What is the Best Way to Reset ECU?
I need to reset my ECU. People are saying to take the negative (-) off the battery. And people are saying to pull out a fuse or two. I've heard that one of these ways will make you lose power. Which is the best?

I was searching around, and this guy swears on his life that this is the best way.

Edit: And you did the right thing by coming on here and asking instead of just taking their word for it. If you believe everything you read on those Honda forums, I feel sorry for you.

It does and it doesn't. If you're on a reputable forum that isn't full of idiots and actually has good usable information and isn't frequented by ricers, it won't matter.

I took this directly from my 2000 Owner's Manual...
Because your vehicle’s engine is electronically controlled by a computer, some control conditions are maintained by power from the battery. When the
battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the engine must relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy for optimum driveability and performance.
To begin this process:
1. With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.
2. Put the gearshift in P (Park) (automatic transmission) or the neutral position (manual transmission), turn off all accessories and start the engine.
3. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
4. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.
5. Turn the A/C on and allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.
6. Drive the vehicle to complete the relearning process.

6. Drive the vehicle to complete the relearning process.
- The vehicle may need to be driven 16 km (10 miles) or more to relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy.
- If you do not allow the engine to relearn its idle trim, the idle quality of your vehicle may be adversely affected until the idle trim is eventually relearned.
