resetting codes

i heard a rumor that you have to take the pos cable off and turn on the lights for an hour to reset codes (i have a tranny code).

is this true?

I've always had luck just pulling the negative cable for a couple seconds, it would reset the codes.

As far as leaving the lights on for an hour with the battery unhooked, I don't see how that would do anything. Any remaining electricity in the system would be gone as soon as you turned the lights on.

I always heard that you have to take the negative off and hold down the brake for 30 seconds.
