pedal dance?
ummm we call it the 'hokey pokey' method for clearing codes
but it looks exactly like the same way we can do it on our trucks
yes its a pain in the butt to get it the first time but once you successfully do it its not so bad.
And yes there are a couple of codes this method will not clear and you do need the laptop to do it.

cough... cough...
unhooking the battery for 4hrs?
who has time to wait for that? not i
