Disconnecting neg. battery terminal - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Bobsled · 11-06-2012, 05:03 PM

So I've made a few mods to my 2012 V6 with a few more to go. I want to pull the negative battery terminal to have the car relearn everything. Besides reprogramming the radio stations (and prolly reset the clock) what else can I expect?

I forgot to add it's a 1LT/RS w/ the connectivity package.

TIA

I disconnected mine and all I had to do was recalibrate the windows. It takes like 30 seconds. All my presets were fine.

Radio presets are safe.

You'll need to re-index the windows and update the clock.

Thanks. I'll read up.

Is it necessary to do this for a axle-back exhaust?

If you do any welding on that axle back. YES.

What would be the difference if I welded it or clamped it? I mean wouldn't you either have to disconnect it or not for a axle back not wether it's welded or clamped right?

I did that when I installed my CAI and now my Camaro thinks it's 10/19/09 (it's birthdate)

Change it through the menu? Or I that doesn't work disconnect the battery again?

So I was told no reason to that the lfx engine relearns with out. Fuse pull or battery disconnect. Should I do this with my cai inc. I have noticed over past few weeks I seem to be climbing to better gas milage.

Now that you say that I believe your right the LFX engine does relearn on its own I don't believe it requires a battery disconnect or fuse pull

I was told it may take some time for it to learn, whereas it will be quicker if you disconnect.
