I've been doing this since I had the car, only I was doing it the hard way; disconnecting the battery terminal overnight. This procedure described is what the techs use when they want to reset those settings.
It works great, but, as soon as you get back into a pattern of slow, constant speed driving, it will go back and you'll have to do this again.

As far as I know as Victor noted this resets the adaptive tranny not the ECU per se. I've tried it several times and it does work. Significantly better performance occurs. Whenever I want to scortch the roads home after work I reset it and turn off the ESP. I don't care if I do make more noise and smoke it just feels better than letting the HP back off with ESP.
