How to reset your ECU in less than 1 minute 

Out of all the videos I have watched over the years and recently about how to turn off a check engine light, this is the first one that has shown this method. Great information 😎👍

Dude, you rock. This right here is the difference between your knowledge and wisdom. I'm compiling a list of useful car knowledge, and this is going in it.

It worked for me 2014 ES 350. Had it read at Autozone it was a Gas Gap Code. Checked cap and it was off (kids helped pump gas and didn't screw the cap in). After over 100 miles light didn't reset. Tried the ECU fuse as explained on the video and it worked.

Thank you I was trying to find the key sequence to reset the ECU in a Subaru for example my 2014 Dodge Avenger if you want to reset the ECU you could just turn the key to the on position and pump the gas 7 times but nobody seemed to know it so this idea is 100x better than disconnecting the battery and pumping the brakes

WOW ! Why didn't I know that; amazingly easy and avoids other problems; THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!! You are a life saver, and this sure beats undoing the battery terminals.

You Sir, are a life saver. It was fast and easy. Thanks!!!°

😆 I just came back into the house to wait out the 15 mins after joining my positive and negative battery cables together based on another RU-vid video. And then I run across your video.

Thank you very very much it worked perfect for my car honda frv. I made it the old school I took the whole plug of the battery left it for 10 min and then pluged it in.. tara! Many thanks again.

7-years later and this morning the dreaded dash light came on, initially YTube vids disconnect battery cables but watched your vid for short cut fix it. Now I need to DIY to see if I get your results👍

Hey, just want to say thank you for this video. It works on my civic with the E-MID blank screen problem. This method is much faster and safer than to unplug the battery.

This video saved me hundreds of bucks. Great help! Thanks!

thanks for the perfectly clear instructions

My car has four ecu fuses. I pulled them all. Super easy. Thanks.!

Hey thanks for the video. Changed my life.

OMG This was so helpful. I hate take the cables off the battery. Thank you. 🤗

You are a genius! Thank you!!!

Awesome it worked on my van. And i didn't have to disconnect battery which would make my pass lock security system activate and wont let the ignition circuit work unless i do some reset procedures that take time ......👍

Thank you dude that was real simple I like that God bless you

Brilliant . Disconnecting battery terminal can upset folding mirror function and window shutting .

Thanks a lot. I tried different thing but this method worked instantly 🙏🏼

Best method, so much better than taking batt cbl off. My radio has about 40 settings that are lost at battery change etc. On my Ranger I killed the pwr to the PCM memory and drained it by putting a load on it at the fuse box. (an analog meter, then let the needle fall to 0). Still have intermittent flooding at start after replacing fuel injectors. So if anybody has suggestion I'm listening. Other than smelling gas at warm start sometimes it runs great and the trans shift points are smooth as glass now.

😁I had recently purchased a 2018 Ford Escape that was getting poor mileage because it had been "living" at sea level and it now lives in Denver, CO which is 5400 above sea level. I took your advice, plus I also pulled all other fuses connected with with the engine or transmission. Mileage went from 22.5 to 27.2 immediately. Thanks! Jim in Denver

Great advice thank-you.

Thank you so much my friend.This light on my Instrument panel stays on all the time. I will try having a go at this easy fix. This will save me a lot of money.You are very Helpful my Friend. Jonathan and Audi A3 owner.

You are a life saver! Thank you!

Great advice thank you

Great, I have done your method and held good result. thanks a lot

a good idea ... thanks for taking the time to make this 👍

Thank you for the info. I love the background music.

Dude u helped me get this fixed thanks man

Thanks worked for me!👏👏

Short, helpful and clear, thanks!

It worked! Thank you!

I haven't tried it yet, but it makes a whole lot of sense to just reset the ECU fuse only.

Thank you sir for the video!

Thank you for this video I did what you told ~~ Engine light was reset and gone great and helpful information 👍👍👍👍👍👍👋👋👋👋👋

Thank you Sir. I will try this tomorrow

After replacing fuel pump, maf sensor, map sensor spark plugs ,spark plug wires, catylic converter,throttle body , lower intake gasket,manifold gasket ,vent solenoid,purge canister,and maf sensor for the second time to redo everything po172 and po171 kept comin on till I came to a mechanic that had asked me if I’ve rest the ecm. Come to find out he was gonna charge me 40$ to check it and another 120 to reset it on his scanner which I already paid in the past..This video reminded me of the hassle I went through until I pulled the damn ecm fuses out and disconnected the battery which now has my ecm reset so that it can compensate correctly and now my engine is A1 and no engine light has come on yet….2008 impala flex fuel headache car 🤕……yes I replace everything on that car….always use ac delco or original manufacture not no bull crap brand learned the hard way on that too

How about the capacitors on the computer itself?

Omg it actually worked thanks so much is subbed and liked

Thanks a lot!

It works like a charm, mechanics can take control over your car and keep your car running bad in order to get more money out of you. The mechanics can keep you coming back for repairs with their scanners and they can use the scanner to keep your car running bad

Thanks alot you helped me very much with this Information 👌

Nicely explained

I try this night,omg..is working!tq very mush 4 yours advise.i am from Malaysia..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This worked for my 07 Cadillac CTS

thankss so muchh!!! it workedd!! i think i made the light come on because i pulled the 02 heater fuse by mistake and then started the car.... and then i almost had a heartattack when the light wouldnt go off after i put the fuse backs i actually meant to pull out the compressor fuse cos my blower motor is fried and i didnt want someone to turn on the AC and ice up the lines or something... anyway... light is off. engine sounds fine... hopefully everythings good :)

When reprogramming a new BCM to disable the Anti theft make sure ALL fuses are installed and working. It is setup to need to communicate with certain parts of the car and without all fuses present (even RDO funny enough) it won't work. This happened to me until I found the info on a forum.

Thank you, great idea

Merci pour ces infos. Seb of France :)

Thank you for the clear instructions

Thank you this worked!!!

sir, thank you for this advice.

Crap! I woulda never thought about that! Lol! Thanks bud!

Best one on the internet.

Thanks alot for your shows your very good man 👍👍💋

Thank you

It solved my Honda Odyssey van’s problem of lights not operating properly.

IF your car has a problem the light is going to come back on again before long, do yourself a favor and buy an inexpensive code scanner (about $40) and you can read all the codes and fix the problem the right way, or if you just want to turn the light off it will do that too without popping the hood

Thank you broo

Thanks man

Wow thank you 👍🙏

Thank you so much sir

Thanks bro

Thank you to try it on my Honda Accord

Wow too easy! Tks

I need a beer.

You're videos are helping my troubleshoot my Civics idle surge. D16y8 SOHC manual ,(so there's NO fast idle valve). New IACV, plugs, wires, coolant burped, TPS calibrated, map sensor working. Yet it's still surging. It also is idling high (2,000rpm). Vacuum leak? When I plug the throttle body with my hand, it does NOT stall. This suggests a vacuum leak, correct?

The music made mine work. Even put the baby to sleep for the real win.

Bloody brilliant…..

Thanks buddy!

How we can reset on accord 2013. Please tell me.

Best Method im seen🏆🎉🎁

Tank you ro information. Its à master

Top video mate

Thank you!

thx that was cool

And it does nothing on my bucket. Any suggestions?

Hahaha i love it From 🇹🇭

Thanks for the tip, however, shouldn't you leave the fuse(s) out for about a half an hour?

Thanks 👏

Just replaced a wastegate actuator solenoid on my 1.5T SI. I’ve got the Christmas tree curse now 🙄 Has this trick shown to resolve such an issue? Will follow up w/ edit..

Would probably be worthwhile to mention that most import vehicles have more than one ECU or PCM fuse so some vehicles it may not be as simple as just finding Mr ECU and pulling him out

open the huud

Thanks I will try it I change my gas cap light went off but then came back on so I tried the battery trick I drove it a few miles and then I'll I came back on this is a real pain in the neck

Does it work same for 2002 Acura rsx type s

Hi brother I have a 2016 Nissan Sentra the check engine light come on it’s says mass airflow sensor and I replace it 4 time in one week is still the check engine on what do you recommend to do thank you

Does this help with replacing an ignition cylinder

Is this the same as throttle body reset? 😬

Thank you, bro. It worked like a charm On my tacoma truck. God bless you and happy new year ^ ^

Dam that was practical

Will this work on a Kia 2007 Sorento, my car has trouble starting up sometimes.

One more time Thanks ❤

Question Would it pass emission test I ones reset my car by disconnecting the negative then I took it over to the emission testing and they would not pass it because they said that they could see that it’s been computer clearness

very good

Will this method help to get my O2 sensor ready? I keep getting Not Ready O2 sensor.

can you tell me how I can Remove the check engine light at my Lexus Ls400 1998....

On my car (1997 Saturn SC2) it says PCM (Powertrain Control Module). There are two. One says Powertrain Control Module and the other says Powertrain Control Module Memory. Do I just remove the first one?

Does it work when u remove the cats and put the o2 sensor back in
