...basically the benefits is that at the same time it can diagnose the car whats the problem and might not....and if there a problem with the engine ...(e.g the rev doesnt feel right ke...or the idle not that stable ke....)...it can correct that kinda thingy la.....
..my old car pun ade reset the ECU evry 10k.......the engine feels a bit calmer and smoother.....
well..thats my 2 cents la.....
