If you're experiencing problems, you'll need to address them through other means such as:
* Disconnecting the battery: This is often the first step people take to try and reset the computer. Disconnect the negative terminal for about 15-30 minutes. This will clear some volatile memory but it won't clear the learned data in the PCM. It's not guaranteed to solve all issues.
* OBD-II Scanner: A more effective way to diagnose and potentially clear codes is using an OBD-II scanner. This tool reads diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the PCM, allowing you to identify the specific problem and potentially clear the codes. This is better than simply disconnecting the battery because it addresses the actual problem.
* Professional Mechanic: If you're not comfortable with automotive diagnostics, the best approach is to take your Avenger to a qualified mechanic. They have the tools and expertise to properly diagnose and fix the issue.
Simply disconnecting the battery might seem like a quick fix, but often it's a temporary solution that doesn't address the root cause. Using an OBD-II scanner or seeing a mechanic will get you better results.
