There is no real benefit to resetting the ECU, basically all your doing is resetting the KAM (keep alive memory) it will re-learn in about a week of driving so it will be the same as before. The first thing you will notice is the gears change hard as a result in the battery being disconnected so then you will have to perform a throttle calibration.

No need to worry about any fancy stuff. Just disconnect the battery overnight. I didn't do any fancy stuff with pedals or throttle calibration when mine reset! You may notice a few odd things while the ECU is relearning (eg mine stalled twice), but just ignore it and it will be fine!

Why do you want to perform this procedure? I've done it on 2 of my EB's in the past and it didnt fix my crappy kickdown performance

Unless you have a specific problem, I dont think you'll notice any great improvement

Every time power is interupted (battery dissconnected) a throttle calibration should be performed.
