    Will Disconnecting battery reset the ecu

    The reason i'm asking is because i've had my car REVO tuned and i'm planning on getting a sub and amp installed. Will disconnecting the battery mean i'll lose the REVO settings?

    Sorry if this has been already covered...i can't find it anywhere.

    Negative earth on these cars btw.

    To expand on Gavin's comment - the REVO tune is stored in what is called non-volatile memory in the ECU - non-volatile means the contents aren't lost if you take power away from the system.
    Nothing to see here...
