    Hi all,

    I want to clean up my battery terminals so need to disconnect it. I had errors thrown up while driving so think it was a battery issue, all solved itself after leaving the car off for a few minutes.

    I read online that a battery disconnect resets the ECU and also requires a TBA.

    Can anyone confirm if this is necessary, or does it not matter?

    Is there a way to reset it without VCDS, some posts say to just put ignition on and floor the accelerator for like 10 seconds or something.

    it is a 2016 Polo 1.0 TSI.

    Thank you
    Ji

    It should be done but isn’t always necessary.

    Ok thanks crasher, guess I can risk it and hope all is well when I disconnect it, lol.

    How can I know if it's throttle cable or DBW, & more specifically which connection method ? (UDS, KWP-2000 / CAN or KW-1281?)

    I have access to VCDS at my dads house, so that should tell me, right?
