lol disconnecting ur ECU wont cure ur car!

when u re-connect it it will still read the same faults cos u havent done anything to get rid of them

u can find out what the problems are with 2 ways:

take it to vaux

or

theirs a guide somewhere on how to get the codes from the ecu, then compare the codes with the list that tells u whats wrong, not sure where the list is tho

I think i will just leave it and keep my £30 for something else!

Thanks anyway guys

yeah but if u reset the ECU, the codes are still gonna be there coz the ECU will pick them up - better off taking it 2 vauxhall m8 :(

i have a 1.4 16v econtec engine...to reset the ecu i heard u disconnect the battery for at least 1 hour...then reconnect it, and start the car, making sure u dont touch the accelerator pedle for the 1st 10seconds....and it should cough and splutter and then smooth itself out...


but iv also heard that that only works for th vauxhall 8v engines. is this true?


cheers,
james:wave:

only thing for u 2 do now m8 is take it 2 vauxhall, but they will charge u 30 quid for looking at it :mad:

I think I have the same problem as kerzo - I have replaced bits and codes still there???

They need to be cleared electronically.

i have tried that as well,but when i plug it back in i still get the same 8 codes flashing at me :( cant seem to get rid of them

Just Unplug the ECU itself and leave it overnite. Its located behind the OS Kick Panel, theres just two plugs into it.
In the Morning Plug it back in and leave the car on idle for ten mins.

Am I right in thinking that the ECU can be reset without actually disconecting the battery?

The reason that I am asking is that I have a Toad AI606 alarm on the car and didnt want to risk buggering it up by cutting off the power.

Any help welcome.
