Y ar wha you’re pointing at is 4way flasher.
I'm looking for a older model pickup without all the computers, there nothing but trouble 😵💫.
Thanks for the informative reset video.
great information
if problem is physical then we need to check from mechanic
I just came across your clip. Can i reset the throttle, transmission shift and mass airflow sensor at the same time with out having to driving off in between the resets to relearn? I have all those three symptoms on my car
I went into an auto service shop today (Sunnyvale CA) to ask how much it would cost to get them to hook up my car to their diagnostic unit to find out why my check engine light was on. They said $300. That's today Jan 6,2026. Then I remembered Scotty on a youtube short. This one showed up, too.
Honestly this is just another of the SHIT in this garbage of a world nowadays and yet the bulk of the under 50yo's think it's all wonderful, oh but i must say the greatest bulk of them are so so mentally impaired there'll be no happy future for them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have a code with the exclamation mark and triangle it can be reset by turning the steering wheel right and left ..while parked...
My all wheel drive says it's malfunctioning. Any thoughts
This is Horrible advice, it's 1990s thinking. This is NEVER necessary and will end up costing you more. Did you possibly just forget to tighten your gas cap? Be aware that once the problem is fixed, the computer will turn off the Check Engine light itself without resetting. Plus, Repair shops and Auto Parts stores will read your Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for you for free, showing you which system is affected. You can also get a $10 code reader to keep in the car for when your Check Engine light turns on. When you reset your car's computer, you temporarily cover up a real problem that will develop into an expensive disaster that leaves you stranded, which could have been a cheap fix if you dealt with it when the Check Engine Light came on. Secondly, when you reset the computer, you wipe out the stored data stream the car's computer has been holding for the mechanic, as well as the adaptive strategy data it has learned over time to keep the engine running and the car driving at peak performance and efficiency. That data is critical and can save the mechanic hours if a diagnostic procedure is necessary. Remember, repair shops charge you for every hour a mechanic spends tracing the root cause of what broke. There is no set fee for a mechanic to navigate the nebulous mystery that caused your car's computer to detect a fault. Be proactive and save money, extending the life of your vehicle. Don't be blissfully ignorant of a gathering storm.

If you have a Toyota sienna post 2000 and your van goes into limp mode, most like you blew a fuse in your engine fuse box. Check that first.
This was an excellent video. I can see it being helpful for a lot of people I know. Thank you for one of the best videos I've watched.
Im 67 yr old 4'10 i would rather my old cutlas or my GTO or maybe Nova anyway even i knew my way around the cars. These nowadays are joke cars. Planned obsolescence
😍😍
Mechanics don't hate these . There temporary at best or useless. So we will fix what you the car owner fucked up and then fix the real problem. TNX. for the job security.
Get a code reader too.
I’m gonna have to agree with you about big bills from dealers and some mechanics for the most part you’re right but all of us aren’t the same, that’s the same as labeling every certain job, every dog, cat and so on even race and i do not live life that way as many does not either when you say mechanics you should say some or most mechanics because i have a small mechanics business and honestly I actually got into this first because I love to help people especially those that have a family and just can’t afford much at all, i love to find something really easy so I can get the pleasure of saying you owe me nothing, like I say I have to agree with most garages love to charge the more the better no matter what, but not me and I know I can’t be the only one even if I was then sir’ you just labeled me and I don’t appreciate it so I’m only asking you to be careful about putting everyone in the same label, I say this because I care even for you very much so I’m asking you please be careful about the label thing….
Disconnecting the battery does not reset the ECU!
This video is worth gold. Save it and use it!
What about vehicles that are push button starting?
I replaced the interior fuse box and now the car won't recognize my key. I tried the options here, but no luck. Anything else I can try that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? It's a 2008 Honda CR-V. Thanks
Thank you. This information is very helpful.
When it comes to the a/c blowing cold on one side, and hot on the other, it can also mean you just need to add refrigerant, which is not an expensive fix. Even though your a/c system is labeled as a SEALED system, if your car is parked for a long period without the a/c being run, refrigerant can very slowly escape from the seal around your compressor pulley. EXAMPLE-I have a pristine 2013 Mustang GT 5.0 that I store in my garage from October to either April or May. Ever 2-3 years it needs refrigerant. I always test for leaks but none ever show up. It just happens.
What a beautiful story. And play some zen music when one of your seven computers play up
Tell me reset p0500 sensor vss?
Thanks for the informative reset video. <br>I need help with with my 2008 model b200 turbo Mercedes benz diagnostic results explanation. I wanted to attach the said results screenshot hereto but struggling to do it
Have merk a180class 2005 in limp mode can you please help me
yes but that don't work on many of those Nissan you will have too many code those car are made for the yunk yard not for poor peoples

What if you dont have a key? Just a start button.
Stop blaming mechanic shops, the carmaker is responsible for this crap.
Im in limp mode how do i reset that all dodge vans have that cant go over 40 i hate this van
Great info I like this channel
How do I reset a Ford focus 2000 es 4 cylinder
Need reset program for a 2000 Ford focus EX
I have a scenario. If you could give an idea of the possible fix, I would appreciate it. I have a 2021 honda crv 1.5l. My wife had met in an accident, and to me, the car was totaled. However, the insurance fixed it. It was fairly new and had 27000 miles. Since the accident, it hasn't driven so well, which I was expecting. 1. Whenever the car starts and begins driving, it has a winding sound, and it gets louder whenever breaking up. 2. If for any reason I have a sudden break-up, it moves sluggish and picks up a little after. 3. if it starts and does not warm up enough when it begins to drive and does a sudden acceleration, the engine starts to jump. There's no engine check light, No code was found when scan, so I changed the air filter and cleaned the MASS sensor. Thanks in advance for your response.
Clickbait video Different cars different procedure !! Pro do this via the obd interface This youtuber crook just stole others work!
Is there one for Ford pickup s 6.4 Diesel I need to know how to reset the green wrench on the dashboard where you can only go 35 miles an hour I’ll be waiting thank you
If it came out after the 90s I don't drive it. <br>Love my 70 Nova and my 68 charger, but my pride and joy is a 96 Civic built to almost 1000hp
Rarely see codes on a Lexus unless they invent an excessive rear tire wear code
The truth is , its all shite
I am a fan of the hard/battery disconnect rest of the computer. It fixes many strange problems!<br><br>In most cases, you need to drive the car for a while at 55 MPH for some of the computer systems to get back to normal.<br>Afterwards, check for any codes to make sure you don't have any other problems!
so stupid
If you short the cables without a resistor in between, you can create a high momentary current that can damage electronic components. Beware!
I really hope nobody is falling for this. Most shops donnot charge to run diagnostics. Its free at any parts store. How is resetting something going to fix something physically broken.
Can one order a car like made in the 70s. Or 80s. Only radio/wipers/Electric windows/heater/air. Do notWANT IT NEed tracking bells /whistles that One never uses!
Auto zones scanners are free
ECU limp mode caused by my stage one tune ARP which cause my 2 of my cam sensors to go out and ruined my rear differential. At 60,000 miles.
Sorry I just can’t listen to that AI voice.<br>Could have been a good informative vid , instead we have to listen to crap!<br>Get a proper human to do the narrative you cheapskate!

This does not work
TOURQE TASTICS SOUNDS like decent artificial intelligence however leaving out infotainment systems all the information in the " CAR RESET TRICKS" WILL LEAD TO A MECHANICLY TOTALLED VEHICLE so do your research humans that drive cars and light trucks the only time in 36 years of my experience that I witnessed "GHOST CODES" was when moisture intrusions inside the HUMAN OCCUPATION AREA had occurred.
36 years I have serviced ,repaired and ,diagnosed all types of you're cars as a a technician I insist you consider this post ur watching mostly untrue click bait DO YOUR OWN RESERCH DO NOT FOLLOW THE UN VERRIFIED HULUSINATIONS OF THIS POST OR YOU RISK A MECHANICALY TOTAL LOSS!!!
America<br>"Land of the Free"<br>From Education and<br>"Common Sense."<br> I love the poorly educated,<br> DJT
Ty for the cheats .
Omg ,,, that's it , I'm done ,,, no way will I buy a modern car if this is what it's like. I'm sticking with my 25 year old Audi and 50yr old triumph. What a complete joke these new cars are !
bullshit
This video is AI BS. IOW, it's loaded with half truths, misrepresentations, and global claims that are true for some cars under some conditions, but are not global. Some of these "tricks" can be harmful on some cars and conditions. <br><br>A Code Reader is NOT an actual OBD Scan Tool, that can read additional data and sensor info. There are cases where resets will remove info needed for accurate diagnosis, which needs to be done first. <br><br>There is never a case where both battery terminals need to be disconnected to remove power. That's only needed if terminals need cleaning (which should be almost never if coated in vaseline inside and out), the battery tray needs cleaning, some obstructed bolt or light needs access, or the battery is replaced. Note how inconsistent this AI crap is with instructions to remove both vs negative only terminal. It makes no functional difference removing power which terminal is removed, but negative off first or only, on last, makes accidents with tools less likely. <br><br>Tire pressure? More BS. Yes, one should review door post or owner's manual info. However, if tires are changed, info for 35, 44, or higher psi tires should not be mismatched between vehicle info and tire series actually installed currently. <br><br>Really good mechanics are rare, as knowing the IT systems AND gross mechanical systems AND quirks of brands and models, is a high knowledge and skill level. Many mechanics rush to superficial diagnosis and repair estimates that call for replacing perfectly good parts that are profitable to sell, and ignore complex problems. A missing odd ground bolt on a wiring harness in an obscure location can cause weird issues with electronic controls, but 11 hours of electronics diagnostics under different operating cycles to find a 25 cent part isn't how many people think, or business models operate. <br><br>Linked infotainment and car operating and spyware systems, sold with devious, impossible to clearly understand contracts? Most cars from most manufacturers need some Luigi Care for Congress, the EPA, nearly all manufacturers, dealers, finance companies, and international cartels of info brokers. And, that remedy only removes major sources of the bad engineering design and worse corporate predators usage of corrupt lawfare, not fix the underlying malicious design defects, were it even possible. How can we cause that change?
No it does not. If its a hard fault you will never get rid of it. Till its fix properly
Is there a code for a flat tire ? I need my tire air to come back ?
BS om lot it
Work on 2010 forester?
this video is not correct , can work but maybe 1 percent of the time . the ecu is smart and reliable , resetting things is not how to fix a car
I have a 1986 Chevy C10 and have 0 of these problems. 😊
TIME TO BUY A 1965 CAR NO COMPUTER ON THEM WE SLOWLY LIVE AND LEARN.....
I have a 2007, is it too old for this?
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhqRD237DvE&t=891">14:51</a> Check Engine Light Reset
I have the red obd scanner. It has been an awesome purchase. Some vehicles have their own on board OBD scanner which can be activated when the car is off.
This is such BS. 25+ years in the industry so this is MAYBE applicable to a single model. People that know nothing about vehicles have no business working on them. Do you fix electrical issues at home? No. What about a plumbing problem? NO. These “tips” are useless.
Fun fact mechanics wont know if there "bad data" until they do a diagnostic.
❤
Awesome thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍
That's one reason I like old cars, you know the ones I can fix with rubber bands, bobbie pins or duck tape. Lol 😂
The Throtle recal. When you say Repeat the steps two more times do you mean with also the key from the off position and again to the #2 position or just the peddle actions two more times?
Wait a minute now number 15 your saying take key out unhook battery cables the hook positive and negative together while unhooked from vehicle now how is that clearing anything because battery is not connected to the vehicle it's just setting there so I'm waving my Bullshit flag on this video..
Or you could buy the banks programmer and plug it in and read all your own Diagnostics
Thanks Fer making this Lil country girl look smart😂
Growing up in the 60,s we never had ant problem s with this crap 💩 why because the cars didnt have these damn computers . Dealers love it because they use it to rake in the $$$$$$$$$ . Some dealers are honest but some are crooked as they get .
No brainer
This is a very cool video
None car people teaching none car people about cars LMFAO!<br>Yes please listen to him we don't really care? Why because it will be more expensive when your car does actually break down.<br>Most of the time the ECU has no problems and if it does it's something that Mechanics check for. Which means most of the time<br>It's working as properly as intended. So if your car dash lights up like a Christmas tree it actually means your car is pretty fuked lol<br>It probably also means you probably never changed your oil or didn't do any maintenance on your car. And it's going to die.<br>And sweety if your car doesn't turn on it's not the ECU. <br>It's either the battery is dead, the spark plugs are fuked, or there is something wrong with the ignition <br>And you can't fix that by restarting the ecu. And most of you wouldn't even know wtf you are doing and probably will delete the ECU which now makes you extra fuked.<br>And you just made things worse <br>And now you most likely will need to pay your car getting towed to a Mechanic and now you have to drop a couple hundred dollars to buy a new ecu.<br>The only time I have ever seen an ECU messing up that bad is because it's old. Other then that it works fine and doing its job.<br>And letting you know what is wrong with your car. Sure you can choose to ignore it and then you have to pay more money then you would have to if you just got it fixed as quick as you can.<br>If you have something broken in you home you fix it right?<br>Why does that shit stop when it comes to car? The difference between car and a fuking home is a car will tell you there is something wrong.<br>This is littlerally having an alarm in your home and it goes off saying "hey someone is trying to break in"<br>And you're like "Nah bet your just glitching" and ignore it. But hey if you want to take a road trip and be stuck out in the middle of no where <br>With no help that your deal lol<br>No what you do is find a mechanic or car person you can trust and ask them to check out your car.<br>I'm a car girl my car will always our last any of your cars because I actually take care of it. And work on my own car. <br>Oh and for real if you hear a knocking sound and you are still driving your car lol you are really fuked lmfao! Why? Because it means something is wrong with your engine block and because you continued to dive it and not get it fixed you're doing more damage to your engine. Meaning now you will have to drop either 5 Gs (5,000)<br>To get a junk yard engine to 15-30 Gs if you get a new engine just to fix it. But wait it does stop there.<br>Because it takes a lot of work and a lot of time to take out the engine from your car take off all the parts from your car then rebuild the new engine you bought and installing it into the car again. Which means you will be dropping some major bank on your car.<br>But ya sure jist reset the ECU<br>Btw ECU mean Electronic Control Unit. Meaning this is the computer <br>That tell how much gas to air ratio to use. EMS is(Engine Management System) this is what monitors everything. If any of your dash light come on it will the EMS<br>That is tell you. Not the ECU<br>So listen to a car girl, that is a drifter, that grew up around cars and have friends and family that is all into racing and know about cars to.<br>Or listen to this dumbass that doesn't know what he's talking about? <br>Choice is your.
This is why I drive (daily) a 65 Plymouth. Had a short, got my "jabber", found the problem. Cost my wallet $15.00 versus a mechanic quote of minimum $400.00, and 2 days with my "tank". Educate yourself, don't be at anyone's mercy. Keep your $$$ in your wallet .
All this is doing is delaying the inevitable, it's bad advice. Might as well clean the murderers shoe prints off the floor to help them escape so they'll do it again when you least expect it.
Nothing wrong with gripping something that's stiff😂😂😂
Key Fob could have a dead battery try changing that first.
Most people are way too stupid to manipulate this system that’s why the mechanics 🧰 want $150 to kiss 💋 his feet 🦶😜😝🤓🙂↕️😏. 🤦♀️<br>This is why you buy and old vehicle that doesn’t have all of those crappy new systems 🤬
If it were just this easy.
Hot air on passenger, cool on drivers side on my Mitsubishi outlander means it’s low on refrigerant. Easy fix!
Great info video,are all those reset procedures apply to all made and models ? Thanks
Won't fix the issue, it WILL return....
And if you people believe this your dumber than I that.
You CAN NOT EVER touch the positive terminal to the negative terminal on ANY BATTERY. If you must (and I don't know why ) you need to reset the car's computer removing the negative wire (cars have negative common returns) should reset the car's computer.
As a mechanic and shop owner I hope more people do this I hate electrical problems oh and I DO NOT charge to diagnose as a matter of fact I don't charge to look them over before you buy either and if it fails inspection I don't charge for failure.CainesCarCare
Lies. Take your car to any car parts store and they will scan your CPU for free. O'Reilly's, AutoZone, NAPA, any of them will give you a free scan regardless if you make any purchases.
New cars all have coded Parts to car parts, so taking the battery of will completely make it worse,
#1 actually works in some cases. Pull your relay out for for fuel pump on a 07 cobalt when you out it back in it will crank but not start. Pull the cables and hold them together for 10-20 seconds fires right up. Idk about all the other crap in this video sounds cool though
Good morning since u know about reset my 2015 honda accord coupe ex-l 3.5L v6 show dashboard light showing key, my car audio systems wire touch my a mistake i Google it show reset the battery but still not work my key fob have button locked and unlocked working can start and drive but button not working key open but button not working do u know what happened?
No it doesn't
