ECU reset after GIAC flash...

I'm assuming that it's safe to reset the ECU and that the flash won't be erased. Am I off base here?

TIA,

Richard

You are absolutely correct, you just can't have the dealer reflash the ECU.

Hope that helps!

Thanks!

Thanks Randy. I'm not sure that the reset really does anything, but it's a suggested last step in the Detriot Tuned bypass instructions.

I broke the plastic tab on the intake tube, so it's been a while getting a new tube and doing the extra work to get the car back together. I'm hoping to finish up tonight after dinner and get my baby back on the road.

Thanks for coming back Randy. Our MINI world really isn't much without you.

So thanks for coming back depsite the bad things said about you.

We all love you, (and we all love to hate you). Either way, there is love involved.
