Um, that means the ECU has reseted mate and whatever codes you were looking for is lost forever. What you should've done is connect the black plugs.

The_Max STi

Thanks..

But now iv disconected both plugs and the light is still flashing... What now!!!!

Katana

Uh oh. Now i'm stumped.

Try resetting it again. If that doesn't work disconnect your battery overnight.

Does anyone have the right procedure to folow as im sure i did not do it the right way.. Just pluged the to together then unpluged them...

Thanks Rob

Katana

Plug them together, press and depress the accellerator without starting the engine a few times and then take it for a run till the lights flashes. Then disconnect them.

The_Max STi

Sorry one more question should i disconect them when the engine is running or not????

Thanks..

Katana

I normally disconnect them when they're off for safety reason. My feet are normally above the headrest while I fiddle with the plugs.

The_Max STi

Ok..

Well iv connected the plugs.. Switched on but not started. Pressed Gas a few times.. Started.. Light stays out.. just before i start to pull off the engine check light starts to flash but have driven a few miles normal driving.. Switched off disconnected and the damm light is still flashing away.. Even tryied giving it some stick and the light just keeps flashing..

HELP bloody thing is bugging me now...

Thanks for all the help so far..

Katana

Uh oh, I'm stuck now. Disconect the battery overnight and hope for the best.

Katana

Any updates?

The_Max STi

Have not disconnected the battery.. But tried the Plugs again..

Just dont understand why it wont work... Its not like the light is allways on so its not serious (well hope not)

Is there a guide that i can print off so i make sure i do it dot by dot if you know what i mean.

Thanks for all your help..

Check out my home page(see profile) has ECU reset procedure & error codes.

Once you've ensured the reset is OK - if you still getting an error code - tell us what the code is & I'll do my best to help.
