It works for me. Thank you so much. After putting everything back.I drove it for a minute and all warning signs are gone.

Keyless entry receiver stopped working on Tahoe and my hair was beginning to fall out until I did what you said and it solved problem. Tahoe was going into sleep mode and stopped listening for remote signal. Thankyou, sooo much unfortunately, hair still falling out for other reasons. Great video!.

Thank you for posting! This saved me a trip to the dealer to clear a fault code. Best description of this process I’ve seen on here. I recently changed out the coil packs and plugs on my e92 335i. I tried to reset the “service engine soon” light using several scanners but none of them could clear it or even see the fault code (presumably because it is now fixed). This fixed my only remaining problem, no more “service engine soon” light now. Only thing I might add is when hooking things back up to hook the positive up first. I’ve heard these cars are sensitive to that and it might cause a lot of other issues if the negative is hooked up first.

My k&n filTer felt off the pipe and my 18 taco threw an engine check code. I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly.Thank you!!!!

It worked well. The radio and while making a Bluetooth call, they both would shut off for a few seconds and then come back on over and over, and I would lose power steering sometimes too. The check engine light came on and that's when I had Auto Zone give me a diagnostic trouble code, and it was showing the power train system, and ABS. Sure enough though, and the attendant tried to sell me a power train system for $456.90, but she made the mistake of saying that the codes just needed to be reset and that when I found this, and two other videos telling me to do this. Thank you very much!

Thanks from Yukon, Canada, for doing this and your time budd...

Thank you SO MUCH my car would not start after running into some water-But now it starts and runs

The ECU packed in on my 1.7tdci zafira .Total nightmare .Got all parts from a donor car .Clocks .ignition and transponder .fuse boxes .Was a waste of time .Rear fuse box in energy model is different from my elite model .The ECU on it's own from the donor car never worked .has to be blank and reset .Finally got there with an ECU from ECUs to go in Redcar .Great result .Fixed now thank god .

2014 RAM 1500 5.7 hemi - Worked Perfectly! Thank you

Love the video...very informative, the Toretto's body had me laughing for a good minute😂😂

Didn't see the dash lights BEFORE this procedure was done. Surely this would have been a good idea to show us a successful outcome.

Thank you share that information I'm grateful for it and I'm going to try it on my Nissan and no 300ZX I clean the throttle body that really cleaned it good and I forgot to do that and I'm going to try something thank you for sharing your knowledge

Thanks friend very useful information very much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏🙏

We followed your instructions exactly and our 2017 Subaru outback reset perfectly. Thank you so much for your time on doing this video. We sure appreciate it!

I am about to try however your tips and tricks seems great. Thank you.

Excellent advice I also turn on the head lamps while the battery terminals are off, it drains all energy and you get a full factory reset, excellent video!

Great hack. Technical name is battery reset. So cool you use the jumper cable. Normally I do it with a long extension.

Thank for showing the procedures, very helpful video.

Great video! Thanks. Ignore the know it alls. They're experts on everything without ever doing anything.

Thank you so much bro I’m impressed 😆😆keep the videos coming, great content....

Hey bro, thanks for sharing it is great to see someone going through every step including safety tips, your awesome man, drive safe😃

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE God bless you. 🤝

Yes, that's right. When I upgraded LED light bulbs it might mess up the ECU as my dass board light sometimes come on and off, also the ignition. By chance I disconnect the battery and leaves it for about 10 minutes then reconnect it. I replaced all the light bulbs back from original. Wow, everything working as it used to be. The only thing in the video, I'd like to mention that : When disconnecting the cables from the old battery, disconnect the negative first, then the positive. Connect the new battery in the reverse order, positive then negative. Many thanks for your video.

I was involved in an electronics sector for 10yrs or so. And I learned that DC Grounds are in pivotal position in circuitry and I developed a habit that I always disconnect a positive side before a negative side so that there would be no floating voltages around components which might kill components on PC boards. Just words from my experience.

Worked perfectly thanks.

God bless you! After disconnecting the battery I had a lot of electrical errors. The mechanics were telling me that I had to replace the components. Whit your advise I managed to delete all of them and I checked with vcds on the Passat B6 and they are disappeared. Thank you a lot !

Liked and subbed. That 'Toronto Body' was definitely the issue in my car. 😄

Excellent information 👍

I like Scottie Kilmer method of putting a resistor in the jumper cables chain to prevent any sparking from a sudden discharge.

Awesome tips bro.. Suddenly my car got JUICER

Great job very thrall keep up the great work.

Thanks. It worked very well on my car after a few repairs. Great video.

La demontarea bornelor bateriei: 1. Se demonteaza NEGATIVUL ! 2. Apoi pozitivul. La montare: 1.Se monteaza POZITIVUL ! 2. Apoi Negativul. Astfel vei evita un scurtcircuit facut cu sculele si eventuale alte accidente inclusiv o explozie ! Take care my friend !👍

Hey thanks for information it was a good deal on how I'm going reset my ECM or ECU and again Thank.

My friend thanks for this video, it provides me good information, just today I did clean my car’s throttle body following your instructions and surprisingly it working so far. ❤❤❤❤

Thank, today I had the problem with 2017 Nissan Sentra Sr turbo and is fixed now. Thank big help

Thank you so very much. I have a check engine light that is bothering me even after I have cleaned the throttle body. I will now try you tip.

Thanks for the info man.

Thank you for this tutorial sir, you just saved me at least 300$ for reprogramming the PCM, I know the video is about ECU, but this also worked ( at least for me) to reprogram the PCM ( my engine light was on )

very good video with simple effective instructions ! God Bless

This really will reset your car to factory settings!!! Did it on my 2019 Camaro.

Thank you! Very informative! God bless brother!

THANK YOU! INFO' REALLY HELP'...

Thanks for sharing, I will try this tomorrow morning 👍

I agree hundred percent? Negative first then positive? And connect positive first then negative

Than you so much. My car couldn’t start after fixing water pipes and hoses and oil cooler.❤

Good Job! Thank you!

Cleaned throttle body butterfly and bore yesterday, then disconnected the battery reading 12.80V (= good). With a voltmeter attached to the disconnected positive and negative cables this left a residual voltage of 1.23V. After 45 minutes this had dropped to 0.14V. After 12 hours residual voltage had dropped to 0.00V. Then reconnected the battery. Started the car now purring nicely at idle.

yes this works and remember -- if YOU have a remote starter, you will loose ability to use the remote starter if you live in a Northern climate and have one of these on your vehicle. The remote will need to be reprogramed to your car at the place you bought the darn remote starter. Mine cost me $25.00 to get this done. And it happened before when I had to replace battery a couple years ago... I guess, this is ONE fact the remote starter place does NOT tell you... so beware, when YOU disconnect battery for a few minutes as described in this video -- you will need to shell out another $25.00 to get the remote starter working again too... dang it... Stay warm my friend.... stay warm.....

Interesting video! one little tip always when disconnecting the battery ,take off negative terminal first and when reconnecting the put on the negative terminal on last to avoid short circuits also removing the positive first can possably cause more of a spark and you do not want sparks near a gassing battery (hydrogen gas!) I'm looking forward to more vids cheers

So Goods Thank you verry much / Fc.From Thailand.

Tarattle body this guy is great had me cracking up every time he said it.😂😂

That's good info. IDK, sounds as if circuit has capacitors. Thanks.

Its a useful way. Thanks for shearing.

Thank you, going to try this!

Thanks! Good info to reset the computer on cars

You should always remove the NEGATIVE side first then the POSITIVE. Replace the POSITIVE side first then finally replace the NEGATIVE last.

Thank A lot you help me

i love your presentation i hope it will workfor my nissan sentra

[thank, you for you're helpful video]👍

Thanks for the info. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you brother..!! 👍🏻😇

This really work man👍

Thanks it worked💪🏾

Amigo ,always remove negative terminal first,if you accidently let your spanner touch earth..the whole body of the car, while removing positive side first you may end up with no ECU.

Thanks for the great video.. Always learning.. I have a vauxhall vivaro 2012 2.0 cdti, unfortunately error code DF067 injection multiplexed emission missing, and ecu no communication.. I have checked the midle connection to ecu, and I noticed that I do not have 12V on the wire T2 PIN 4Q of to connect to ecu.. Can be that the problem with my van? Thanks

Thank you for the information.

But was a good information thank you God bless you

Well, it will work with many cars older than 2012 models. But, many of the late models, say from 2014 models . Also , if the malfunctions are not corrected , the codes and the malfunction lights are going to come back.

You can use the other "positive cable" as well. Doesnt have to be the "Negative cable" So it doent matter which cable you are using as longs as its just the cable.

Thanks homie! God bless

Am happy to see you again

Make sure you have the radio code if your radio uses one, and disconnect the NEGATIVE cable first

Will this work on a car with the reduced power light on?

This worked on my Polaris RZR! :)

Thank for these and hope it will work on Lexus RX 300

Great idea; however, seriously consider one crucial modification. Although I am not a general electrician, I did earn the certificate. That stated, connecting the positive and negative cables together drains downstream capacitors in the various circuits; however, it also short-circuits them as well, short-circuiting that can possibly damage delicate ECU circuit components. Therefore, I would recommend using a capacitor discharge tool like the one described in an IFIXIT article, “Constructing a Capacitor Discharge Tool,” by Andrew Bookholt. Years-ago, I created such a tool, adding alligator clips for convenience as well. Finally, for safety sake, when reconnecting the battery of a negatively-grounded vehicle, start and finish connecting the positive cable, ending by placing the battery terminal protection cover on the positive post. The last thing one wants to do is wrench-around the positive terminal while a battery cable is connected to the negative terminal. If one’s wrench should accidently come in contact with the frame, sparks will fly. For a negatively-grounded vehicle, that is why one always disconnects the negative cable first and then the positive and reconnects the positive cable first (completely) and then the negative. When jumping a negative-ground vehicle, connect the negative jumper cable to the frame, not the negative battery post, avoiding the consequences of a possible battery explosion. In any case, always wear adequate eye protection.

There’s a measurable potential between the positive and negative cables when disconnected from the battery. I use a very thin copper wire wrapped several 100s of times around a pencil to create a “resistor”. Then connect one end to positive and the other end to negative. The connected voltmeter then shows a decreasing voltage. When voltage goes to zero the ECU is reset without damage.

Great video

i love the sound of your voice

Hi if you don't have the jump leads how much time would it take for the voltage in the system to dissipate (without using the jump leads) before reconnecting the battery leads? Thanks

well explained

Great video!

Thanks for your help today

@lover of engines , the brother how you doing ? I want to ask you if you do the same process you do to your car in a 2010 Acura MDX it will work? And if you had any previous computer updates it will erase the updates or it will not affect those ecu updates ? Thank you

How often do we need to do this resetting the ECM computer? Everytime we cleaned the maf sensor or throttle body or at least once a year? Thanks for the video. Is there any symptoms so we can reset the computer?

THanks for sharing !!

Thank you so much I can understand you

A lot of useful info

Great video, very helpful. Thank you. I have a quick question: my honda civic 2012 EX only charges when the headlights are ON. If I'm driving with my headlights OFF, it will drain my battery gradually. My battery and alternator are tested and they are good. You think resetting the ECU would help?

The EEPROM is there for such a noble try clearing all modules. You can only do so much especially 4th and 5th generation security modules.

Excellent!

Thanks for the infomation

You should always connect the positive cable first to avoid sparks

I just saw another video on KZfaq and it suggested a simpler method of simply taking out the ecu fuse , then replacing straight away? Would that work , although maybe best to wait 30 mins before replacing to give time for caps to discharge! Is this going to work ? Certainly easier than disconnecting the battery! 😊

I have a 2007 Nissan Altima, will the procedure work on mine? And are the negative terminal cables necessary?

Hi great video. If I reset the icu will my tire sensors have to be added again?

thanks

Thank you for that information 🙏

My 2016 honda oddyssey i removed the negative terminal monday and put it back Thursday so its 3days. Is that ok in your personal opinion that long is fine?
