Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior resert ecu?

I read that after i install the TRD exhaust, i should reset the ECU.

Why is that??

it'll just recheck everything to make sure everything is ok...it will aslo reset some settings accordingly if they need to be.

just unplug your negative battery terminal for about 10 mins and then put it back on

hey also if you install and CAI would you wanna reset your ECU as well?

^^ i think they tell you that you're supposed to. but in any case, it couldn't hurt.

ooh okie dokie im a newbie to CAI's hehe i ask to make sure cause i dont wany my baby celi to screw up on me now

just to let you know...resetting your ecu does abolutely nothing harmful to your car.

if you WANTED to, you could reset your ecu every day (although pointless--just making a point that you could)...of course you'd have to reset your clock and your radio presetts back every time though

Yes, it does nothing harmful...but I swear I feel a loss in power for at least the first day... It is rediculous.

I've read somewhere on the site that removing the EFI fuses in the fuseblock close to the drivers strut tower will reset the ECU without having to reset the radio preset or clock.

^^ hmmm, that's interesting. i wonder if anyone could verify?

either way it seems like the same amount of work...unplugging the negative terminal takes all of 10 seconds.
