    1. With accelerator pedal fully released turn ignition switch "ON" and wait 3 seconds.
    2. Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal 5 times (HARD) - within 5 seconds
    3. Wait 7 seconds and 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.

      @@Damone7653 to the best of my knowledge it would depend on why you’re trying to reset it. The car seems to retain “serious codes” even after leaving the battery disconnected for a bit. Putting this in non technical terms - this reset is like restoring your iPhone to factory settings - it’s reset to an “out of the box” condition. This process doesn’t cause you to lose your tune though (if you have an aftermarket tune). I use this to reset my cars AFR learning now and then

      - MrRIchBiker Probably not actually. When some CELs are triggered they put the engine in limp mode to protect it. This usually causes poor fuel economy and or poor performance. Resetting CELs can temporarily take the vehicle out of limp mode until the CEL is triggered again.

    Henry my 09 was doing the same thing. Check the oil pressure with a manual pressure gauge so you can know if in fact you do have low oil pressure. I had low oil pressure and did an oil change with mobile1 10-40 and my pressure came back up. It could be the gaskets in the rear timing cover but for now this helped.

  • @SolaraUser
    @SolaraUser  Před 10 lety +2

    yup, i agree. Disconnecting the battery is quicker. But when i was on long trip - my brake pads were worn and this resulted that everytime during heavy accelerating or braking the "brake" indicator lights up (due to low brake fluid level caused by thin brake pads). When this indicator lights up for more than few seconds the service engine indicator is on and traction controll is off. So in this case and on the road it is quite easy and fast way to reset ecu :)

    I think I’ve watched this video 100 times in the last 3 years I’ve owned my G37S. Not sure if I could do the reset without watching it at the same time LOL. And to all the people saying pull the fuse or disconnect battery, then you have to reset all your radio presets and maintenance info. It certainly makes a difference since I have a full header back exhaust and I takes but once the ECU learns I’m back to being slow again. I just need to get a tune eventually. Oh well.
