Just a small question for you, does the motor stop when you disconnect the battery terminal?
Also check the fliud level on the transmission. this needs to be done while the motor is runing and when warmed up.....

You should just need to pull the main engine fuse in the engine and wait a minute before replacing it to reset the computer.

Driving the car after will allow the computer to pickup the faults it can so you can read them later. 'Calibrating the computer' sounds irrelevant unless you want to know your fueld consumption - although I'm not expert on that.
