I would think so. That may be your issue.

Does anybody know for sure?

If it's not in some sort of NVRAM, I'd think that the setpoints would revert to a set of factory defaults instead of nothing. The current values would probably reset to zero if not in NVRAM. Working on another project or I'd look it up (should be in FSM somewhere).

It does, when I had work done on my audio system everything was reset, from the clock to the rev light.

The only thing I had done was the front brakes replaces. Slotted Rotors, Steel Brake Lines and Pads. I dont think they would have to remove or disconnect the batter for that, or to bleed the brakes.

so after that post made me paranoid, I went directly to the car and checked the oil. I last changed it myself a couple thousand miles ago and as I expected it was EXACTLY where it should be. Hasn't lost even a single drop. its NOT normal for any car to burn oil, ever, no exceptions. Thats just what people say that dont want to accept their car has a minor problem. Even on my old 02 WRX people would say "oh thats normal" when it leaks oil. NO ITS ******* NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! its a design flaw in the subarus case in the head gaskets, easily fixed and now it doesnt leak/burn a drop. If your car burns or leaks oil ITS A PROBLEM. Hell even my first cars built boss 302 "did myself" didnt burn oil and thats a 45 year old engine, so the high performance statement isnt an excuse, its avoidance. stop being lazy. Im an engineer, who goes to school time as well even on weekends and I still have time to lift up the hood and pull a dip stick for 30 seconds, because I care about the condition of my car. Dont rely on on a reminder from the dash computer, thats just proof you dont give 2 ***** about the car. Why not just hire your own personal mechanic to sleep in the garage with the car 24/7, **** it.... just let him drive it too so you dont have to "bother" with it.

Sorry man but you are full of it! You say I dont care about my car.. Just like you said, you have never had a car ever burn oil.. Well, guess what mr Genius, neither have I. I have owned about 20 different kinds of cars and none have either. Why I am supposed to sit there and think this one would too. I baby my car so much people make small jokes about me.. Stop talking out your A$$ about something you have no clue on. Just because you are an engineer does not mean you know everything.. Im an engineer too.. funny, I work for an oil company..

I drive my car hard sometimes,, up and down the canyon here near where I live... I am sure, if you drive it 100+MPH often it will burn something.
