Disconnect the battery negative cable then go in and step on the brake pedal for 10-15 seconds. This will drain the power from the ECU. You can reconnect the battery after 1-2 minutes.

Earlier in this thread someone mentioned to find the radio anti theft code prior to resetting the ecu. What exactly does that have to do with resetting the ecu? Will it make the car not start?
No sir, It has nothing to do with resetting the ECU. It was a word of caution for people with the stock stereo.
Because, if you have an original stereo and you drain the power from it. The stereo will not work without the code being entered back in when you power it back up.

couldn't you just pull the ecu fuse? that way you don't have to worry about the radio.</TD></TR></TABLE>
Yes.
But we've got a bunch of people in this thread, different year cars, etc. The ECU fuse isn't always the same fuse # in the same fuse box, and it doesn't always maintain the stereo security.
For '98-02 Accords, pull fuse #13 in the fusebox in the right end of the dashboard (near the door hinges).

Then, start the engine without touching the gas pedal. Let it idle to warm up completely without touching the gas pedal. After the radiator fan comes on, you're done.
How do I start the engine if I've disconnected the battery, tho?
