It's very rare, but every once in a while a user will report that their 1G car either reports crazy values for various settings in DSMLink or might not even start the car at all. It's happened, probably, 4 or 5 times in about 2 years or so that we're aware of. When this happens, you may need to do a hard reset of the 1G memory module.

The following describes how to perform a hard reset of the 1G memory module.

- Turn the key on (don't start the engine) - Wait for the CEL light to go back off after 5 seconds just as a check that the ECU is up and running normally. - Press the throttle to the floor and keep it there as you cycle the ignition key off and then back on 3 or 4 times. I usually go for 4 but 3 is the minimum.

Once you have done that, the ECU should reset back to the hardcoded defaults in the chip.
