As an American, I would say: If your Chevy Cobalt's computer starts acting weird, your first step should be checking for error codes using an OBD II scan tool. If the scan comes back clear, you can try resetting the computer. To do this, disconnect both battery cables and touch them together to drain any stored electricity. Keep them disconnected for about ten minutes to allow for a full reset. This usually resolves computer issues and allows for a fresh start.

    Here's a paraphrased version: Before working on the car, make sure the engine is turned off. To safely reset the car's computer, you should remove the positive battery terminal and touch the cable to a bolt on the strut tower for about 5 to 10 minutes. After that time, you can reattach the positive terminal to the battery.

    Before unhooking and connecting the battery terminals together, should I first start the car and let it run? Or can I simply connect the battery terminals without starting the car?
