Magnum SRT8 throttle reset

I just met a guy with an 06 Dodge magnum srt8, wicked fast car. That 6.1L v8 moves fast. Don't look as good as our cars, but the speed is there.

Anyway, we were talking about the way the car memorizes your driving habits, and I mentioned how I like to reset mine on occassion to get maximum performance, and he had never heard about that.

Anyway, long story short, he wants to know how to reset the throttle control thing on his 8. Is there an easy way to do it like we do the "turn the key, push the gas down" method?

I am not so sure their set up is a "drive by wire" set up like ours meaning if not, it will not work.

Re: Magnum SRT8 throttle reset

Also have a Magnum SRT (it is drive by wire)- only way I am familiar with is to pull #11 fuse for a minute or so.

Tell him to sign up over at LXForums.com - lots of info there.

Re: Magnum SRT8 throttle reset

I believe you can unhook the battery for a few minutes and all will be reset.
There is another way to do it with hitting the pedal X number of times, etc., but I can not recall the procedure.
