3. Plug it back in
4. Turn on your car and let it idle for 10 minutes, DO NOT GAS IT!
5. Make some noise.

How do you properly reset the ECU? Is the "unplug the battery" method the only way to do this?

Thanks.

make sure you have the CD player security code with you because you'll need them after you disconnect the terminal..
