can i reset the ecu myself and how do i do it?

take off the negative from the battery or take out the back-up fuse for about a min. i hope you have the radio code..... it might be in your secrect compartment, but thats a secret... lol

Do not remove your battery cable to reset the ECU. Remove the no. 25 "backup" fuse (7.5 amp) from the cabin fusebox for 60 seconds. You will not need your radio code using this method.

does any one no the code for the 2000 model with the cd stacker?

i have disconected my battery before and when i put it back in the radio still worked without having to put a code in. so if i pulled the fuse out would this make it ask me for a code when i put it back?

each radio has its own code...ya need to get the number offa the back of it

How long was the battery cable disconnected? The radio can sometimes retain its memory for a couple (to a few) minutes. No, the BACK UP fuse removal is the method of choice to reset the ECU WITHOUT losing the radio code.

ps. Why are your resetting? It's not because you have a CEL, is it?

If just anybody knew this, our radios wouldn't be much of an anti-theft thing, would it?

arent you suppose to reset it if you put a new header on or some shit like that

You don't "have to". Given a few driving cycles, the ECU will learn new stuff like that on its own. Resetting it will only start the process sooner.
