Here's my story. 2 vehicles both went bonkers after a strong lightning storm with rain. I tried water clearing additive in the tank,zip, tried gunk remover additives,zip...check engine light, total loss of power clunking down the road. I saw this utube, read the comments and went with disconnecting both battery leads and grounded them both for 20 minutes then reconnected Took them for a long hard run & presto, works better than it has for many years with no problems and engine lights out. A bonus was my automatic tran shifted problem free for once. Thankyou...thankyou....thankyou!!!!

You still want to get it checked out by a mechanic. This is a temp fix for you because something stopped it. All got did was reset everything. Keep an eye on your check engine light and get the code read as soon as it comes on, if it does. That way you'll be able to spot the reason it wouldn't crank or start

Worked !!!!!!!! I have a 2006 Chevy Aveo. The check engine light came on and Via my OBD code reader, I had a small evap code and an oxygen sensor code. I looked into both issues. The check engine light came back on and now I had those codes return and three new codes for throttle position sensor, peddal sensor and transmission module sensor. I changed them. The problem remained. . . . Now the car would run good for a few minutes and then run like crap and go into limp mode. ( no fuel pedal response and car ran like it had one or two dead cylinders) I then removed and cleaned my MAF sensor checked and renewed all my major ground wire connections at my battery, starter, engine block, and body grounds. Bad grounds can effect sensors. . . .so they say. It ran even worse!!!! I was at my mental end. I was almost going to take her into the back country and light her up 🔥. Instead of throwing more money at this car I found your power control module reset. DID it step by step and This car now runs better than ever!!!!!! No check engine light = no codes. It accelerates better, shifts better. . . . Like a new car. You save us average Joe's from getting robbed by shop rates and shops that sell you more than you need and help us fix our own.

[@enjuneer]

I made a special jumper with alligator clips putting a 10 ohm 100 watt resister in series with the the jumper cable, adding protection and safety to protect the myriad of delicate complex programmable logic units modern autos have. I bought the 10 ohm 100 watt resistor and alligator jumper clips from Amazon. I used it to reset my wife's 2016 Cadillac SRX premium in operable electronic system. It drained the voltage of the electronic system from 1.2 voltes to 0 volts in 15-20 minutes. I would recommend using a voltmeter to determine when the transient voltage had been drained to 0 volts. To me the 10 ohm 100 watt resistor is a must.

Working on my 2006 GMC Duramax, I accidentally and unknowingly knocked loose one of the plugs on ECU. After I finished what I was doing the truck started throwing non-communication codes between the ECU and the TCU along with some other codes. After much painful frustration and talking with Duramax pros I discovered the loose plug. Now all the other codes disappeared except the ECU and TCU codes. After many more hours of searching the internet and youtube as well as talking with the diesel pros I came across your KZbin video.

[@cocreatorradio]

THANK YOU so much! The night before last I went out to roll up the windows in my Chevy 2011 HHR and left the key in the ignition. Yesterday about 5 pm, I got in the car to leave and saw what I had done, and of course the battery was dead. I put in on a charger for about 40 mins and then drove off. Immediately when driving up my street, something didn't feel right. I drove another mile or two, on 30 mph roads and noticed when I let off of the gas, the car would slow down, just like it would if it had a manual transmission. As I entered a road with a higher speed limit I finally realized the car was not up shifting out of first gear. Oh, no! I drove the car back home and started looking for answers on the internet and KZbin. Last night I tried a process to reset the transmission by turning the ignition key to position 2 and holding the gas pedal down for 15 secs then turning the key off and waiting 5 mins then starting the car. That had no effect. This morning I got back on the search engines and KZbin and found this video and watched it several times. It made sense to me. Reboot all of the computers. I said a prayer and followed the instructions exactly. IT WORKED!!! What a relief! The car has a lot of miles on it and the prospect of putting a new ECU in could have been very expensive and not a good investment at this point. Thank you so much again, sharing this knowledge has had very positive impact on my life, for real!

This worked for me plus one very important thing to do after. Make sure to drive in an area where you can drive around without too many long stops because my car had a very low idle and wanted to die when I went to a complete stop for more than 5 seconds. I drove around a non busy industrial area for a good 15 minutes and the idle became more and more normalized until my engine sounds perfect again. Finally after it sounded normal again hopped on the freeway for about 15 minutes again My car is a 2007 Camry if anyone is curious

[@GK7GARAGE]

Nice. These I idle relearn procedure for Toyotas that you have to do after a battery disconnect. It’s simply put the car and drive and just hold the brakes with the emergency brake on and just wait 5-10 minutes and the idle will relearn. I have a video on that

[@Macenzyee]

Yes just don't leave the positive wire on the battery when you short positive and negative. Unplug both leave the battery unconnected. Or just pull the fuse of the ecu in the fuse box should work too.

[@AtifMian88]

Good procedure but i would put a small 5w bulb instead of jumping the negative and positive terminals so it drains any caps slowly instead of shorting the system

[@larrytemen4789]

It doesn’t short the system. With the ground removed and not connected to the battery, the circuit isn’t complete, therefore a short circuit is impossible to happen.

[@MannyC711]

Just turn on your headlights for 5 min.

[@fathertime7923]

Not the best way to "discharge" static stored voltage within the ecu. I'd suggest using a test light in-line between the disconnected cables to consume power. Using a direct link between positive and negative causes a "discharge" and abrupt energy loss by generating heat as the consumption of power. Electronics' greatest enemy is heat. Using a test light is a much safer way, and allows the light to consume the power, rather than the ecu being subjected to heat by way of a direct short circuit. Just one old man's suggestion.

[@monkeebizz5997]

i like your input on this suggestion Mr and wanted you to know that!

[@jasonmartin7245]

How do we do the test light drainage? Just connected the test light cable to positive and the negative on the pointy nose pin ?

[@fathertime7923]

@@KFLson yes. With the cables disconnected, use the test light clamp to one cable, and the point (probe) to the other cable. There likely won't be enough energy to light the bulb, but the bulb will consume any stored power. It will completely discharge within 60-120 seconds.

[@Phuq_it]

@@fathertime7923 so no cables should be attached to battery? Using red battery cable and black battery cable you hook up the test light?

[@thomasbuford33]

For much faster results all you really have to do is disconnect positive battery terminal and touch it to ground 2 or 3 times for 20 seconds. Then reconnect positive terminal. Drive your vehicle 7 to 11 miles and while driving make shore to stop and start as you would at a stop sign . This will let your ECU relearn driving stratages.

[@oculophilia8724]

How is driving 10 miles faster or better than this?

Idles okay, but won't move and backfires every time I press the gas. It's a 1999 Mitsubishi Mirage DE, 1.5L, manual transmission. I added new spark plugs and wires, no help. I changed the distributor with no help (cap had oil in it). Ran seafoam through the upper and gas tank, no help. Cleaned the EGR valve out, no help. Checked/cleaned fuel injectors, no help. This weekend, I went all out. I replaced the EGR valve, replaced EGR vacuum solenoid, replaced MAP sensor, replaced throttle body position sensor, cleaned out the cat (worried the intermittent issues was from occasional block in the cat). I also have O2 sensors to replace, but it started raining, and those sensors are on bloody tight. The last thing I have left is this video's suggestion of resetting the computer. Something I've never done before, to be honest. God I hope this works too. Previously added a new fuel filter, air filter, timing belt 25k miles ago, alternator 15K miles ago, battery 1.5 years ago.

With electronic faults the car will reset to its original state but just for a shorter period if you have other faults already. If you try this on your wife she will restart as a super babe but only last for a shorter time with already built in faults. Either this battery trick or a electronic fault reseter who usually is better. 😊

YOU Don't have to use a jumper cable just unhook Neg Battery cable for 15mins & you don't need to cycle the key just start & drive the car the ECM will do a relearn within couple hours BUT all its going to do is Clear the ECM , If your Vehicle has Problems like a bad 02sensor or bad MAF or Bad MAP or Bad TPS OR any bad part , Unhooking the battery cable is not going to magically FIX those Bad Parts If you don't replace any bad parts when the ECM does the relearn all those codes for those bad parts will be set again & your check engine light is going to come back on !

This is interesting...I know dodge has built in obd2 diagnostics and read outs on the dash...u can actually run the self diagnostics in the vehicle by doing key codes...it’ll test even the instrument panel and gauges etc...head lights and wipers...kinda neat to watch it run it’s testing..turns itself on and off etc..then it’ll read out any problems it encountered on the odometer...all dodge Chrysler and jeep ...mopar vehicles have this built in...it’ll save ya 100s...some shops charge $150+ to hook a vehicle up for diagnostics...so it pisses me off when I hear the dodge dealer charged someone to run diagnostics on their mopar vehicle...no one reads owners manuals anymore...tons of excellent info in them like this type of info

[@jonathanhudson4623]

I've always reset every electronic in my car by disconnecting the positive and negative cables and connecting the wires themselves together to ground everything in the car out. I dont really see how you're doing much more than just bypassing the car and draining the battery by grounding it out. I've reset many ecms including my own car's computer before I'd tune them up while getting ready for a drag racing event. To quickly reset everything disconnect the battery and touch the wires together so it grounds out the electronics in the car. Doing it the way he shows in the video would basically just drain the battery down because the battery is being grounded out. I dont see how this guy's method really does anything more than just disconnecting your negative terminal for 30minutes would do. Also dont drive it easy after the reset. Drive it rather harder so you get a more performance oriented tune. More timing advance, firmer shifts (less slipping "in automatics only"), better Air fuel ratio, and personally I e gotten a noticeable feel in throttle response (likely the timing) and I've also gotten slightly better gas mileage. My car is slightly older than his f*rd. My car is a 2002 Pontiac TransAm WS6 with a 6 speed manual transmission car that has 70,140 original miles on it. Great car that is not even heavily modified and makes over 400 rear wheel horse power and still get 22-24mpg. Even after you reset everything and then drive it harder for a while, you can then ease off of it and drive normally and you should hold that performance increase for awhile and get better gas mileage. Once you notice the mpg dropping back down and it starts feeling weaker or less responsive, then reset it again and start over. I usually do my car ever 2 months or before I do a tune up before I would go racing. I hit my goal while racing so now I just tune it up for performance and to keep everything fresh and running top notch.
