Have you fried the ECU by sticking volts into the wrong pins?

No need to YELL. You did not make it clear what the trouble is.

As Dave said, there are tons of websites out there that give the procedure.
He goes on to say Pin 11, but I think this is an error.

In any case, you do not seem interested in the right way to reset the lights
as much as you want to know what the recovery operation is after doing it
wrong.

It sounds like in your stupidity you managed to blow the computer to
smitherings, if so then you are pretty much on your own.

Worse yet, it sounds like he did it to a friend's car.

It should be 7 & 19.

There is a different (and easier) way to do modern cars (e46, etc.)
Pin 14 is 12v. Shorting that to ground (pin 19) and the service interval
Pin 7,
is *NOT* a good thing. As some other people have mentioned, you've
probably fried something.

Maybe you've upset the alarm system?
