Default Question regarding sensors

I recently replaced the AF sensors, O2 sensors and the MAF sensor on my wife's 2004 RX330. I was told that the dealer would have to reset the computer now. Is that true?

I'm not a Lex Tech but I have replaced everything you have and never had the computer reset. Car seemed to run as good or better.

its actually not a bad idea, but luckily you can do it yourself.

simply remove the negative battery terminal for about 15 minutes.

reattach and start the car, dont touch the gas pedal until the idle has come down to normal (about 5-10 minutes.) this allows the computer to get a new baseline.

required, no, good to do, yes

correct no need to put this thing on a computer...you can do as listed above to make sure that you have new baselines as stated.
