for adaptation reset could do a hard reset as per below
How to reset all ecu's

this procedure is called a power latch

firstly turn on the ignition not engine running,
open bonnet remove battery positive lead and then turn off ignition.
then touch the positive lead to earth,this powers down all ecus and resets erasing intermittent faults in the process.then reconnect the battery lead.
if the vehicle doesnt start straight away leave the ignition on for 2-3 mins as it has gone into anti scanning mode.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
upon starting the vehicle DO NOT TOUCH THE THROTTLE allow vehicle to idle until cooling fans cut in to allow the engine ecu to reset correctly and reprogramme the learning curve,then drive in all gears upto 4,000 rpm accellerating steadily.

as stated this resets all ecus so any electrical faults caused by conflict errors in programming will be erased and fixed.if the fault is still evident there is a problem that will need further diagnosis

I don’t get this, when the positive is disconnected on a gen2 I cannot turn the ignition off as the key is locked and start stop button is deactivated? Any hints please?

But this contradicts the process, ignition on disconnect then ignition off is impossible

 

[Scudder]

So are you saying that 3 minutes regardless of ignition off makes no odds? I still don't get it? With my key in it will never be ignition off when the positive is reconnected

No mike that is not how it was described in original post but will do that next. You need to clarify that anywhere else it is posted to keep it right, thanks again
