reset ecu or not?

[Dr.k20z1]

u rekn reset the ecu when just got exhaust done?

take off, leave for 10 mins, then put back on run the car in for 5 or so?

then does anything else need to be done for the car to be back to normal? aparently pw for the head unit and that? this if for DC5S btw..

so yeah what u rkn guys?

cheeersss

Hey Man. U just need to take the fuse out.
It helps heaps. Look in your Car Manuel. for ecu fuse it so easy ay!!!

[Dr.k20z1]

hahahah the manuals in a bunch of letters and that haha its gonna be hard to find :( so could u tell me? which one it is :D

[EL_DC5]

OK I think the fuse is in the fuse box near the battery, take the fuse out it (5sec) then replace it. then start the car and leave it runnig for 3min before you start reving it and trying it out :)

[Dr.k20z1]

haha ok ill do it now! better be :( hope my car doesnt break down hahahahahahaha

so theres only one fuse?

[EL_DC5]

don't be lazy, it in the manuel. its got picture for people like you .. ROFL !!!
hahahah the manuals in a bunch of letters and that haha its gonna be hard to find :( so could u tell me? which one it is :D

[Dr.k20z1]

hahaha which fuse is it! theres millions! LOL

[Dr.k20z1]

is it the biggest one? ha HA hellpppp

[EL_DC5]

no there are like 15 different fuses. Refer to the owners manuel for the number of the fuse. OK i cant tell you with out looking at the book.

you can take the battery of for 10min but it stuffs you radio and window funtion for a while somet=imes like days


haha ok ill do it now! better be :( hope my car doesnt break down hahahahahahaha

so theres only one fuse?

[Dr.k20z1]

awww ellyy dc5ee hahahah come onnn.. i have to look for th manual now..

:( haha

[iversonruls]

u need to put ur radio code in after u pull out the battery
so better hv ur radio code ready

DONT reset the ecu. IT will make your car run rich and use more fuel for the next tank or two.
Just run the car as normal , and the ECU will adjust to compensate for the freer flowing exhaust . Mind you , to actually gain power you should have a proper CAI too

[EL_DC5]

ahhh, I think he would rather want a power gain then to save a bite of fuel, IMO. when i mod'd my car there was a slit increase in power from 120 kwatw to 124, then reset ecu = 129.8KillerWasps atw's

How long after putting ont eh system did you dyno ? After , you reset the ECU and dynoed again straight away ?

Correct me if wrong

id assume thats because the ecu is running richer - but this will reduce back to a number inbetween your 124 and 129.8 kwatw.

It was all done after the other. about 10 min after the ecu was reset.

It was then dynoed at a different place at 128.4

I was told buy a tuners that this gives results

[bennjamin]

its only a matter of time. Your ECU cannot give more power just like that lol. Over time ( km's of driving ) a ECU will self trim to optimum automatically.

Can anyone confirm here ?
What is the quickest way to benefit from a bolt on mod ? ( I/H/E)
1.reset your ECU
2.Leave the car be. And wait for teh ECU to self adjust.
Both will give the same end result

[EL_DC5]

You can even feel the power man...

have you had a bad experiance with resetting the ECU that u dont like to touch it???

[bennjamin]

No thats not the point :) My point is " the ecu will self adjust after an amount of time anyway". So , if you reset your ECU and drive say 2 weeks you will have the same power as not resetting your ECU.

[Dr.k20z1]

so is this a yes or no guys? hahaha imma gonna do it now :S hahahah no1s awake for me to ask.. lOL im guessin its the battery terminal fuse! here goes :(

[Dr.k20z1]

i just tried this! :( now my stereo isnt working i tried settin the time and it wont let me haha..

awwwwwww


and the previous owner didnt give me no 5 number security number ahhh.. wud anyone have one! :( lol

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

I just prefer to disconnect the battery for a few hrs. Altho this way is easier, you will have to reset clock and Stereo.

[gumbs]

As far as I understand it when you reset the ecu it will lose all its data and go back to a conservative and rich setting. It will then slowly lean the mixture out until it reaches the point where it starts losing power.
It will use more fuel in the short term but depending on the system and the car it should end up back near its origonal fuel consumption.

Without reseting the ecu isn't it less likely to increase the richness of the mixture as it already has a setting which is pretty optimum for fuel useage.

Do ecu's continue to learn and keep slowly adjusting the mixture or do they find a good middle ground and stay there? This has got me curious, does anyone know for sure how your standard ecu works in regards to mods?


To the Op there should be a diagram on the back of the fuse cover (well there is on every car I've ever touched) which shows all the fuses and their locations and amperage.

told u that u need the code ready first before resetting

go into honda dealer with ur proof of ownership

they sld give u the code

go to the one where ur 1 is bought originally cuz i think if u go to another

dealer they charge u a fee

[Dr.k20z1]

omg this sucks... no code :(

[EL_DC5]

LOL, ECU fuse ROFL....

Im preety sure i Posted it somewhere ^^^ LOL ECU FUSE!!FTW!


so is this a yes or no guys? hahaha imma gonna do it now :S hahahah no1s awake for me to ask.. lOL im guessin its the battery terminal fuse! here goes :(

[EL_DC5]

haha ECU FUSE
I said it in this post

Hey Man. U just need to take the fuse out.
It helps heaps. Look in your Car Manuel. for ecu fuse it so easy ay!!!

[Dr.k20z1]

i did number 19 man.. the one with the screws :(
pretty sure there wasnt a ecu fuse LOL
awww mann.. gay


empty ur pm box :D

lol

[Dr.k20z1]

problem solvered! haha..

called them up at no charge they gave me the code :D woot woot music is in again! hehe

thanks guys for ur help :D

[iversonruls]

thats gay... they didnt give me the code on the phone last time

lol

[Dr.k20z1]

hahahahahahhahahah :D its cos they knew it was me calling lol

[EL_DC5]

hey the fuse you need to pull out is the ENGINE fuse( located on the Fuse box next to the battery). i had a look at the book, Its Fuse number 6 it a small normal fuse.

[Dr.k20z1]

oo gee thanks el HAHAHAHAHAHHA :P now u tell me hehe

[EL_DC5]

where anout you from Dr K

[Dr.k20z1]

brisbane man.. why wassup :D
