- Tue Apr 05, 2011 2:13 am #248372 no never did with my other car same setup never did that

- Tue Apr 05, 2011 3:38 am #248411 I would unhook the battery for awhile maybe to reset the ECU, or double check your ECU plugs that they are in all the way.

- Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:30 am #248448 did the battery thing no change is there a spec time that it takes to reset itself?

- Tue Apr 05, 2011 11:06 am #248478 usually its 10 seconds. did you pull the ECU fuse or just disconnect the battery...its better to pull the fuse

- Tue Apr 05, 2011 9:03 pm #248561 yeh its better to remove battery then pull the fuse for 10 seconds maybe that will help....

in general u r not suppose to unplug the ecu without removing the battery first this can harm ur ecu, u might get lucky two or three times but eventually it will harm ur ecu
