    Proper way is with a capable scan tool. Backyard way is to pull a battery cable

    Are you trying to clear trouble codes?

    What are you trying to accomplish by resetting the ECU?
    Clear codes? Relearn idle / throttle data?

    Are you sure you rewired it correctly?
    Does the Check Engine light come on with the key on?

    So it comes on with the key but your saying a scanner won't communicate with it?
    Can you communicate with any other modules on the truck?

    Should be the same.
