Default How do you reset the ECU?

My C6 feels less quick then before, its been sitting for more than a month. Wondering if resetting the computer might make things right again. BUT - how do you do it? Same as the C5?

It is performed with the Texas Instruments Tech 2 scan tool. Every GM dealer has at least one.

I mean like what was done with the C5's that you could go and unplug certain fuses and the computer would reset. Anybody?

I've got the C5 instructions, but have no idea if it applies to the C6.
