chuckb Posted August 14, 2004 Posted August 14, 2004 What do I do? Just pull fuse and wait how long? Do I disconnect battery? Any adverse effects. Please someone let me know. I tried search but nothing came up. Will I notice performance difference? Thanks
Neo Posted August 14, 2004 Posted August 14, 2004 Fuse or battery, no need for both. I don't know the exact required time but I ususally do it for 15-20 minutes, sometimes longer. I'm either doing something else on the car or I go inside and do other things and come back later for it. The ECU learns your dirving style and adjusts to it. This just resets it to factory. You will notice the car respond quicker but eventually with a lot of stop and go and normal driving, the car will not be as "good". Then, it is time for another reset. :) Pulling the battery, you lose more settings. I remember that the clock, radio presets, seat/side mirror position memory are affected. (There may be something else I'm forgetting.) You may not lose the position memory if the ECU is pulled (vs. the battery). The fuse, I believe is the ECU-B that is in the passenger-side fuse box in the engine bay.
chuckb Posted August 14, 2004 Author Posted August 14, 2004 thanks NEO. It worked. Car feels a little crisper & seems to not let off gas as much between shifts. It sounded like my PC thinking(like sound your computer makes)for a few seconds when I plugged fuse back in
Neo Posted August 14, 2004 Posted August 14, 2004 thanks NEO. It worked. Car feels a little crisper & seems to not let off gas as much between shifts. No Prob. Sounds like you are enjoying the change. :)
