How do i reset the ECU?

How do i reset the ECU? I cant find a fuse in the fuse box that says ECU on it. Which fuse is it? Does disconnecting the battery reset it? Any help greatly appreciated!

Is there a fuse for the ECU to pull and reset?

Make sure you have your radio code/navi code handy. Also I think pulling the clock/back up fuse does it too but I would just pull the neg batt cable to be sure. And when you do, wait 5 min, put it back then wait another 5 min when the car is running so the ECU can re-learn.

Happened to get a call from my boy Mike, head tech at the local Acura dealer while reading this thread. You lucked out. He said the way they do it is to take both terminals off the battery touch them together count to twenty. Reinstall cables then run the car until the radiator fans kick on. After they are on, run the car for 10 more mins so the ecu can re-learn the idle. That should do the trick, no need for a fuse, or relay removal. Like stated above make sure you have your codes because they will be gone once you do this. Good luck...
