SCT it's under special / advanced features. I'd venture its something similar on nguage. I do recall earlier firmware versions on the nguage didn't have it but was added later.

I recently got on my car and the check engine light flashed a few seconds and went away. I went to a buddy's mechanic shop and he pluged a scanner in and it gave a P0300 code which was a cylinder misfire. He then cleared it and now the check engine light is constantly on. I just tried a KAM reset and it didn't work. Car runs fine just the engine light is staying on. Does anyone know how to turn it off?

From a handheld tuner such as BDX or nGuage. Or if no tuner disconnect negative battery terminal for at least 30 min and should accomplish the same.

tried this on my Ecoboost, couldn't get it to reset, I bought a autophix 7150 I think it was, for like 80 bucks. it had KAM reset on it. was a little plugin obd2 scanner

Are you saying the removal of the negative cable didn't work or are you saying using a tuner didn't work?

idk why but just wouldn’t work

The auto fix worked. Random you can buy Autophix 7150 for half the price of amazon, just takes awhile shipping. Used to be half off anyway from aliexpress

Both was identical

The Autophix actually gave me codes the other stuff didn’t display, I had a misfire issue that auto fix fixed on top of kam reset, worked like a charm

the kam reset is ok but get a forscan the resets work a lot better it's not expensive

Explain please.

This. Computers are incredibly dumb, they have to be told what to do. An ecm is no different. Bad data on how to respond to an input leads to a bad ouput/response. A conversation with your tuner about drivability tweaks would serve you better.

Exactly...

Sounds like tune issues.

Any negatives to doing a KAM reset? I've had my Steeda intake and tune for a few weeks now, and I've maybes driven the car for a total of 2hrs since having the parts fitted. Had it on the dyno recently and AFR was apparently all OK. Do we think it has relearned, or should I for good measure, do a KAM reset just to be safe? I have the SCT X4 handset.

Thanks.

It will just relearn the learned variables. Takes 30 seconds on the handheld vs 30 min disconnecting the battery.

Did you figure it out?

I am running a flex tune and after every fill I have to do a KAM reset. The car learns the fuel before it empties the lines.

Does it reset the learned fuel? Do you do it after it learns from the after a fill up? So, go through the learning process twice per fillup?
