reseting the ECU

[hoops]

i dnt no if this sounds stupid but how do you get about reseting the ECU, is it worth it?

 

[hoops]

sorry about that spelling mistake

 

[gavthelad]

the standard procedure would be to remove the battery terminals and leave it for about 20 mins........it is worth it as you may have old codes stored in the ecu that may want clearing??

 

[hoops]

just the battery then not disconecting the ecu?

 

[__B3NNY__]

Yup just disconnect the terminals on top of the battery and leave it for about 20minutes.


Where abouts in oxford you from mate?

I have never done this, so please excuse me, but would this not affect the alarm, and radio settings?

 

[__B3NNY__]

Nope its all fine mate ive litterlly just done it, it does wipe out your trip and you need to adjust your clock date etc... but as you proberly know i just discounnected my MAF and the managment light was on so disconnected the battery for 10 minutes and hopfully it cleard the fault code but the light certinatly has gone

Tom theres no radio code since you cant nick the mk3 radio

the only real purpose for doing so is to knock off the cel light and perform TB alignment

And also reset REVO (if you have it), mine definatly boosts harder for a week or two after a reset. IIRC you get the same affect if you disable then re enable REVO via SPS.
