    But that's the partial part he needs to reset. That's all it takes.

    I'm sure OP will be fine, but it worries me that someone might be touching potentially spark generating things while filling up with gas.

    It is hard to say. It is certainly an easy starting point.

    I used to do terminal touches when I first flashed OV Tunes. It was good enough, but I had some issues with a tune.

    After the Resets were added to the flash program, I tried the DTC and LV Reset (I know that any reader can reset DTCs), and it made a big difference for me. One of the differences was an MPG bump.

    That is just my experience with the stuff and why I suggested it. Like I said though, the best place to start is the easiest. Asking for an LV reset at a dealer might be difficult with the questions and raised eyebrows. :D

    Haha I was thinking the same thing. Maybe fill up then pull into the next parking lot before you start your underhood welding practice session.
