Diode question

Hey guys, I'm stuck!
1993 Miata. Diode from the computer is burned out.
Location: Hold computer with yellow plug facing away from you.
On the top left-hand-side is a row of three diodes, D001, D002 and D003.
D003 is burned.
I am seeking the spec / ID number of D003.
All three diodes appear to be the same, black with a blue ring and the letter C on them.
Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
 
I'm going out on a limb here primarily as the diodes in my spare ECU are labeled D001,3,4 respectively from left to right:

It appears that the 3rd diode from the left is reverse biased from ground to B+ (Battery) with no resistor. I suspect it's in place for reverse battery polarity protection to pop the main fuse. I don't recognize the markings and I can't find it on any search. I suspect it's a Zener and haven't a clue on what the voltage rating might be.

From what I can tell and if there are no underlying issues, completely removing this diode from the circuit shouldn't have any effect on operation. What sort of problems are you experiencing?
 
When warmed up, deceleration is followed by the engine almost cutting out when you put the power back on.
Mine are marked D003, D001, D002 from left to right.
