Default Make ECU reset when starting up car

Is there any way to make something where when I start the car, the ECU is reset? I hate dealing with the transmission learning system, and the car keeps bogging down when I need power on demand.

Can I just modify the EFI fuse socket to make it drain every time I shut off the car?

The vehicle is telling you something is wrong [or there could be nothing wrong but a sensor gone bad].

I would suggest investigate and get it fixed.

Although you can carry an obdII and keep resetting it. And there are codes like knock sensor which will progressively will not be reset by obdII/power-cycle.

Dude resetting the ecu isnt going to fix your problem something is clearly wrong. What is your mileage? Have you dropped the transmission pan and replaced your filter yet?
