This very simple procedure will Erase the "Adaptive Memory" stored inside the PCM and allow a new "Adaptive Memory" to be developed.
After performing this procedure the PCM will re-learn and store into Adaptive Memory your engines performance characteristics.
Please perform these steps exactly as they are written, in the order they are written. This will cause the adaptive memory in the PCM to be erased and cause the PCM to go into Fast Learn Mode adaptive mode.
Disconnect the POSITIVE battery Terminal and touch it to ground ( not the battery negative terminal ) for 30 seconds. The engine block or the A/C compressor pump will work as a ground. (This is to discharge the PCM capacitors, which maintain the Adaptive Memory.
Reconnect the Battery Cable
Turn Ignition Switch to the "On" position but DO NOT start the engine
Turn Headlight "On"
Turn Headlights "Off"
Turn Ignition Key "Off"
The PCM Adaptive memory has now been flashed, or erased from the PCM.
When you start the engine it will be running off a set of pre-programmed tables that come with the PCM from the factory.
When you get the engine up to operating temperature the PCM will start to collect data for the "Adaptive Memory".
The PCM will collect data for Adaptive Memory for the first 50 Warm-up Cycles.
You can reset the ecm with a scan tool or by unhooking the battery.
To reset the ECM remove the battery cable (s) for a few minutes. Replace cable. ECM has been reset.
Just unhook the battery cables for 5 mins, That will reset the ECM
ECM reset for 2002 merc couger
Disconnect the battery for five to 20 minutes. This will reset the ECM.
Unplug you battery for 20 to 25 minutes that should reset you computer.
To reset the ECM (Engine Control Module) on a 1989 Ford Festiva, you can disconnect the negative battery terminal and leave it disconnected for about 15 minutes. This will erase any stored trouble codes and reset the ECM. After reconnecting the battery, you may need to drive the vehicle for a short distance to allow the ECM to recalibrate. Additionally, make sure to check for any underlying issues that may have triggered the need for a reset.
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.
Disconnect the battery, keep it disconnected for five to 20 minutes, reconnect the battery.
To reset the ECM (Engine Control Module) in a 1996 Isuzu Rodeo, first disconnect the negative battery terminal and leave it disconnected for about 15 minutes. This allows the ECM to clear its memory. After that, reconnect the negative battery terminal and start the vehicle, which will allow the ECM to reinitialize. You may also want to drive the vehicle for a short period to help the ECM relearn optimal settings.
To reset the ECM (Engine Control Module) on a Freightliner Columbia, you can start by disconnecting the negative battery cable and leaving it disconnected for about 15 minutes. This will allow the ECM to reset. After reconnecting the cable, turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine for a few seconds, and then start the vehicle. This process clears any temporary codes and resets the system.
pull the ECM/PCM fuse for a few seonds then replace it. that should reset it
