Some say do it once a while good for ride, 're-learn' your driving style and better FC also... 1)disconnect negative (-) of your car battery 2)step on brake pedal for 2,3 mins or so 3)re-connect back negative terminal 4)go for 'spirited' drive for 15 mins or more

My method is different. I unplug my ECU1 & ECU2 fuse in the engine bay. Usually do this to cancel my CEL.
BTW, spirited driving = whack the engine to redline at every traffic light/corner. :x

Any idea when doing re-flash, does it 'reset' ur driving habits too?

Re-start and go for a drive.

HiHi bro LMF,

Wat are the benefits of resetting ECU?

reset ECU - Remove all stored engine data that it collected and revert back to stock default settings, start afresh in a sense, some hardcore drivers reset ECU when they change octanes, change to a after market air filter or muffler, change to different spark plugs etc, it 'stocks' your ride's ECU in a sense and re-learn your driving pattern, therefore reset liao try no to wack redline ( aka Bonzz ), just drive smooth and normal if you wish your ride to 'learn' for better FC, thats what i have gathered online...

Thank you LMF for your explanation. will reset ecu too many times have any bad effects? Or is it ok to reset many many times?

I wonder does it works if you are running a piggyback ecu..

Won't la. Its more for original ecu cos the perimeters wil change slightly overtime. Even if with piggyback, it wil revert to the piggy tuned base settings.

Bro Nakata6, I have heard that some stock ECU is a "smart ECU" even with piggy back, the ECU will learn and make the neccessary compensation base on the default pre-set parameter. Unless you re-set your ECU prior to piggy-back installation,then I think should be OK. Maybe a slight variation.

Some VS is installed in such away that it become part of the ECU circuit. Best bet is to remove the battery terminal.

The modern CPU's are adaptive/learning, so they will adjust to suite the operating conditions on a continuous basis, so no, resetting it would not help with your fuel consumption.
To reset the CPU you can pull the fuse marked EGI or disconnect the battery for a few minutes.

From what I know, these CPU will self learn from our driving habit and adapt to a pre-set parameter for an optimised fuel Consumption and power. Correct me if I'm wrong
