To reset the computer of a 2011 Ford F-150 effectively, you can disconnect the negative battery cable, switch on the headlight for around 30 seconds, switch off the headlight, and then reconnect the battery cable. This action restores the ECM to its default factory settings. If you're wondering about the importance of a car's ECM, it serves as the primary computer managing various engine performance and drivability functions. The ECM gathers data from the engine's sensors to adjust engine spark and fuel for optimal power and efficiency. Generally, replacing an engine control module (ECM) costs between $930 and $1,010.

I was worried this would happen - my car battery died and I had to jump-start it. But now the heater only works when I'm driving, even though the engine is warmed up and all the settings are correct. I was hoping I could fix it without disconnecting the battery because it's freezing cold outside. I'll wait until morning and then disconnect it at 5:00 a.m. so I can get a little rest.
