Title: Computer Reset ?
Post by Dean on Jun 17^th, 2005, 7:19pm

Hi Guys
i have been told by a friend that there is a way to reset the on-board computer fitted to the Mondeo, this is done by pulling out one of the fuses for about 30 minutes ? he was a little unsure about it ? This has now got me wondering, is it the same for the Scorpio ? if so, what exactly will be acheived by this and what fuse should be pulled ? i'm not planning to do this myself but was just wondering ??? is this just a mith or is it a fact ?

cheers

Dean ;)

Why do you need to 'reset' the EEC?

What problems are you having that requires a rest?

If you do a reset then the car has by default enter the 'learning mode' which is well described on the main site although there is a set drive cycle for this procedure should you need it.

Suggest you ahve read of the main site MOST of the more common faults with the scorpio have most likely already been covered. Have search around in here http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/index2.htm
