how do I reset my ecu??? I know the code it keeps throwing and I'm going to fix it next week but its only done it twice in like 4 months. But now I'm in vancouver for a week for work so I need to reset the ECU untill I get back to Kamloops. Is the only way to plug it in to an OBD2 decoder?? If so does anyone know were I can get it done this week after 6??? I know its a long shot but I don't want to drive around with that dam light on!!!

Unplug your battery for 30 minutes then plug it back in, should do the trick.
