I probably shouldn't have done this process but I did the steamclean procedure which is on Maximadriver.com and now when I try to reset my ECU, it continues to blink. Am I doing something wrong? I did the procedure on vbxmaxmas website and nothing. Before I reset the unit it was giving me the error code 2: 13 = MAP/BARO SW Solenoid/Valve. Do you guys think its damaged? I have read all about this and nobody specified having this problem before. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

All OBD-2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes are four numbers, with the first number always 0 or 1. I don't understand what you mean by "error code 2: 13". Please elaborate.

Maybe I was reading it wrong. I got 2 slow and 13 fast. Will this help?

I just found what the problem was. In the instructions to reseting the ECU, it specifies to turn clockwise for 2 secs and then turn counter until it stops. This didn't work in my car. There is a blue line paint or drawn on my ECU and what I did was lined up the screw to match up with the line. This helped the problem.

yo dude

turn the screw clockwise all the way, wait 2 secs, turn it back counterclockwise all the way, the check engine lite should start blinking out your code. after you write your code down, turn the screw again clockwise all the way, wait 2 secs and turn it back counterclockwise all the way. you just reset the chip. the light should be off. you may need a new ox sensor if it goes back on again. the code will tell you front left or right bank or rear,etc., but the shops have scanners to check them to be sure which one is bad. bla bla bla. i would just replace them all if they are old.
