but now I am trying to figure out where the ECM unit/ harness is to reset it's memory.   Could you tell me where it is at, and what I need to remove to gain access to it?

Thanks!

Here.

As suggested you should download the manual....... but as far as resetting the ECM, I would think all that is needed would be to disconnect your negitive battery lead, then re-connect.

To answer your question as to ECM location here's the diagram from the service manual.

If what your mechanic meant by "reset the ECM" was to clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes, here is the procedure from the manual for that.  The DLC connector that needs jumpered is by the fuse block under the right fairing.

That sounds a little more complcated than my jeep.... I could just un-do the neg. lead / turn the headlights on till they fadded out / then re-connect the neg. lead.... This sounds a lot more involved....... Good to know........

Thanks a lot for posting the pic, and the explanation.  I also got the manual now.  I tried disconnecting the positive lead, but hadn't tried the negative.  I am pretty sure he wanted me to clear the trouble codes, to see if the issue got resolved.

Thanks again!
