Please do not flame on me. I just need to know how to reset the ECU on my Z. I am getting it back in about a week, and want to seset the ECU. I used the search button. I think that I have to disconnect the battery for while. Is this correct?

 

leave your battery off for about 30 minutes...that'll reset everything

Some of us are nice here

 

why would you resent the ecu?? is this done to help the comp, re learn or something if you have minor bolt on mods??? let me know

 

why would you reset the ecu?? Do you do it if you have simple bolt ons?? to kinda make the ecu re-learn or something??? let me know interested in this

 

ecu will learn after couple of hundred miles. or disconnect battery for 24 hours.

 

just follow the directions, it will probally take a couple of tries to get the timming right...

The technosquare route just seems so much more difficult and you risk getting a CEL if you don't do it right.

 

My car is in the shop. It's getting a new, tranny, flywheel and clutch. I bought the car used. I just want to reset the ECU because I have read lots of threads stating that the ECu adapts to driving styles. Since the car is used I want the car to adapt to my driving habits.

 

Do you think the engineers would have designed something like this into the ECU if it were not the proper way to do it? A half trained monkey could turn the ignition a few times and pump the gas pedal in sequence. God forbid you screw up, you might have to start over and do it again. It takes all of a minute to complete and doesn't reset your head unit in the process. It also doesn't require popping the hood, using tools, or waiting. To each their own.

 

I just disconnected my neg terminal and hit the brakes a few times and I think that I just resetted the ECU. Nice the car feels more powerfull.
