Anyone can reset the ecu simply by disconnecting the battery. Please note: radio presets will also be cleared.

That's interesting. My car had 2 miles on the odometer when we picked it up.
It must have had a very odd and traumatic "birth" on the treadmill at the factory.:-)
Based on your comment, I wonder if it would be worthwhile for ALL owners to reset the ECU (disconnect the battery) after coddling the car for the 1000 mile break in period, so it can learn our REAL style of driving?
Just a thought.
