Resetting the ecu

Postby Dan » Sat Feb 24, 2007 7:17 pm

It is recommended that the engine ECU is reset after any engine performance modifications have been made to the vehicle, including using a higher octane fuel, to accelerate the learning of any new parameters. Resetting the ECU will also clear any stored error codes, however if you have a fault with your vehicle it is advisable that these codes are retrieved rather than wiped as they may help in diagnosing the problem.


Make sure the ignition is turned off

Remove the engine bay fuse box cover

Remove the 20Amp/25Amp EFI fuse

Remove the 15Amp ECTS fuse

Wait for 30 seconds

Stick back in the two fuses

Replace the fuse box cover

Martin turns the heating up full blast when he's testing a car so don't worry bout the AC he would have had them all off...

There was actually a very noticeable difference in the idle rev of the car, its gone very low but not to the point that its on the verge of stalling or anythin like that, a lot smoother delivering the power eswell

Also for Auto drivers your better off to disconnect the battery than to just pull fuses... apparently fuses alone won't reset the auto-box change up settings :wink:
