It'll clear the code, but if the code is indicative of a larger issue you won't know what's going on with the car. Get the code scanner and figure out what you're dealing with, then clear it.

Killing the power to the ECM is what I would consider an all-else-has-failed option. As per Chuck33079, any DTCs will be cleared, plus, the ECM will have to relearn the engine and the emissions system will not pass until you have made several trips.

It doesn't hurt anything, so give it a try if you like. But grab the DTCs before you do.
