After you do the EGT CEL fix, just start the car 4 or 5 times and the light will reset. Worked for me on MY02 WRX.

Not just you mate, quite a few people said the same thing.. Obviously the different MY ecu's react differently in these situations..!

Anyhow, thanks again for the fix..!

You can reset by disconnecting the battery for say 10 mins which will do it.

Hi Bob

Sorry to be a pain I just wondered what happens to the Bugeye ECU when you disconnect the batery. ??

I thought you lost the "learning" and the IAM but the CELS (current and historic) remained as they are stored in flash RAM.

Only 10 mins..! Thought it had to be overnight at least..!

Bob, given that it looks like Optimax has been improved would it be best to have my map adjustment done with or without OB..? Original map was done with..

All sorted with David for the 2nd BTW..
