Clearing Fault Codes?

[Rust]

I have a 16v ecotec Calibra & I am trying to clear the fault codes from the ECU. According to the FCR & the Haynes Fault Finder Manual all you have to do to clear the memory is to disconnect the battery for 5 mins or take out the ECU fuse (I presume the correct fuse is one of the fuses in the fuse box in the engine bay) for a few seconds. Neither of these two options has cleared the Fault Code memory.

Anyone out there know what I am doing wrong.

Cheers,

Rusty.

you can only clear the fault codes if you have eliminated the faults

I'm guessing here but if u have the same ECU as me then u need to turn the ignition on for 5 seconds then back off. Do this 30 times to clear it. But it all depends on which ECU you have. Or goto vauxhall and pay them to to it [img]/sad.gif[/img]

hope this help

ALso that dont work with the ectotec ...some you can clear the faults by turning the igntion on and off for IIRC 30 times
