I was hauling a horse trailer and my truck had a meltdown, check engine light came on along with the wrench and check 4x4. My truck never had any issues when this happened, no issues with over heating, it wasn’t in 4 wheel drive, everything was fine. The check engine light went away but my truck just didn’t seem right took it to the mechanic he couldn’t find anything. But I knew something was off in my transmission. I did this reset and it’s like driving a different truck. My check 4x4 wrench is still on, but that is a different issue that will be addressed this week. The problem I felt with my transmission is completely gone now and my gas mileage has improved! Thanks!!!

Hi, I just watched your video and got me wondering if this could help me. I own a 2017 ford explorer sport. My lights were left on and drained my battery. I received a jump however noticed from that point my gas mileage average went down drastically. I use to get 19 - 23 miles per gallon. Now I get 10 - 12.5 per gallon. I went to Ford and had them replace my battery. Now they are saying that the gas issue should be solved if I ok them to do a PCM, BCM, and IPC factory reset which is not covered under warranty and will cost close to $600. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

That method has been proven not to really work because you aren’t draining the power left inside the PCM also none as your Power Control Module. The best way to do this is to simply disconnect the negative side of the battery only and connect a wire with a clamp to the positive side of the battery and the other to the negative side terminal not to the negative side but to the terminal wire you just disconnected, you should leave it for maybe 10-15minutes. And do the rest like the guy in the video said. Drive it around for a few days not punching the gas, so the system can self learn shifting points.
