Replacing bad ECM

Replacing bad ECM
Hey guys I'm new here so bare with me. I have a 2003 Acura CL Auto (Type-S or Base model is still in question). I'm not 100% sure what it is. Took it to Acura dealer to have the ECM checked. They said its bad. So now I bought a used ECM on Ebay. My question is does the ECM have to come from a Auto Type-S or Base for it to be compatible? I'm having the dealer reprogram it.

It was a false claim by a technician at the Acura dealer. He thought my CL was a base model since it had a base ECM installed. Thank you for the reference you've mentioned which ECM I needed. Now I know I've got the correct one order.

Yes. It's been verified I have a Type-S. I had the multiple things going on with the car. First I had the VSA and /_!_\ lights on. There was also a permanent 83-1 PCM/ECM faulty error. At first I replaced the VSA switch which I thought went bad but that did not work. Then I replaced the ABS computer module which also did not work. That's the reason I took it to the dealer. They diagnosed it and found that the ECM was able to take in info but not transmit info out.
