Well since the s/c threw a brake and battery light, I need to know how to do it. I tried this:

Turn the ignition to 'On' turn clockwise to a stop, wait 2 seconds, turn counterclockwise to a stop, then turn the ignition off.


It did nothing for the brake and battery lights. Anybody know how to get rid of them?

 

you have to do it twice

key in, turn the screw then screw it back, count the blinks then repeat turning the screw again THEN start the car and it will reset. if you dont then it sill still be in diagnostic mode.

 

Check your other thread, somethings up with your alternator, you need to check that out!

 

Nothing is wrong with it, The supercharger belt shredded and threw these lights. Belt is not slipping. Im not after the CEL I just want the others off. I unhooked the battery just now. Going to let it sit for what......10 hours!!!

 

The ECU has nothing to do with the brake/alternator lights. They come on when your belt is either gone or not turning the alternator pulley. Check the belt and tensioner. If you haven't replaced the belt yet, the lights won't go out until you do.

 

The belts have been replaced. The motor was running when the s/c belt shredded. THIS is why I have these lights. I just need to reset the ECU.

 

Battery off for a couple minutes should do it.

 

Just in case:

Have you tried to see if it turns off when the car starts?

The lights are always on when you have the key in and turned forward and the car isn't started yet.

I'm sure you tried that, and know that, but just in case....

 

I tried this. thanks though. The car is on its long awaited 10 hour reset time.

 

I think it is your alterator too,check your belt and connector on your alterator.

 

Please listen to what I am saying. The belt shredded and there is no belt on the car. The car is still running. Motor is on and I am driving. Therefore the alternator is not spinning, thus this light.

 

Put a belt on so your alternator spins. That's why those 2 red lights are on. The car thinks the alternator is dead.

You are soooo smart!!!

 

And so are you! For doing this:

"Turn the ignition to 'On' turn clockwise to a stop, wait 2 seconds, turn counterclockwise to a stop, then turn the ignition off.
It did nothing for the brake and battery lights."

Here's a smiley for ya

That is what somebody told me to try. (mtrai760) . You think everybody is stupid? I have a belt on my car. I just want to reset it so they will go away. If you cant help then why reply?

 

The brake and alternator lights have NOTHING to do with the ECU. If you reset your ECU and do nothing else, your two lights will still be lit. To get them to turn off, you can:[list=a][*]Find out what's wrong with your alternator or belt, and fix it, or...[*]Disassemble your gauge cluster and remove the offending bulbs.[/list=a]
Nothing you do to your ECU will get rid of your brake or alternator light.

 

Because I was trying to help. Apparently, there is some stupidity going on here, considering that you couldn't see that.

Well guess I will just have to pull these codes off the ecu or whatever. It is about 2 hours away from being the full 10 hour reset time for the car. Guess we got mixed up seeing you said put a belt on and I had posted above you saying I already had the belt on and gave a reason for the problem.

 

shogun, is there a belt on your car or not???

I'm confused!

Yes everything is on and working. I just have lights on. Car has been like this for 2 months.

 

So there is a belt directly underneath where the SC used to be, correct? (There are 2 belts on the car) - just making sure.

 

Would the car run for 2 months without the two belts? Well I think it would without the P/S belt but not the water pump,alternator, etc.




Yes both are on.

 

So, uh, how exactly do you pull codes and reset the "service engine soon" light?


please....

Hey, don't get snippy with me, Wayne - I'm just trying to eliminate possibilities.

Earlier you said:
Thus my question - you said you have no belt on there, and now you say you do....make up your mind.

As far as I know - The only way that light ever comes on is:

a) belt is too loose or off
b) the alternator is dead

There is nothing else to it - the ECU has nothing to do with those lights.

 

"Nothing is wrong with it, The supercharger belt shredded and threw these lights. Belt is not slipping. Im not after the CEL I just want the others off. I unhooked the battery just now. Going to let it sit for what......10 hours!!!"



"The belts have been replaced. The motor was running when the s/c belt shredded. THIS is why I have these lights. I just need to reset the ECU."



I also said these two things which would tell you that there is a belt on the car. Im not tryin to be snappy with you, just please start reading from the top of the thread instead of the middle.

 

haha - I was sayign the "snippy" thing as a joke man - calm down.

I did read the whole thread - at one point you say you don't have belts, and then later you say all the other things indicating you do have belts. I was trying to get you to clear that up.

 

Found it. A 3 way harness thing has a yellow wire snapped. Thanks Ians!!!!

 

No problem. I thought that might be it.

(We were talking over Messenger and I called it, in case anyone was wondering.)

ok i give you alittle credit.......




j/k thanks....

 

I told you how to reset the ECU, not how to get rid of brake and battery lights, those are due to your alternator.

 

WTF? I told you to look for a wire cut or something wrong with your alternator?

 

Ok ok , a little credit to you too.......


thanks
