Fuse for ECU?

Is there a fuse that cuts the power to the ECU? My Activa ran very low on fuel earlier, only on the drive, so low that the pressure dropped and it threw a code! Rather than disconnect the battery and then reset the radio code and time etc, be easier to pull a fuse out for 10 minutes and refit.

The warning lamp should reset after five (I think) restarts. It does on my C5 and Xsara if I misjudge the fuel levels.

Unplugging the ECU is easy and will achieve the same as removing a fuse.

Thanks Richard, i did think of that but thought it might be a wise thing to shut the power off first, if you dont see a problem done this way then that is what i shall do!

Works fine and a damn site easier than disconnecting the battery!
