Serious, learned it from Chrysler mech manual. I did not believe it at first. Took my new Jeep into the dealer and he said it needed a hard reboot on the ECM to clear all codes and updated tables which forces it to use the OEM tables in PRAM. Since I was an IT guy I said I understand that, how do you do it. He told me and said NO WAY...he said WAY. They came got my Jeep, and took me into the bay and I made him show me in the manual that this was proper procedure, in fact They Xeroxed a copy of it.Not sure if joking. If serious, please skip the last part where you're touch the neg cable to the pos one. Just wait three minutes, then reconnect. That's a lot cheaper and safer.
Soooo....
What round for bank notes?
Shut down your car and remove the key, turn on headlights, turn off, turn on radio, turn off, remove Neg cable from Neg post and touch to Pos cable ON the Pos post, do this with a rubbing action to insure a solid contact. What this does is to clear codes, remove any LATENT electrical charges such as those in memory, clears all tables and forces it back to the OEM table set.
Systems today are a bit smarter and learn quicker. If you drive from say near sea level up into the rockies, like I did several times a year the trick was when you arrived to do the procedure and it will adjust itself for the thinner air, so you get a different fuel pattern that happens real quick, usually in about the first 5 or so starts/restarts.
When I was at the Ford dealership not long ago for some issues that required a hard reboot, they told me they no longer do that any more. Instead they do it at the ECM itself and it clears all the memory in the ECM and then they completely reload the software. It takes the better part of a day to do it.
So when I serve wine to my guests and I tell them its 'Chardonnay Yesterday' then I can tell them its still a vintage wine...luv itA wine doesn't have to sit around for years and years to be "Vintage ". Vintage refers to the batch of wine produced that particular year, and has a lot to do with the grape production.
So, a good wine can be relatively young, while one that's been around awhile could be crap.

Only on standard aspirated cars but if you got a puffer sitting atop that motor you need to reset the tables:LOL, I bet it does!
Yeah, Colorado gas also comes in lower octane grades than Texas, so having the ECM relearn things shouldn't be necessary.
Yeah, those onboard diagnostic interfaces are slow as hell. On my car, I take the memory card out of my GPS, stick into my laptop and update all the maps within two minutes. On my wife's car, no memory card! Put a USB stick into the jack in the car, start the procedure and then wait 3 hours. With the engine running!
That, I did not know.It's all Moonpie's fault.

You can, if you have the appropriate disability.Yeah, you can put those spinners on boats, golf carts, tractors, or off-road vehicles....just not on road cars.

Wait—it’s always Moonpie’s fault!
That’s crazy!Well, Moonpies come in chocolate and vanilla. ..but the best ones are bananas.
