I'm not sure how many of you guys know this, but you can reset your ECU without screwing with the negative battery terminal. Just pull the 10 amp fuse in the lower right corner of your fuse box (driver's side footwell) for about 15 (edit) SECONDS (edit) or so. It also interrupts power to your interior lights and radio.
It's much less of a hassle than messing w/ the battery.

2g guys - does this work on yours too?
 
Disconnecting the battery terminal takes appx 15 sec...leave it off for about 30 seconds, and another 15 seconds to reinstall. 60 seconds total seems like a lot less hassle than crawling on the floor, pulling a fuse and waiting 15 min. Thats my theory, to be honest with you, i never even knew about the fuse thing. i always just undid the terminal. ;)
