RedM Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 It's always best to rest the ECU. Nowadays I even do it after changing my underwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonv Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 How often is that ? How do you reset the ECU and is this something that the experts need to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 you just dissconnect the bat for 2 mins or take out the bottom 3 fuses from the engine bay box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 you just dissconnect the bat for 2 mins or take out the bottom 3 fuses from the engine bay box ..and all your radio settings. Find the correct fuses and unplug, it's much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Remove the EFI #1 fuse for about 30 secs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Remove the EFI #1 fuse for about 30 secs. I wasn't going to spoon feed...but then upon a search of the FAQ section, I didn't find either ECU or Fuse in any of the titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 ..and all your radio settings. Find the correct fuses and unplug, it's much easier. I couldnt remember which one it was, so went for the easy option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookci Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 i dont suppose iridium plugs makes any different waiting for my bits and pieces to set up the cold air feed intake system anyhow and getting decat so I leave mind till then to reset the standard system is cold air fed isn't it?!

cookci Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 reset the ecu but havent notice a massive difference with the decats... maybe the ECU needs time to adjust? the electric fan made the biggest difference so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 yes def reset after a de-cat. Mine didn't run right until I did and then wow what a difference! it took a few runs after the reset before it was really running well. As mentioned, it's worth reseting after any changes to the engine operating conditions, so the ecu and relearn new settings from a fresh start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont bother with a cold air feed either, Toyota are clever chaps and the stock air box does just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkTheBoy Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Does taking (and leaving) the negative off the battery perform an ecu reset? I assume it does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Does taking (and leaving) the negative off the battery perform an ecu reset? I assume it does? Yep. I always tend to leave mine off for about 10 minutes or so to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
