TPS replacement question

Hello again,

If you pull the ECU fuse out of your vehicle, it will die and as long as the fuse is out, it will not start either. This fuse is the protection device that protects your vehicle's ECU and if it is missing then there is an open in the ECU circuit and the ECU will not receive any voltage.

Thanks,
Alex

Okay. So if I pull it out and put it back in will it clear all the codes? Will I have to relearn anything once I put it back in?

The ECM has multiple power feeds so just pulling this fuse should not clear the codes. The only way to clear the codes is to disconnect the battery so the keep alive memory is erased due to no power. This normally takes about 15 minutes. Or use a scan tool to clear them, this is the only way to know for sure the codes are cleared.

Just reading through this post, we need to start a new one if we have progressed from the TPS. Only reason is, we need to keep them one topic per post so that others can find the answers to these questions if they have the same issue. Unfortunately they will not find an ECM answer under this heading.
