Resetting ECU

Post by fieval79 »

Ok, which fuse is it you pull to reset the ECU???<P>I know how to do it with disconnecting the battery, but it's easier to pull a fuse than it is to disconnect the battery. <P>Can anyone advise ?? :roll:

I think you mean the main fuse, it's under the hood and in the fuseblock like a little b----. Just disconnect the battery or you'll bust of the fuse(trust me) :(

Yeah, I know what you mean by the main fuse being a b----......i tried to pull it and didn't get it out (so I didn't try any harder) Almost looks as though there is a bolt holding it in.... <P>I'm resetting mine because of my intake and because my car was doing wierd things during idle after long runs. Trying to see if this will fix it. Probably not, but it's worth a shot :)

Unplug the battery for 30 mins..<BR>that should do it. Should only a few mins, but just to be safe, leave it unplugged a while.
