that'll clear the short term memory (fuel trims, ses lights etc...) if that's what you're looking for (also if you remove the PCM BAT and PCM IGN fuses w/the key on the on position and wait 30 seconds should also do the trick)

if you want to reset the PCM tune however, only way to do so is with a tuner (HPT, EFI, LS1 Edit, Tunercat, or OEM utilities such as a TechII)

Remove the PCM bat and PCM IGN fuses with your key in the "on" position, that will clear your codes and reset the PCM.

No, only a reflash will clear the tune.
