Actually, you should probably go ahead and pull the 15a ECU fuse as well as the hazard fuse. One time when my speedo cable popped out a bit, I threw a code 17 and I pulled the hazard fuse and it didn't reset the ecu until I pulled the ecu fuse.

Also, you don't have to let the car sit for 20 min. You should just reset the ecu and then start the car and let idle for 5 min. then cut it off, then start it up and drive as normal. Honestly, I don't think that's even necessary...
