Jesus954 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I forgot where i read that its recommended to reset the ecu when you buy the car used to than be able to make the ecu learn your own driving habits ....is this true or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth1 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Actually, over time, the car will learn anyway. It logs your driving habits over a certian amount of time, and makes adjustments accordingly. You can reset the ECU if you want, just disconnect the negative battery terminal for 10 minutes. Then get in the car and pump the brake pedal 10 times, wait a few more minutes and then recoonect the battery. That will clear the ECU and reset the data logging.

izzy300 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Wow I never heard that was even usefull on these cars, as I was told they re-learn and modify maps every time you start the car. I do know that resetting the ECU was a must on my old turbo Civic Thanks for the help smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
