Just disconnect the battery and do a hard reset by touching the - and + together.

Go into the engine module, click fault codes, then click clear codes.

Default nevermind...just yank pull the ECU out of the car, and put it back in 15 minutes later.
When you put it back in, turn the key to the on position, wait 3 minutes before starting, and do not touch the accelerator pedal. This should allow the throttle adaptation to finish.
