If you haven't figured it out yet, it's behind the E-brake, and access to it is from the engine compartment, so the easiest is to remove the drivers front tire, then the inner liner, get a mirror, and read the label. Kind of a pain. Maybe just go to Autozone, Oreillys, or someone with a code reader - it might tell you.

I pulled it out last week and read it. Wasn't terribly difficult, but I wouldn't want to do it regularly. Good call on using a code reader... the SCT I'm using to tune/datalog tells me the strategy. I think I would have had to still pull the computer to verify the hardware code though.

Yeah always best to yank the ecu to see the actual hardware code as its not too uncommon for ecu's to get strategy swapped.
