That is a way of doing it, your friendly neighbourhood dealer can do it.
There is another way to do it on the MRT site
that will not upset your radio code!!

Hello,

I tried the ECU Reset as reccomended by MRT yesterday and found that where they say u need to start the engine and drive for about a minute and then the check engine light should start to flash my check light starts to flash after only a couple of seconds of driving. Does this mean theres something not quite right or is it just resetting quicker than expected?

As far as performance goes i am taking it easy at the moment to allow it time to re-adjust but it does seem to make more boost lower down than before.

Any ideas appreciated

Sam
