How to reset the ECU
Does anyone know How to reset the ECU after you do a simple mod. IE Change air filter, Add CAI, change exhaust etc...
Any help would be appreciated!
This is important for those of us putting in the K&N or taking off the pre-silencer.
Please Help

Not sure if this is THE correct way, but it seems logical...

Disconnecting the negative terminal from the battery will not reset the ECU. I tried doing that when I got my XM radio radio installed and had the SES light. FIrst I tried it for 15, then 30, then an hour. I took it to the dealership the next day and they reset it in less than 30 mins. But, if your dealer is far away or is backed up, u may want to attempt the service manual's long process of resetting it.
