Its 10 seconds, release. Repeat three times. Totals 30 seconds.

Im so confused.... i tried resetting the pcm again, this time holding the key for 30 full secs. did that reset it or not?

 

You can also press the brake peddle or head lights switch to ensure the residual power is out as well as the key turn.

You will know because when you start it the engine will be harder starting (Only the first time start up) you run for the 10-15 seconds without touching the gas then shut down, and start again, and you will hear a difference. You will not see anything. Just read the thread and follow the instructions. We all might say things a little different but it accomplishes the same result.

This is probably better but either way.

To reset your engine codes:
Remove the negative terminal of your battery (10mm wrench).
Turn your ignition key to START and hold it there for about 15 seconds.
Turn your ignition key to OFF and remove it.
Connect the negative terminal of your battery.
Start but do not hit the throttle. Idle for about 10/15 seconds then turn off.
Restart the truck and drive as usual. It will take at least 12 starts and 48 miles to fully retune the computer. Hard Codes leave a shaddow for 40 full cold starts.

 

30 seconds and step on the brakes for good measure. To drain out any remaining electrical charge in the system.

 

Sounds like a wiener......LOL

 

So we are inventing new steps now eh? Hummmm. (no pun intended)

Why not turn on the headlights, honk the horn and play with the stereo too while we're at it?

Now that's a hell of a good idea!
