Resetting your ECU with BIG`O

**Honda Enthusiast** · 29-09-2006 01:47 PM

Just say if I don't reset it...wouldn't the computer automatically recognise the change? I drive a 1998 vehicle so it should be smart enough, right? If I don't reset it, doesn't harm the car at all besides the slight urge to drink a bit more petrol?

What about just take the battery cable out, isn't that a lot easy.

not quite as easy as popping a fuse in & out.

yeah, if you like resetting all the radio security code, station presets channels and the clock.

its much easer to do it through the fuse. only disconect the batt if your not having any luck finding the corect fuse.

Easy....

but... if you got an alarm wired with sensors and shit in your engine bay... damn, reset the battery will kill your ear drums.

Easiest way I find, is to remove the connector plugs from the ECU.

This will remove the constant power source and all RAM stored parameters in the ECU will be cleared.

Correct!

This method will also remove any viruses you have contracted from the internal flux processor.

so can u do all this in the morning when the engine is still cold, or do u have to have warmed up the engine ? coz the motor tends to rev high during idol wen its cold, will this affect the outcome?
