Yes, you can reset it that way, but you might be hiding your problem.

Uhoh? Those sensor are pretty expensive.. More like $500 for just the MAF tube alone.. I think it costs more with the sensor.
Try to get it warrantied.
1hotmax had a similar problem after installing his CAI and luckily his dealer fixed the problem under warranty. It would have cost him about $1000 to fix it without warrany.
Lucky him........

yeah, i talked to Dave Burnette and he said it's $380, cheapest... i'm just scared if i bring it to the dealer they'll void my warranty since it in essence was my fault.

Put your stock stuff back on and take it to the dealer.
