Guys,

I recently got myself one of those OBDII cables from ebay and it came with a host of "free" software to play with, which all seem interesting, watching my exhaust gases,revs etc ,

but I can't seem to find one that will allow me to do a simple ECU reset .

I just want to reset my ECU and let it learn a new fuel map based on Vpower or whatever its called ( in the past i've reluctantly had to use normal unleaded from time to time so i'm sure it will perk up a bit with a reset )

does anyone know of a free software tool that will do it ?

Cheers

Russ

You could just do the disconnect the battery turn on ignition press brake to discharge system, turn off ignition reconnect battery job
