The ECM is under the passenger side dash. You have to remove the "hush panel" to access it. The panel is the one with the interior footwell light. Think it's 3 or 4 screws to take out.

I had my ECM out a few weeks ago. Its easiest if you remove the right seat, lay on your back, head under dash. I removed the ECM easily without removing the hush pad. Two plugs to remove, 2 hex head bolts and it drops right down.
