The disconnecting the battery trick resets the computer on earlier model cars, like my 2000 S for example (tried and confirmed), but I believe that on the newer models it will not reset the computer.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just finished and went on a test drive to bed the brakes in. Installed all 4 rotors by Balo with Mintex pads. Also, had new tires installed on my rims. The rotors and pads made a huge difference in stopping performance. I no longer feel that scrubbing from the brakes as before, I have smoother stops and when I have to stand on them she stops fast but smoothly. The tires are Falken 912's, which are more like Michellen Pilots. Nice smooth, very quite ride with a lot of bite of dry payment. Tested them on a nice hair pin turn at 50 mph she took it stride. Now, while out on the test I had a plug on one of the coil packs work loose. I have removed and cleaned all my plugs also replaced the spark plug tube seals on one side since they where showing oil around them. Now I need to clear the CHECK ENGINE light. Can I do this by disconnecting the battery and waiting a few minutes and them reconnect it. This works on some American cars. :dance:

POST 2Original post

it may work but it doesnt work for all lights like AIRBAG wont clear... you can try just make sure you have your radio code handy first

POST 3Original post

What year is your car? The disconnecting the battery trick resets the computer on earlier model cars, like my 2000 S for example (tried and confirmed), but I believe that on the newer models it will not reset the computer. Try it and see.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2000 S...did you have to put the radio code back in.

POST 5Original post

any time power is disconnected from the radio (aka battery removal or radio removal) you will have to re-enter the radio code.
