How do i reset my computer 04 malibu maxx
anyhelp would be greatfull
thanks in advance

 

Can you be more specific, describe the problem? What "computer" are you referring to? Were you playing with the PCM tuning or something?

 

Main computer reset I get the service engine light on with the traction control light and abs light this all started after my breaks were done and when it got cold outside -20C i did get a coolent light on my DIC then i filled the coolent and it went away for a couple of days then it came back on when I i started to drive then it came on when i put the car into reverse and now it comes on instantly when i start the car. I tryed to find the transmission dipstick to see if i need a top up but only found the refill cap, i dont think it's the gas cap either.
As i said in the begining the lights come on but NO messages on the DIC ?

 

Yours has a Check Engine Light (engine icon) which is turned on for emission related malfunctions and Service Vehicle Soon (car with wrench), miscellaneous problems. From the sound of it, the former, malfunction indicator is on. There should be stored trouble code(s) that can pinpoint or narrow down the problem. If you don't have means to read them out, it'd be best to take it in and get it checked out at a shop before more damage is done.

P.S. You can clear the PCM (whatever the dynamic memory portion of it) by disconnecting the battery negative terminal and leave it off for at least 10 minutes.

 

Well I went out and had my car computer scanned and the code that came up was P0826C apparently it was a malfunction with my up and down circut switch, on my 3.5L V6 automatic transaxle I have a manual +/- button on my gear shift I knew it was there but I never used it cuz i thought it was useless.
I was wondering if i could disconnect it and if that will get rid of the service light also with the service light on my ABS and Traction Control are disable or will it diable it self and give me back my ABS and TC?
Please Help

 

So, the Service Vehicle Soon indicator is on then? I don't think you can get rid of P0826 by disconnecting the TAP shift circuit since the PCM expects to see a certain resting voltage signal on it. I don't see how that single trouble code would cause the ABS and TC disable, either. Consider a visit to a service department or another shop that's better equipped.
