Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior ECU Reset

Which fuse do I pull to reset the ECU?

I hate to disconnect the battery terminal because the stereo takes so long to set up again.

Just pull the damn thang!

Its SO much easier just to pull the fuse & replace it. The stereo takes about a half hour to setup again.

Anybody?

yeah its a lot easier to pull the fuses...if you look on your passenger side of the center console and take of the little vent near the feet, you will see like 4 fuses lined up and down i believe 2 of them are like 7.5 amps...anyways they are the only ones that lined up and down and they are near the top of the fuse box. But you really dont want to break them, they are not your normal fuse (they are longer and have 4 metal ends i beilieve) and they cost around $16 each at the dealer!!

forgot to add pull all 4 fuses or the ecu wont reset

Yah, I pulled the 4 fuses (2x 5A & 2x 7A) that have 4 prongs each on them. They were tough to pull out. I left them on the floor & was cleaning the garage for about 20 minutes & then put them back in. No effect, the ECU was not reset.

so you think it worked? id like to just pull the fuses too, but looks like im gonna have to go the battery route.

yeah it sucks having to reset the stereo and everything, but it's really the surest way to do it...

These are the fuses I pulled. The ECU did not reset.

I pulled out these three and the ecu was reseted. Well at least the check light went away for good.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

let us know what happends. good luck.

just pull out the 15amp in the circle.

that's the ECU fuse

It worked, thank you. If you pull the 15A fuse for 1 second, it resets the ECU successfully.

thanks doo. dont get any simpler than that.

off the topic but as lonbg as we have the pics going..which one is your lighter fuse??

You got me. Someone has looked at the manual & could probably tell you.

Do you mean cig. lighter???
That's in the fusebox @ passenger side
---> Cig. Lighter (35)
---> Pwr. door locks (31)

If you're plannig to tap any mod... cig. lighter only works in ACC Door locks works w/no key...

I had a tough time correlating those numbers back to the fuse panel.
