Unhook the negative battery cable from the battery and touch it to the red cable and hold it there for a moment and then plug it back up

Touching your red and black cables together without the battery attached will do no harm i assure you... what it will do is discharge the modules faster instead of having to sit and wait up to 45 mins without having a scanner to manually clear codes
