Resetting ECU -19 16V Ph2 (F7P)

[Putput]

Does anyone know how to quickly reset the ECU. (19 16V Ph2 F7P)

This is actually related to my starting problem, just in case I need some road side tricks to get me out of trouble next time it happens.

Would disconnecting the positive battery lead for 5 sec be enough?

Thanks, P.

disconnecting the battery or the ecu connector for 15-20 secs should do it..

the ecu connector can be disconnected without any tools at hand

Thanks Hooverphonic. Perfect. P.

that won't do it, its old but its not archaic.

Easiest and quickest way to reset everything is loosen earth/pos lead then touch it to the other lead, this will discharge all the capacitors on the car, handy to get dodgy trip comps working again as well.

Thanks Chris H. Was wondering about doing that. P.

maybe it does, maybe not.. it has been working for me on several occasions..

Thanks both. Is there any easy way to tell if the reset was successful??

Thanks, P.

you should be able to tell when your driving it, it will be relearning the cycles etc
