I heard a couple of ways. Best I heard was:

Pull +ive and -ive off of battery and leave for 10 minutes. put back on, start car and let idle.

/me wishes there was a simple button to push - anyone?

Disconnecting the battery will work, but it kills all your radio presets...
Don't know of any other easy way.

If you are doing this so the dealer wont be able to check when you take it in, they're going to know when they open up your engine anyways. Resetting the ECU will only make you look shadier and prob not help you in anyway.

What are you talking about?

Pulling the ECU fuse is probably the easiest but the most common method is to pull the NEGATIVE off the battery and wait a few minutes.
