[QUOTE="5201, post: 47476, member: 544"] Jarance, Actually, there is two reasons for me wanting to use the MODIC. Main reason, due to the TRANS PROGRAM error on my drive recently. Was told that my transmission solenoids may be at fault (hopefully the gearbox is still healthy). So with the MODIC, I can know for sure which soleniod to change (if necessary). Secondly, when I reset the oil change light with the diagnostic unit, I get an "E" reading from it. Managed to reset the oil lights, but the error still there. So while I am using the MODIC to check the gearbox, might as well use it to reset my alarms/errors as well. Trying to kill 2 birds with one MODIC... :D ;) Moots, What are the side effects of this manual reset?? Wont it mean that the ECU no longer have any memory?? Will it even reset my milage too?? :unsure: :unsure: Sorry if i asking silly questions, but i do worry abt the electronics in my car as i very not sufficient in electrical knowledges. :dunno: :dunno: Thnx all.
