Make sure you have your stereo code if you disconnect the battery as you will need it.

Or you can just pull the ECU out for 30 mins and then do the key thing...nothing else will work for the ECU will still be connected to the car and still keep the current fuel trim logs. Don't disconnect the batt that won't do it.

okay I'm not looking to do this, but this is the most confusing thread I have ever seen. Pull the battery, no pull the ecu, you need the stereo code, you can only do DBY, you can also do non DBY. Whoa!
