The method proposed here is quite simple, as it does not require special tools or electronic devices to be connected to the vehicle via the OBD port. Before proceeding with the reset, it is essential to visually check that there are no issues with the engine or its components, so once you are sure everything is functioning perfectly, you can apply this advice: disconnect the negative terminal of the 12-volt battery that powers the vehicle, wait a few minutes, and reconnect it. This will allow for a complete reset of the ECU.
