How to reset your ECU in less than 1 minute

Показать описание

I was talking with a friend who resetted the ecu of his honda civic by removing the positive and negative terminals from the battery. That might work but this is a faster method. BTW you can also reset the ecu by unplugging it but this method is usually faster.

Out of all the videos I have watched over the years and recently about how to turn off a check engine light, this is the first one that has shown this method. Great information
😎👍

7-years later and this morning the dreaded dash light came on, initially YTube vids disconnect battery cables but watched your vid for short cut fix it. Now I need to DIY to see if I get your results👍

😁I had recently purchased a 2018 Ford Escape that was getting poor mileage because it had been "living" at sea level and it now lives in Denver, CO which is 5400 above sea level. I took your advice, plus I also pulled all other fuses connected with with the engine or transmission. Mileage went from 22.5 to 27.2 immediately. Thanks!

Dude, you rock. This right here is the difference between your knowledge and wisdom. I'm compiling a list of useful car knowledge, and this is going in it.

THANK YOU!! You are a life saver, and this sure beats undoing the battery terminals.

I haven't tried it yet, but it makes a whole lot of sense to just reset the ECU fuse only.

Thank you I was trying to find the key sequence to reset the ECU in a Subaru for example my 2014 Dodge Avenger if you want to reset the ECU you could just turn the key to the on position and pump the gas 7 times but nobody seemed to know it so this idea is 100x better than disconnecting the battery and pumping the brakes

Brilliant . Disconnecting battery terminal can upset folding mirror function and window shutting .

IF your car has a problem the light is going to come back on again before long, do yourself a favor and buy an inexpensive code scanner (about $40) and you can read all the codes and fix the problem the right way, or if you just want to turn the light off it will do that too without popping the hood

This method will not work if you already have a bad ecu/ ecm

The music made mine work. Even put the baby to sleep for the real win.

OMG This was so helpful. I hate take the cables off the battery. Thank you. 🤗

Best method, so much better than taking batt cbl off. My radio has about 40 settings that are lost at battery change etc. On my Ranger I killed the pwr to the PCM memory and drained it by putting a load on it at the fuse box. (an analog meter, then let the needle fall to 0). Still have intermittent flooding at start after replacing fuel injectors. So if anybody has suggestion I'm listening. Other than smelling gas at warm start sometimes it runs great and the trans shift points are smooth as glass now.

I have some tips to share as I have experienced this problem for quite sometime. So many way I have tried but the problem was never resolved until lately I got a tip from a good foreman for my bmw. Belief me or not, all what you need to do it change the ignition coil, one set. 4 cylinders car, you need to change all 4 units or if for 6 cylinders car, you need to change 6 unit. Don't just change only 1 unit. All my car problems has been resolved. Very smooth engine, just like new car. No more "engine check" signal came in. Trust me.
