non A-body question, PT -03 trouble

One quick and easy step is to disconnect the battery for several minutes(8-10) and sometimes when you reconnect the ECM will reset. My wifes 07 PT just had a shutdown relay problem and car would start but not run. Reset with the battery trick to drive to friends shop and reset all the parameters with his scanner. Just a thought
Thanks Darter.
Did have the battery disconnected for 30 minutes, but havenĀ“t had a scan tool connected afterwards.
