Raz s Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Cheers mate ill check that once the snow decides to b****r off I dont know to be fair, the diagnostic equipment i have doesn't recognise the car. but i think thats due to a dodgy cheap ebay lead.How would i go about resetting the ecu? Is it just a battery off job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickster Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Battery off or pull the ECU fuse for about an hour. Reconnect, start without touching the accelerator, run for 15 mins or until the fan kicks in, ignition off (with key in still), start again immediately and drive.Pretty sure that's it, there's a 'how too' on here somewhere.

Thanks to TontVTi for this info,,, 1"£££$££"!! ECU Reset,,,After much Googling about resetting the ECU a variety of answers come up. None which seem to fully apply to the MB6 as usual Some of the literature says that Honda ECU's have a fuse that says "back up" or a fuse that says "ECU" and you should remove these. The MB6 has both After trial and error today I got a good result from the below.After getting the car warm I shut her down and took out the "ECU fuse 15A" and the "Back Up fuse 7.5A"Left it 10minStarted the car and just left her idling, you're supposed to leave it till it settles down to a smooth idle, [i left it idling for 10min as the fan activates after a certain point and it gives a chance for the fuel trims to include this].Shut the car down and started it back up straight away. [This is supposed to save the new fuel trim settings].---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Right i was a bit skeptical about the results of doing this proberly the first time this has been done to my VTi since all the mods were done! (& since the mods it has been feeling slower getting flat spots etc etc,,,But i can not belive the difference it has made (almost unbelievable) i can't stress that enough!!! all my flat spots are gone, quicker acceleration, smoother all round, feels completely different in vtec (bit louder) like driving a different car! I'm in shock lol!!! I would recommend everyone to do this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
