Thank you for posting! This saved me a trip to the dealer to clear a fault code. Best description of this process I’ve seen on here. I recently changed out the coil packs and plugs on my e92 335i. I tried to reset the “service engine soon” light using several scanners but none of them could clear it or even see the fault code (presumably because it is now fixed). This fixed my only remaining problem, no more “service engine soon” light now. Only thing I might add is when hooking things back up to hook the positive up first. I’ve heard these cars are sensitive to that and it might cause a lot of other issues if the negative is hooked up first.

It worked well. The radio and while making a Bluetooth call, they both would shut off for a few seconds and then come back on over and over, and I would lose power steering sometimes too. The check engine light came on and that's when I had Auto Zone give me a diagnostic trouble code, and it was showing the power train system, and ABS. Sure enough though, and the attendant tried to sell me a power train system for $456.90, but she made the mistake of saying that the codes just needed to be reset and that when I found this, and two other videos telling me to do this.

Great idea; however, seriously consider one crucial modification. Although I am not a general electrician, I did earn the certificate. That stated, connecting the positive and negative cables together drains downstream capacitors in the various circuits; however, it also short-circuits them as well, short-circuiting that can possibly damage delicate ECU circuit components. Therefore, I would recommend using a capacitor discharge tool like the one described in an IFIXIT article, “Constructing a Capacitor Discharge Tool,” by Andrew Bookholt. Years-ago, I created such a tool, adding alligator clips for convenience as well. Finally, for safety sake, when reconnecting the battery of a negatively-grounded vehicle, start and finish connecting the positive cable, ending by placing the battery terminal protection cover on the positive post. The last thing one wants to do is wrench-around the positive terminal while a battery cable is connected to the negative terminal. If one’s wrench should accidently come in contact with the frame, sparks will fly. For a negatively-grounded vehicle, that is why one always disconnects the negative cable first and then the positive and reconnects the positive cable first (completely) and then the negative. When jumping a negative-ground vehicle, connect the negative jumper cable to the frame, not the negative battery post, avoiding the consequences of a possible battery explosion. In any case, always wear adequate eye protection.

The capacitor discharge tools isnt necessary. The capacitor would be discharging through the circuitry of the ECU which already has resisors in it. Remember, its because the capacitor are seeing an open circuit when the battery is removed that is why they hold the charge. They would eventually drain after a long time. Shorting the terminals speeds up the process. We use to do this for old computers as well, unplug it, remove the CMOS battery, short a certain jumper and voila, your pasword protection is gone 😂

There’s a measurable potential between the positive and negative cables when disconnected from the battery. I use a very thin copper wire wrapped several 100s of times around a pencil to create a “resistor”. Then connect one end to positive and the other end to negative. The connected voltmeter then shows a decreasing voltage. When voltage goes to zero the ECU is reset without damage.

Then jumper a wire from the positive cable (still on the battery) to ground for the same "draining" effect. But for "newbies" it is better to tell them to disconnect both battery cables and then short the two cables together - not involving the battery at all. What concerned me is this guy had good intentions, but: 1. He disconnected the "positive" cable first - not safe. 2. When connecting the battery back up, he put the positive cable on first (ok), but "before" he tightened it, he put the negative cable back on too and tightened it first - not safe. 3. He kept calling the cables "terminals" - that is a misnomer, saying to "short the terminals" is wrong... terminals are on the battery! True, he was showing "what to do", but what he was saying was conflicting with what he is doing - and when there is confusion there is danger.

The reason you disconnect the ground first, is because the ground touches every circuit in the car. Therefore you disconnect every circuit, including computers. The positive lead does not. All the positive energy from the battery runs through relays and fuses, where the ground does not. If you replace the ground first and then are sloppy when you connect the positive you can do damage to your computers with voltage spikes. The same applies to jumper cables when you go to jump a car off with a dead battery! You should always connect positive and negative, and wait for about 5 minutes for the battery to charge and a computer's to come online. Hope this helps explain why the positive then negative rule is crucial.

Negative is the ground?

My friend thanks for this video, it provides me good information, just today I did clean my car’s throttle body following your instructions and surprisingly it working so far. ❤❤❤❤

Haha, I found out just yesterday. My car had a misfiring and would die when engage into gear. No amount of disconnecting the negative terminal helped. Method: step on your accelerator fully to the floor and then turn ignition to "on" for 15s, continue pressing the accelerator to the floor. Then turn off ignition, lift off your accelerator. You are ready to go to normal starting and driving.

You can use the other "positive cable" as well. Doesnt have to be the "Negative cable" So it doent matter which cable you are using as longs as its just the cable.

The only reason to take the negative off first is so your wrech does not ark to ground. If your taking the Possitive off It might, could be a bad thing, if it welds it's self to ground. Some batterys (in good shape) can have 800+ amps. You can weld with that, or burn up your car too.

So you disconnect the battery cables at the terminals and touch the two cables together to discharge the capacitors which are basically mini batteries inside the vehicle computers thus erasing the computer learned memory and brings it to factory settings.

So basically you created a arch in the charging system to deplete the rest of the system's residual

U didn’t show first the dashboard lights from the start as proof u reset it. Anyway I think we should drink beer together after I try this if this actually works on my lights from my dashboard on 2013 accord. This is diy money saver as dealer is charging me $195 to clear it and $1000+ cost to buy reprogramming scanner tool from amazon. Much appreciation!

@lover of engines , the brother how you doing ? I want to ask you if you do the same process you do to your car in a 2010 Acura MDX it will work? And if you had any previous computer updates it will erase the updates or it will not affect those ecu updates ? Thank you

I just saw another video on KZbin and it suggested a simpler method of simply taking out the ecu fuse , then replacing straight away? Would that work , although maybe best to wait 30 mins before replacing to give time for caps to discharge! Is this going to work ? Certainly easier than disconnecting the battery! 😊

Nice! Just some thought coming to me. I wonder if anything like the clock, trip meter or odometer might be reset by this operation? Also, like in my car there are other displays - radio station memory, volume memory, fuel consumption memory, estimated miles remaining before need to refuel, keyfob ID and who knows what else...
