it usually takes about 5 seconds of a battery being out to reset an ECU,

so yes.

Your reset the ECU by taking out the hazard fuse, not the battery. Don't believe me? just check a Helms manual on how to reset the ECU.

Half correct, you can also do it by disconnecting the battery.

Re: did my ecu reset itself? (wc300zx)

the program will remain. If anything any fault codes will reset.
