Or unplug the #6 fuse in the fuse box under the hood. Reconnect it after a few minutes, then start the car and let it idle for like 10 minutes.

Just take out the ecu fuse for about 10seconds and put it back in.
Removing the battery connections will result in loss of memory from your radio.

Here is the proper way... Run the car to normal operating temerature. Shut the car off, unplug the fuse as mentioned. Plug it back in, turn off EVERYTHING in the car, lights radio a/c atc... Then let it run for 10 minutes... Running the car with stuff on will cause a mild erratic idle..
Edit, running the car during the idle learn procedure with stuff on will cause a mild erratic idle..
