Question Remove fuse to reset ecu?

Would removing the 7.5 amp battery fuse in the under the hood fuse box reset the ecu? This method worked for my older cars, I was just wondering if this would be an easier way to do it.

Disconnect your negative battery terminal for about 15~ minutes and voila, reset. Run a quick search as various other methods were discussed not to long ago.

I know about the battery way, and the glove box way, i was just wondering if this could be another way to do it.

Reportedly from another thread you can unplug the far left ECU connector and step on the brake and then plug it back in. Someone reported this as Shiv's method.

1. Remove glove box
2. remove plastic ECU cover
3. Unplug far left ECU connector
4. Press brake pedal until it's hard.
5.Plug ecu connector back in.

Yes, I know about that way, and also the battery terminal way. But my question was about the fuse in the fuse box. Any body know? This was a very easy way to reset the ecu for my other cars.

Yes there is a way, problem is there is more than 1 fuse for the ECU so it's trial and error on your part to figure out wich one is the one you need to pull. They mark a bunch as ECU even though the are not exactly for the ECU (power).
