plug in the Subaru Select Monitor.

and what does that do?

by jd » Wed Jan 25, 2006 8:26 am

They can detect faults & reset as necessary, and change quite a few things (most dealers wont) including idle speed.

as long as it goes faster thats all that matters

by jd » Wed Jan 25, 2006 8:37 am

Cannot adjust parameters i.e mapping.

Why do you need to reset your ecu?

select monitor is how the dealers do it, but you can do it yourself.

If you use this procedure (pretty sure its the same on new age) you will also get the CEL light flashing to say all ok, or give you a code that a sensor is fubar. I use this procedure quite often and if you have any little niggles it normally sorts it or points you in the direction of the knacked sensor.

1. With engine at operating temp, turn engine off.

2. Locate the 2 ECU check connectors (under the steering column, consisting of a BLACK male and female and a GREEN male and female connector) NOTE: sometimes they are taped over/together.
With Ignition OFF connect Black to Black, and Green to Green

3. Turn ignition ON (DO NOT START ENGINE) Depress the accelerator pedal to floor and hold for a few seconds, then release.

4. Start engine and drive for at least 1 min keeping road speed above 11 KM/H (this bit is quite hard to do if you live in a busy resident area!)

5. ECU is now reset

6. At this point, the Check Engine light should start to flash the all clear signal (steady 1/2 second interval flashes) If the check engine does not flash, or indicates some other sequence, there is a possible fault present.

7. Stop the engine, and disconnect the plugs under the steering column.

Check here for the various codes/meanings if check engine light appears at any time-

If you just want to purely reset the ECU (and not bother with diagnostics) disconnect the battery for an hour :wink:
