Do I have to reprogram my car if I remove battery negative terminal whenever I'm carrying out maintenance, the only effect I noticed thereafter are radio and sound settings erasure, Except I didn't take notice of other things

The truth of the mater is that, I don't even know this and I have own a car since 2015.
I bought a new battery about weeks ago and the only thing I changed was my charging fuse when i keep getting charge error system check . I only upgraded the fuse to 15amp

jceesquare:
In the context of the discussion, you do not need to reprogram your battery management system (if your car is equipped with one) when you disconnect the negative terminal.
You should reprogram when you replace an old battery with a new one so the ECU commands the alternator to charge it properly.

Your car needs its BCM and Charge management system re programmed, its a 5 mins job with the right tool. The fact that your car has a charging fuse, it means it has a charge management system. The charge system learn the state of your battery and charges as such, hence its called intelligent charge management system if you diagnose its code. In an ordinary man word, your car is charging your new battery like the Old one but the system is receiving voltage of a new full battery.SO what the programming does is tell the charging system that this is a new battery charge it as such, its that basic and simple.

What make, model and year of car is this?

The answer to this question will determine the appropriate esponse.

However, see below.

Generally, if you are reinstalling the same battery, you do not need to reprogramme.

But for cars that do not require reprogramming (and yes there are multitudes of them), you don't need to bother yourself.

What car are we talking about here?

Please stop. All cars have at least a fuse for the alternator, does not mean all cars receives commands from the ECU.
You drive a BMW and I understand your obsession with this because it's compulsory, but not all cars require this.

erico2k2:
Calm down and just digest what I wrote, we get emotionally carried away sometimes that we lose focus on the subject matter,
try and look at what I wrote and do the research. On the battery terminals, There is a small black bos size of a matches box,. There is a Big fuse inside. I have seen most roadside mechanics take this out in the name of tropicalization. This is the fuse that controls the charge unit. I am talking of the Battery terminal fuse boss. All in that Pic are for Toyota cars.
NB,I think the last one is for BMW, cos it looks like mine Also you are wrong, you dont know me,I don't only drive a BMW, I also have two toyota brands, and a Land rover brand..The issue of charging is not limited to just BMWs.

9icetoo:
Upgraded?

What fuse rating was there before?
What was the recommended fuse rating?

Which car is this?

The storyline is that when the old battery wqs getting dead due to battery juice running dry i began to receive check charge error messsge but i didnt throw in on battery, i was attacking alternator which turns out the guy was innocent with 13.5v output. So i bought new battery but error charge wont go away. 10amp was recommended and I continue to struggle with the check charge error even after I changed the battery. However, i didnt do any reprogramming, My rewire put 15amp which stopped the charge error but I asked it to be removed and follow recommended fuse rating calculation. After we removed it and put 10amp, the error message resurfaced. At this point I can't continue to stop and restart car as I used to do which was my self help to help clear the error message that will later pipped up after 5km drive was the reason I settled with the 15amp. However, The battery there is 75amp 12v ford edge v6 2011 the bigger size

jceesquare:
NOT ALL CARS HAVE THAT KIND OF TERMINALS and NOT ALL CARS REQUIRE HAVING THEIR BATTERY REPROGRAMMED WHEN YOU REPLACE THEM.
This thing no hard to understand na, why the back and forth on it nna?

Thank you someone got the Gist at the End, I don't know why bro upstairs is struggling with this one.Bro this is where the road side Merch kills your car, cos all of a sudden you car can go to limp mode or smoke cos your fuel air mix ratio is thrown into kaumatuas, check Engine light on etc, they will diagnose running stomach into cancer. Unless someone who knows what they are doing with a good programmer investigate, the problem will multiply.

U are ignorant, U cant even contribute anything rather argue aimlesly,if you was in the right frame of mind you would have seen where he mentioned the 2011 car.Bro please go back to what you know how to do. Stop embarrassing yourself on here, we have moved pass here

Mrtorquewrench, rest.

You ask basic questions first before prescribing solutions. Before you treat malaria with hypertension drugs. 2011 what? Keke?

Are we moving the timeliness from 2015 to 2011 now?

Rest.

Follow the step in this link. https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/15548-2012-dead-battery-procedure/

If you have someone who has the appropriate scan tool and want to reprogram the BMS, it's OK. If not, follow the steps in the link. Leave car undisturbed for 8 hrs after installing the new battery and you should be fine.

However, you guys are all brilliant contributors here, you have been creating your invaluable time to do research to help solve unknown people car problems. Pls let us not fight or create aspersion, @erico2k2 and 9icetoo,jcesquare. You guys are a doing good jobs.

@eriko2k2 any idea how to go about this?


My Honda accord 2000 V6 transmission blinks D4 when driving. It is lazy on first gear (1) and moves well on subsequent one

Scanning with a scan tool threw up 2 codes under the A/T section.
-45-01 Shift Malfunction.
- 41-01 Incorrect Gear Ratio.

How do I fix this? I won't mind any mechanic recommendations here on Lagos mainland that can work on it.

My Toyota Camry 2001 (Envelope) has been of late having issues.

I've personally scanned it with my scanner and my Mechanic has done all he thinks and there's no solution in sight yet.

When I start the car it works fine for a moment and afterwards the whole system changes and the car (RPM) drops to almost zero and shaky.

I've changed the Air Mass Sensor,Fuel pump, injector Nozzles, Serviced the injector system.

Now the engine temperature rises in a very short while and produces black smoke from the exhaust.

I have attached the screenshot from the Scans and readings too

Please Help a Brother.
P.S. I just serviced the car too
