I can answer my own question... If you experience this too, manually shift the transmission for a few times when you think it should be in a lower gear. The transmission will reprogram in just a couple of times and soon you'll realize that you don't have to pull it down anymore. Learned this while driving over the mountains in Pennsylvania on US30 headed east out of Breezewood. If you think your car handles and accelerates well, US30 a good road to try it out. Don't be surprised if you warp your brake rotors from overheat. :-)
"subura forester" does not need to be reset after changing the battery. The ECU will adjust itself to optimum settings over a day or two of driving. If your issue is something other than this, please ask a more specific question.
The button is just to the left of the steering column at the lowest point of the dash. It points straight down. --Ken
Resetting the ECM on a 1999 Subaru Forester requires the car to be off. Disconnect the negative battery terminal for t seconds and reconnect it. The computer will now be reset.
Two ways come to mind. First is that you take it to an auto parts store, like Auto Zone, that will read the codes for free. Once they read the code they can reset it. Second is to take a battery terminal off for oh, 15 or 20 minutes. The computer will reset, but so will the radio presets. You may notice is your Forester driving differently for a few miles while the computer resets itself. Good luck! Ken
With the proper scan tool.

Yes. If you are impatient, you can reset it by disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes or longer then reconnecting it. You will also lose the presets on your radio. --Ken
If you're not happy with one of the upgrades, you could reset the skill points so you can reallocate them a different way.
If you mean the light it should reset itself while driving
no they are reset to zero
Not necessary. The computer will reset itself after a few driving cycles.
The factory pre-programmed data contained in the memory chip cannot be changed. If you are referring to the computers "learned" set points, as determined by your driving habits (shift points, etc) - you can "re-program" that function by removing the battery cables for a few minutes, and then replacing them. It may take several dozens of miles for the on-board computer to re-learn your driving habits.
