do a search on this, I'm pretty sure I've read
warnings about turning the screw too much.

I've posted regarding this in the past, but I'll do a recap...
I actually broke the screw off inside the ECU! In order to fix, I had to pull the ECU out, solder three leads onto the circuit board, and then connect them to a two way toggle switch. I mounted the switch on the outside of the ECU. It actually works better, as now when I need to check codes, I can just reach down and flip the switch. So far, no problems.
