Computer Reset on SS

Does anyone know if it is possible to reset the computer on the SS without taking it into the dealer? The reason I ask is that I have a 2008 SS with a Stage Kit. About three months after the stage kit was installed I started experiencing problems with the car running roughly and after some investigation by my dealer determined the issue was related to the connectors of the stage kit and subsequently soldered them. Since then the main problem went away but I suspect that the computer adjusted itself during this time and has not completely relearned after the fix was applied. My car does not seem to run as strong as it once did in first gear (5-speed).

I would like to reset the computer so that it can learn from scratch and see if that corrects my problem. I did see the Camaro forum that you could pull three fuses and that reset the computer for them. Is there a simple procedure like that for HHR SS owners?

Best

You have 2 options.

1. disconnect the battery for a little while.
2. Pull the ecm fuse lockated in the passenger side kick panel fuse box. You can look at the fuse diagram in your owners manual to see which one it is.

I have done it both ways and it solved a low boost problem I was having about 6 months after I had the stage 1 kit installed.
