The TCU I have as a 97 is the same as your MY. So I guess there is a break somewhere in 96. The MY uses a different processor and does not have an external memory socket.

Mike,
I got a little mixed up in ECU/TCU land. I know you don't have an OBD2 ECU available but it sounds like a 1996 TCU may still be upgraded IF it is labeled MQ versus MY. Is that correct? If so, do you have any idea if an MY TCU can be replaced by an MQ in a 1996? After reading lots of threads on ECUs and TCUs I got the impression that all bets are off for any ECU/TCU mods in an OBD2 car but, after re-reading this thread, I am starting to think that may not be the case. And I found another thread from last November where you said that you found the solenoid A memory locations for the 1996 TCU. I need to look at my car to see what the code is on the TCU and, hopefully it will be MQ.
