Resetting the ECU

Is there any benefit to resetting the ECU after you've bought a used car. I read somnewhere that the ECU 'learns' the way you drive and alters to give you best economy etc. Is this true?

Re: Resetting the ECU

Yes the ECU adapts and learns the best settings in quite a short time but then sems to not bother to update its settings to allow for wear and tear.

Resetting the ECU certainly made a big improvement to mine as the learning process had fallen asleep

Have a look at Post no. 8 here
