Resetting ECU

[G-unit]

ok replaced a few things in car 2 get it boosting proply and even replaced new filter(91 RS 8psi), now i have been told i should have reset ecu, thing is i cant find the plugs under the dash as i have crossover under there and alot of other wires,

so is there another way of reseting ecu without plugn them in and taking it for a 11min drive over 11kmh like ive herd 2 do

hoping this is all i need 2 do so i can be happy boosting again with passangers

thanks

It's not 100% but you could try disconnecting the Neg battery terminal, it will get rid if check engine light.

check engine never come on before

I accidently reset my ECU by unplugging it for 5 mins. Should be easy enough to reach on yours. If not just unplug the battery terminal for an hour

is that both terminals for 1hour? myt do it 2nyt when get home from tea, but then ill have no alarm

guy at sublab said to just disconnect the batt over night

myth is also to pump brake pedal (draws any residual energy out of system)

I have a feeling this was disproven thou, cant hurt to try, disconnect overnight/as long as you can?

ive herd 24hrs but buger that i gota drive 2 work on tuesday, will disconect 2nyt and redo 2moro if i need 2 go anywhere

Just disconnect it for them time it takes for you to sit down on the toilet.

The plugs are hidden up above the steering column. I had a bitch of a time finding mine when I needed them a couple of years back!!

They could be wrapped along with other wiring, as i found with my first RS.

Take ECU out/leave battery off overnight.. that'll be enough to wipe it clean

I personally disconnected the negative battery terminal and just pumped the brakes a few times (what this does is drains any remaining power left in the circuit, your ECU memory is similar to RAM on a computer, if you turn the computer off completely any memory on the RAM will be cleared thus the same with your ECU) though I left the battery disconnected overnight till I needed to use the car the next day just to be safe.

Note that this only works on models pre 2000-ish.
