Do it the easy and safe way:

Open hood, uncover fuse box, and find the two engine computer fuses on the
side rail (mine have a plastic orange cover over them, connecting them).
Pull fuses, wait several minutes, replace.

Might also work well on a track day:  warm up car first, clear learned
settings, then go blast around the track.
