Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

ECU reset?

Post by Sonia406 »

Rightio

Anyone know how to reset the ECU?
Is > THIS < the right way to do it? Also does this apply for us Petrols?

I also take note of > THIS < but I think this only will remove the service spanner (which is visible btw, was pressing both buttons yesterday trying to clear that).

Want to try and re-set the ECU to see if that clears the system of the ABS fault - ANYTHING is worth trying.
Any help appreciated.

Should there be an audible beep, if so how soon after it's reconnected?

As soon as you open the door,

I think that's what the bsi reset/5 min rule is all about
I presume you've seen the guide in the kB section,

There are so many, what mjb calls, voodoo procedures on resetting the BSI and I still have no idea which one is correct. Definitely worth a shot.
