Occasionally within this text, there are references to resetting the ECU. Avoid wearing man-made fabrics whilst performing this type of work if possible, since they tend to generate Static Electricity (suggest cotton or wool clothing). A stainless steel sink draining board fits this description, or a large sheet of aluminium kitchen foil. If you do not have the correct facilities then working on an earthed metal workbench can reduce the risk. Therefore you need to use extreme care should you need to work inside the ECU (e.g. The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is easily damaged by Static Electricity (ESD or Electro-Static Discharge). Never work on the ECU whilst it is plugged in, since this system runs continuously (performing diagnostics) even when the ignition is switched off. Never disconnect the ECU whilst the ignition is switched on, and especially not while the engine is running. There’s no such thing as a silly question, except the one you didn’t ask although you needed to! If anything is unclear then please do not hesitate to ask. Please take the time to completely read through all of these notes carefully before starting work.
