The ECU and TCU are in the right (passenger) side fuse box in the engine compartment. The engine computer should be the really obvious one with 5 plugs coming into it. The transmission control unit is UNDER the fuse box. That's right, you have to lift the fuse box up to get to the tiny little black TCU.

Looks like this:

Looks like this:

Does the battery really have to be disconnected to pull the TCU/ECS box?

I want to check for trans oil wicking via the tcu wire harness into the TCU box.

First time, how do you lift the fuse Box with the metal tabs seen?
Just lift up? Or remove metal tabs?
