Hydractive ECU reset?

Post by noxati11 »

Hello, it is probably stupid question, but is it possible do reset ECU of hydractive without Lexia? I've tried find something here, but couldn't find any direct answers.
Thanks :) .

I think the answer is no. I believe that the blinking light feature is only found on very early cars (probably because the hydroactive ECU stores so many phantom faults).

I believe you are correct Mike.. Only a Lexia, an ELIT and maybe some very high-end diagnostic systems like the Sykes ACR-4 will do the job...
