Can I reboot the ECM on a 2010 RSS?

[MARKSRSS]

Can the ECM be rebooted without having to use the BUDS system? Will a reboot fix an ongoing P0600 code?

Have you checked your battery ? Lots of Spyder error codes can be traced back to a failing battery.

No, because a Spyder ECM doesn't run on Windows.

So seriously now, there are 4 variants of the P0600 code for the 2010 RS.
- Communications fault detected by the ECM
- Communication fault with the VCM
- Communications fault with the Cluster
- Security coding fault with the Cluster (ie wrong Cluster)

Along with what the Marner said - and yes definitely check your battery, terminal connections, grounds, corrosion, etc - troubleshooting steps involve checking for wiring issues in the harness, a faulty fuse F9, (and others) and taking a lot of continuity readings between the ECM, VCM and Cluster. BUDS will help you to identify which variant that you have, unless you can tell by other symptoms. BUDS does not "reboot". That essentially happens every time you power-up. Bottom line, you fix an ongoing code by repairing the ongoing problem that is causing it. Good Luck.

I was taught that at in the 1960's as an USCG ET and National Cash Register in 1969 and on, in classes on mechanical and electronic machines.
