Can i reset it myself or is it a garage job.

I have been recommended to do so as my 99 Turbo has been run on UL for as long as i know, ive had it six weeks and the previous owner from new i think used UL also im now going to change to Optimax.

easy way?

Take the battery terminals off for a few hours. Re-connect, start up to running temps without hitting trottle, turn off, and then ecu is re-set.

You can attatch the plugs under the dash for fault codes but I can never remember which on went where!!!

Someone will tell you when it gets moved to General Tech. Even better, use the search option provided!! ;) :D

The proper way, also means you don't need the radio code, risk upseting the alarm system and includes a lot of self checking diagnostics!

Look at www.mrtrally.com.au use the search for 'ecu reset' print it out and 'follow the bouncing ball.

cheers

Steve.

I thought a "99" could adjust itself to a different grade of fuel fairly quickly, unlike the older models which would require a reset.

just done mine on my my96

did the total reset..

interesting thing though when i connected up and turned on,

the cel flashed on off on off etc but the fuel pump was also energising, and the engine fan also... started up and all ok

anyway started the car and backed off the drive and lo

the cel starts cycling to say test complete...

i ran it until warm anyway and disconnected...

then just connected up the cel diagnostic plug..

result no code other than ok ie on off on off etc

now i know what to do, i will wait for the nostart event to happen and then poll the codes..
