The most efficient way to reset the 2011 Ford F-150 computer is to remove the negative battery cable and turn the headlight switch on for approximately 30 seconds, turn off the headlight switch and reconnect the battery cable, which takes the ECM back to the default factory settings.But what is the importance of a car ECM You may be wondering. It essentially functions as the main computer for many of the vehicle's engine performance and drivability functions. The ECM takes the information from the engine's various sensors, and uses that information to calculate and tune engine spark and fuel for maximum power and efficiency. The average cost for an engine control module (ECM) replacement is between $930 and $1,010.

I was afraid of that, battery went dead and had to jump start it and now the heater doesn't produce heat unless I'm driving down the road even though the engines warm in all controls set right. I was hoping I could do it without disconnecting the battery cuz it's freezing out in the twenties so I will wait till daylight and disconnect it it's now 5:00 a.m. In the morning and I need to get a little bit of sleep!
