in which case its probably either a VN/VP auto tune (which is the same code as VN/VP manual and runs on a VR manual computer) or its running in limp home mode.

From memory the come bin you posted was 32k so most likely a manual bin - may have been setup for a hydraulic auto though but will still work well enough with a manual box. Would need to check error codes to see why CEL is coming on.
A VR auto bin will not run in a manual ECU for a number of reasons - the first is a manual ECU can only access 32k due to the upper address line being pulled high and not CPU controlled.
