Don't know if this site has a hidden agenda BUT,

You might also want to do a search on this forum site. I believe it's been covered before.

save yourself HUGE headaches if you live in a state that has emmission testing. Those chips get you some fuel economy but at the expense of emission standards.
ECUs are very adaptable and adjust to driving habits and the information it recieves from the sensors in the engine in order to keep the car running within the parameters that were set forth by the factory. The way these chips work is by filtering the information so that instead of the ECU reacting to the actual sensor data, it is reacting to the lies that the chip tells it about what is really happening. Once the chip Coerces your ECU into overriding it's programming by tricking it to "Learn" what the chip is telling it, it can take months for your ECU to unlearn the lessons. in the meantime, you'll fail every emissions test you take.

Yup, the easiest way to reset it is to disconnect the battery, turn on the headlights (to completely drain the system), and leave it to sit for about 5-10minutes. Of course, you'd have to remove the Chip before you take it to be tested so that it doesn't throw something out of range either on your drive over or during the actual test.
