    Pull fuse #10 in the under hood fuse box for a bit & then replace it.
    Nothin' extra

    Clock is not run by the ECU. Just take the fuse off for 5 mins or so, put it back, then let the car idle for 5 mins.

    When in doubt, disconnect the battery terminal for a few. There is only one problem with this approach: You have to reset your clock (no big deal) and all the presets on your head unit.

    i always disconnect the battery for a few seconds and turn the ignition on just to make sure you will lose all the power in the electrical system.
