It's a 99% chance you forgot to plug one of your sensors back in.

properly resetting the ecu takes less time than disconnecting and connecting the battery.

Its just clockwise, 2 seconds, counterclock, back to clockwise, 2 seconds, counter clock.

in 10 seconds u can reset the ecu.

The same thing happened to me.....i went over all connections and disconnected the battery for 30 min. But after all that it was still on.....after you drive for a while, it will turn off. That's what it did with me.
