I was having the anti role bar bushes changed. But while at the garage they checked why the EML engine management light was on and had the car connected up for free to find out what it was. The fault was the throttle position sensor you could hear the spring inside if you knock it. Also slight rough idle sometimes as well.
I have changed the part and the car runs better now. But the eml still on can the ecu be hard reset to remove the code and knock the fault code off?
Whats the best way to reset the ecu on the 306 hdi.
Thanks

Diagnostics 101, always clear down faults after reading/noting them. Did the garage do this?
You might want to just ignore it for a week or so and see if the EML goes off eventually. This can happen automatically when such faults are cured. Otherwise, it's back to the diagnostics.
