Calibrate gas pedal; turn key to on, wait for dash lights to go out, press pedal to the floor, release, turn car off, restart car and drive. Never read that this is a procedure from Dodge or a technical explanation of how this affects performance. Some people report a more responsive car, others no change. I've done it and have not noticed any difference. May have something to do with learning curve of computer. I think aggresive driving would accomplish the same thing.

If you want to reset the PCM, simply pull fuse number 11 under the hood. Pull the fuse, wait a few minutes then put it back. PCM reset and no messing with the rest of that crap..

The OBD II system (onboard diagnostic system) monitors the performance of the emissions, engine and automatic transmission control systems. The OBD II system will reset itself under normal driving after you disconnect the battery. There is a test you can complete to see if you OBD II system has reset after the battery has been disconected. If you have a 2005 Magnum please refer to pages 278, 279 and 280 of your manual. The manual gives a good explaination of the system and how to complete the test. I disconnected my battery to install a CAI and JET chip. I Performed the diagnostic test after I installed the negative battery terminal and the computer failed the test. I then drove the car to and from work the next day, which is 70 miles. I then tested the system and it passed(meaning the OBD II has reset itself for optimum performance). I figure Diamler wouldn't engineer a vehicle that would need a service dept. to update the computer system everytime the consumer diconnected the battery (This would be too much of a inconvinence). I am not a mechanic or technician but i've owned many BMW's and they were never sensitive to a simple battery disconnect. In my opinion Diamler Chrysler has started to engineer some of the best cars, trucks and suv's available. They are indeed going to please all the gearheads like myself and others, young and old when they release the Challenger. It will the rebirth of the muscle car era! It would be great if Diamler Chrystler would release some of the other muscle cars from the 60's and 70's. SEE YA!

I installed the OEM trailer wiring harness and disconnected the battery. After reconnecting, all i had to do was reset my 6CD radio presets and the clock. All the other selections in my convenience group and other equipment remained the same as before.
