Hello, Im new to the forums. Id been doing some research, but still havent figured it out. I know they are two ways: removing the battery negative cable or removing the ecu fuse. I actually want to reset my ecu from my car by removing the fuse. Just one problem, I'm having trouble deciding which one is the correct fuse I need to take out in order to reset ECU. Help ?

Specifics: I have a 2001 Honda Accord lx Auto transmission 4 cylinder.

Thanks in advance

 

In earlier models (94-97) the BackUp fuse (7.5A) in underhood fuse box resets ECU. If you can't find that fuse, try looking on Autozone for online fuse box diagram.

good luck

 

TexasHonda for you reply.

Apparently I don't have any (7.5A) in under-hood fuse box.

On the driver's side and passenger side I do indeed have alot of (7.5A) fuses.
Is there a chance for my car model, the fuse I'm looking is one of these two sides ? If anyone has info that can help me, please go ahead.

 

Turn the ignition switch OFF, and remove the No.13 CLOCK BACKUP fuse (7.5 A ) (A) from the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box (B) for 10 seconds

 

Yes, 1998-2002 it's fuse #13 in the right-side-dashboard fusebox (near the right-front door hinges).

 

It is indeed #13 fuse Clock/Back up on the Passenger side fuse box.

Thank You, it worked and everything went according to plan. Once again, thanks

 

Can any of you guys tell me where can I find the rest or fuse on my 99 Accord

Thanks redbull

 

Just a quick thanks. I just did this and it worked. My care is a 2001 Honda Accord 4-door, 4cyl engine, LX. 280K miles. It's been off road for a very long time ( 7 years?).

I just reregistered it and restarted it. It was running with a hesitation, jittering intermittently. Another post said it was the ECU that needed a reset if I had let the battery go flat. I had. But, that other post made incorrect (for my model) references to the fuse box.

You're post here matched the fuse boxes this car has. There is another fuse in the under-dash fuse box on the driver side labeled for the ECU but I did NOT remove that fuse. I only removed the clock fuse in the under-dash fuse box on the passenger side as you instructed. I took it for a ten minute test drive up and down some serious hills and it ran with no hesitation.

Thanks again.
