Disconnect the negative terminal on your battery, turn your headlight switch on, and wait 5-10 minutes.

Good luck!!!

Pulling the ECU fuse probably does the trick a bit easier.

It takes a lot longer, because the internal filter capacitors in the PCM don't have a good discharge path then....That is the purpose of turning the headlight switch on after disconnecting the battery.
