how do you reset a VQ ecu?

 

ugh, mine came on too, i thought it was b/c my popcharger filter was dirty, but autozone said it was a multiple cylinder misfire. ugh

 

remove the positive ( + ) from the battery.. lett it sitt for like 10 sec.. n then put it back.. everything should be fine

1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON” and wait 3 seconds.

2. Repeat the following steps (a and b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds:
--a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD).
--b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.

3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking.

4. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking)

5. Wait about 10 seconds.

6. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds.

7. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink).

8. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and now you can start the car. The CEL light should be gone.

 

Good to know thanks for the info!

 

The Technosquare method takes impecable timing. It's a lot easier to 1) disconnect the battery and leave it off overnight or 2) disconnect the battery and step on the brake pedal for a few seconds or 3) take it to Autozone and have them read/clear the code.
