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.

1. Turn the key on (don't start the engine)
2. Wait for the CEL light to go back off after 5 seconds just as a check that the ECU is up and running normally.
3. 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.
