Hi,
I have been looking underneath my steering wheel for the fabled ECU connectors. All I can see is a black T-shaped plug and another black socket. The plug has a black wire with a thin red stripe and the socket a black and red wire. Are these the connectors ? I didnt want to risk connecting them...

 

There should also be a set of green connectors usually they are taped up.

Make sure when do the reset that car is at operating temp ie warmed up.

Connect the connectors black-black green-green.
Turn on ignition but do not start car yet.
Hold down acclerator for a few secs.
Then start car and drive for at least a minute keeping speed above 11mph at all times.
stop car check engine light should be flashing at a steady rate of half a second.

Turn car off and disconnect the connectors.
Ecu is now reset.

Mel,
What if I want to check for fault codes ?
Does the engine have to be warm then ?
I guess I would do a reset after looking at the fault codes

 

Those Black ones are the Read Memory Connectors - The Green ones are the Test Mode (ECU Reset Ones)

Check my home page for full details on reading fault codes & ecu reset.
