-====== V3 Hard Reset ====== 
- 
-In some rare situations, it may be necessary to do a hard reset of your V3 flash device (reset back to original defaults). ​ The following describes how to do that. 
- 
-  - Turn the ignition on (don't start the engine) 
-  - Wait for the CEL light to go back off after a few 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. ​ Pause for just a moment between on/off switches (about a 0.5-second pause, but not more than 1.5 seconds). 
- 
-Once you have done that, the ECU should reset back to the hard coded defaults in the chip. 
- 
- 
-Additional notes: 
- 
-  - The vehicle speed must be zero. 
-  - ThrotPos must exceed 72%.  (Verify by logging.) 
-  - Beginning with the ignition on but the engine not running, the minimum sequence is:  turn the key off (first time) for 1/2 second, on for 1/2 second, off (second time) for 1/2 second, on for 1/2 second, off (third time) for 1/2 second, then on and leave on. (The speed of the off-on should be about like a clock going tick-tock or a bit faster. ​ Failure to reset usually is caused by toggling the key too slowly.) 
-  - If you initiate logging prior to performing the reset sequence, the logging will halt (the seconds counter will stop updating) the instant the reset happens.
