Ok, if I disconnect the battery in my AU for about an hour I know the EEC is reset and has to relearn.
So when I first restart it, what is the correct proceedure to go through. I know its something to do with turning the wheel lock to lock and having AC off and then on.

Any advice?

"FYI, the correct procedure (as taken from my AU2 workshop manual):

-Reset computer (to start fresh again) by removing power.
-When power is re-connected, start car and idle in this sequence...
-2 minutes idling with the trans. in drive and A/C on.
-2 minutes idling with the trans. in drive and A/C off.
-2 minutes idling with the trans. in newtral and A/C on.
-2 minutes idling with the trans. in newtral and A/C off.
-Now go and (test) drive the car for at least 5 minutes.
"
by (test) drive he means drive it like you stole it coz the ecu has to learn all settings from idleing to going flat out.

thank you

Just out of curiousity these reset procedures are for an Auto. Does it have anthing for a manual or do i just ditch the 2 minute sequence in Drive mode.

Cheers,
Gary.

Ive always just disconnected the bat.
Once reconnected, idle for 2 mins, with aircon on and off, lights, etc.
then gone for a thrash.
The EEC5 may be different.
