reset code on ford expedition

[sacsr]

I have read most of the threads on codes. My code came back p1451....I went back to the canister and found the wires were cut/chewed in half....I have reattached the wires...but still have the check service list on....I have done 3 new starts and drive aways....to see if it will reset..... any ideas?? Can I reset the code myself? If yes, How? Thanks

disconnect negative battery cable and turn the headlight switch on for about a half hour.

Heading out the door now to unhook the battery and turn on the lights!

Will let you know the results.

Well I am pretty sure the computer was reset.....drove it down the road then cut it off....when I turned it on again the service light came back on.....guess I am going to give up and let the dealer look at it tomorrow.

thanks

There's more than one valve.



Disconnect the battery for a half hour, -then reboot.
