1. Remove negative battery cable
2. Wait 5 minutes
3. Replace Negative battery cable

Or, if you want it erased, then drive to Checker/Schucks/Kragen/Autozone/PepBoys/O'Reily's/ Whatever and have then run the code, and then clear it.

I see too much time in that as you actually have to get a rachet out.

Pull the "backup fuse" in your fuse box, it's the ECU fuse, then wait 5 minutes (I think haynes says you only need to wait 20 seconds, but whatever) and plug the **** back in.

This is the fuse box in your engine bay...not the under dash one.

Ah, I suppose that's a good argument.

Though it's generally pretty rare that the sticker is gone on the fuse box in the engine bay - the under-dash, sure, but usually not the one in the engine due to pple generally keeping their engine dry and such, they don't "accidently kick it" and such. - I hear ya tho, I just find the fuse easier to pull (b/c it's right there) then to unbolt the terminal, pull it off, wait, put it back on, then tighten it :-\.

Before I replaced my terminals with brand new ones from Honda, I could literally pull my cable by hand.
