Dint know this could also happen.

In a way you got a brand new car.

A noob question.

If the above statement is true should I also have resetted the ECU when I had installed the FFE on my car?

But does FFE have any connection with the electric circuitry?

yes your ECU was also reset. no problem with that.

It is supposed to reset the ecu causing it to adapt to any changes that have been made mechanically.

Not sure. I read about the filter thing here http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modifi...went-down.html

hrag,
I am not sure about the Question. To put things frankly, I wasnt planning to get the Wind installed at Evo. I just asked Satya if he knew anyone at Hot Tracks. He instead told me he'd source the Wind and install it at his place. I am not sure about his expertise in installing GC filters. The battery disconnecting thing was suggested by me, as I had read the same on the thread as posted above. But from the looks of the installers, they weren't really conversant with the filter. I mean, they couldn't install it blindfolded.. if you get the drift.

But all said and done, there was nothing wrong that was done at EVO that could have reset the Odo. Apart from the few nuts and screws, nothing else was fiddled with. So I'd not really put the blame on them.

Is it? I wasn't knowing about this part. So does it have to be done even if you install those Bolt On FFEs available? Isn't it that the ECU adjusts accordingly on detecting any change in the basic parameters like air intake and stuff?

Moreover, I have seen K&N filters being installed on the vehicles without any change in the ECU, so is it an incorrect approach?

Yes FFE does have a connection as the O2 sensor is connected to the new headers and will read the new values from there. It is not necessary to reset the ECU. Resetting the ECU just clears the old values so that the sensors can start reading the new values immediately.

Unless there is some issue with the odometer console or the battery inside the odometer console it is not possible for the odometer to get reset. Even if you disconnect the battery it should store the odo value in memory or there should be small battery which allows you to store the value.

As far as I know(And i don't know much) the ECU adapts anyhow.I haven't bothered disconnecting the battery after an airfilter upgrade + exhaust upgrade + a port and polish.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking, I have always had heard and known of the ECU resets for Indian bikes (pulsar220/R15--having OPEN LOOP ECUs) and is probably the first time am hearing about it for the cars. So far all the airfilter/exhaust/headers upgrades I had known of had nothing to do with ECU resets so was kind of puzzled regarding the same on reading here. Thanks for the clarification.

During the Green Cotton installation, they removed the +ve terminal of the battery. But I dont think that should be any reason for the same.

FH why don't you just take it to the A.S.S tell them about ur issue and demand that it be checked with a different cluster for issues , they can always do that ... i have seen hyundai do that to check a car's ECM

and ECU reset would help , show benefits immediatley , atleast thats what i have understood , thats also th reason why After a petes box installation , it is recommended that the ECU be rest by disconnecting the -ive terminal.

This does clear out the trip meters ( both A & B ) but not the ODO on my verna.

Time for an update.

Took the car to MASS. Apparently out of the 1.5L Swifts or so sold till now, no one has encountered such a problem (I'm honoured). The sad part is that neither the service manager nor his boss could figure out what went wrong. So they are going to replace the speedometer console under warranty. The Odo will of course be reset to 0. They'll give it in writing that the speedo was changed at 5xxx kms and all that jazz.

But I wish someone could tell me the reason for the fault!

What about the first 3 free service

[phamilyman]

Did you ever realize you had gained in resale?

There are other ways to have the question asked on team-bhp and an answer gotten!

Isnt it the -ve terminal of the battery which is always disconencted when the ECU needs to be reset? Could someone enlighten if disconnecting the +ve terminal would make a difference? I'm stumped.
