Mike,

Will very much depend on the Model year and how it was "Tuned" Remap or by piggyback chip

IIRC
before MY99 there are some cables under the dash to join up but can''t normally be EcuTek'd

After MY99 just disconnect battery 10 mins (ECU is self calibrating) but then starts from afresh

IMHO

'Tuned' is a meaningless euphamism.

Yes, but why do you want to reset it?? Decatted and Engine check light by any chance?

Agree with others, you will have to tell us what tune you have e.g. E**T*K.

If you have the equipment, I recommend before you do a reset to log any fault codes including your current IAM setting. All this you will lose when resetting, which gives you an indicitive health check.

If your determined to reset anyway, details below:

Mike

You can only reset the ECU via the OBD port under the steering wheel
