I don't know how to change it but you find it by removing the glove box. Once the glove box is out, you'll see where all electrical connections plug in. The ECU is behind that plastic bar of plugs.

Disconnect your Negative Battery Cable

Unplug all the plugs going into the ECM replace with the same part number
