How to reset your ecm?

Answer 1

This very simple procedure will Erase the "Adaptive Memory" stored inside the PCM and allow a new "Adaptive Memory" to be developed.

After performing this procedure the PCM will re-learn and store into Adaptive Memory your engines performance characteristics.

Please perform these steps exactly as they are written, in the order they are written. This will cause the adaptive memory in the PCM to be erased and cause the PCM to go into Fast Learn Mode adaptive mode.

Disconnect the POSITIVE battery Terminal and touch it to ground ( not the battery negative terminal ) for 30 seconds. The engine block or the A/C compressor pump will work as a ground. (This is to discharge the PCM capacitors, which maintain the Adaptive Memory.

Reconnect the Battery Cable

Turn Ignition Switch to the "On" position but DO NOT start the engine

Turn Headlight "On"

Turn Headlights "Off"

Turn Ignition Key "Off"

The PCM Adaptive memory has now been flashed, or erased from the PCM.

When you start the engine it will be running off a set of pre-programmed tables that come with the PCM from the factory.

When you get the engine up to operating temperature the PCM will start to collect data for the "Adaptive Memory".

The PCM will collect data for Adaptive Memory for the first 50 Warm-up Cycles.

Answer 2

There are two ways you can reset the ECU. You can disconnect the positive battery cable for a few minutes or you can pull the ECU fuse for a few minutes.
