It is not the scanner, it is the readiness monitor that has not reset. I
think he said there were no engine codes.

 

Adam, you can take the car to an AutoZone, Napa, O'reilys etc. and they
should be able to read the codes AND readiness monitors for you prior to
going back for inspection. However, if you only have 500 miles on the new
ECU, you might give it a few more. The Rear O2 sensor and EGR monitors are
the very last ones to reset/test. There is another method that someone on
the Mazdaspeed forum came up with to reset all the monitors. You might try
searching for it to see if that one will help.

And why won't your scanner read the 02s?

Yeah, even the ps wire is hooked back up....

Did you rewire back to stock completely? Ps wire hooked back up to pump,
etc? Doubt it would affect readiness, but worth a try.

I'm actually on my 2nd ECU. My stock one ran like crap (bucking and not
setting the monitors) so I swapped in a spare that I bought a couple years
ago when I suspected my original ecu of not working correctly. The
replacement runs fine. Very smooth. but the monitors still don't set. And
this new one indeed has about 500 miles on it. 

I'd dearly love a hardware reset button.

This may sound stupid but...

Is there some sort of "hardware reset" for the ECU? On computers it would be
the "BIOS Reset" jumper. There has to be a way of resetting the eeprom on
the stock ECU to factory fresh simply for troubleshooting purposes.

Otherwise, is there another ECU in the area you can borrow? Either from a 97
or 99?

no, I'm not getting a code. (I'd give an eyetooth for an actual code,
helpful or otherwise). it's just the readiness monitors not setting. AFAIK,
the monitors deal with both o2 sensors.

I will, however, recheck the sensor wiring. Wish I could get the Scangauge
to show o2 sensor output...
