By doing the following steps mentioned in your first e-mail. The
reset is not complete until the relearning has take place, if the
reset happens before the rest of the steps you would have an ECU
(car) that no longer works.
Turn accessories off. Start the car, Do NOT touch the throttle.
Just let it idle for about 10-15 min , until the car warms up. Then
turn the key to the off position, and that should take care of
relearning stuff.
Or here is the method for automatic cars.
Disconnect your battery for half an hour or...
ECU clear memory procedure is as follows: With engine at operating
temperature,turn engine off and place gear shift lever into park
(auto transmission cars) Locate the two ECU check connectors, for
most cars they are located under the steering column andconsist of a
black plastic male and female connector, and a green male female
connector.The exact location of the connectors varies with the
different year models, but generally they are located under the
steering column on the drivers side. With the ignition OFF connect
black to black and green to green. Turn on ignition and cycle the
gearshift lever from park to neutral and back to park (auto
transmission),depress the accelerator pedal to full throttle and hold
for a few seconds,and then release.Start engine and then drive for at
least one minute, keeping road speed above 11 Km/h.
ECU is now re-set: At this point the check engine light should start
to flash the all clear signal (steady 1/2 second interval flashes).If
the check engine light does not flash, or indicates some other
sequence, there is a fault present in the system,and should be
professionally checked for necessary repairs.

Error code/diagnostic help, am I doing this right? And notes
Ok....forgive me, but I'm a little confused by your email.
I know there are two methods to reset the ecu. I have the method you said about connecting the black and green connectors together on my website.
Now were you acknowledging what I said about the battery reset, to be correct or incorrect? I've done both ways and both ways work and produce the same results. In either case the ecu is "relearning"
As for having a car that doesn't work, that is not true. When I first got my car, and started learning about some of the stuff, I had battery unplugged never let it do the relearning thing.
Not sure if there is differences from US to other countries, but I'm sure the procedure is similar if not same.

Just disconecting the battery does nothing, doesn't reset anything.
You have to start the car and let it idle for 15 mins then turn it
off. At the point you turn the car off the ECU is reset, and has re-
learned.
