Program it back to stock, then clear any codes with the code reader function and everything should look normal.

Yes. Only thing is disconnecting the battery will leave a code that says the vehicle needs to be driven longer before full disagnostics are ready... perfectly normal.

I just restored my original backup and cleared the codes because I will be taking my vehicle in for service tomorrow. I have the P1000 Diagnostics Not Complete code showing right now. I found what it takes to complete a drive cycle to get the P1000 to clear. I posted it in a thread here for anyone else who is interested.
