1) Pull the PCM fuse for 10 to 15 seconds.
2) Put back fuse
3) Start car and leave in Park for 2 minutes.
4) Put car into Drive with brake pressed for 2 minutes.
5) With car in Drive( and brake on ), turn on AC for 2 minutes.
6) Turn off AC and leave car in drive for 2 minutes.
7) Put car in park and idle for 2 minutes.

That is for an auto, not sure about a manul.
