ST185 ecu has pinouts printed on the circuit board.
Remove the cover and compare the pinouts with the one in BGB.

That is definitely an ST185 IC, not stock ST165 IC.

Bigger Tires? - 6G Celicas Forums

EnthusiastJoined Aug 28, '04From FLA USACurrentlyOfflineReputation:4(100%)

6th Generation Celica › Exterior Styling
