Hi all, I can't find anything on this in any threads so here goes.
I want to weld a new tail pipe on my 2001 AUII Futura and was wondering if I should disconnect battery? If so, what sort of problems will/could I come up against once I reconnect battery? Any problems??? Battery would only be disconnected for a very short time. Thanks regards Rick. |

youll need the code for your stereo if you disconnect.
apart from that, i cant think of anything else that would be affected. |

Hi Blackers10,
I did a search in here and found how to do the ECU reset procedure for my AUII. Thanks mate and thanks to the others for their input. Rick. |

Hi again,
All went well with the tailpipe welding. Didn't have to reset ECU as battery only unhooked for very short time, just had to recode the radio/cd player. Thanks for your help. Cheers Rick |
