Default Intake is on but so are dash lights

I finally did my magnaflow exhaust and custom cold air intake. I stripped the screws on the MAF sensor when I was trying to take it off the stock air box and move it to the new intake. I had to drive up to the shop to grind the screws with no maf sensor, just an open hole on the intake.
This is when the lights turned. I put the MAF sensor back on and I reset the ecu by pulling the fuse and they still wont turn off.

Will somebody please tell me how to turn the the VSC, VSC Off, and the check engine lights off. I really dont want to spend $35 to hook up to the machine just to reset. I know someone has a trick for doing this.

Thanks!

sounds like your maf sensor got dirty between your house and the store... might want to try cleaning that out with some pressured air and a damp towel.

I got back in the car 30 min. ago and the lights had cleared on their own.
I guess the computer just took a while to realize that I had replaced the sensor.
Anyways..............No more lights!!!!!!

Sometimes the computer needs some time. Glad to see it fixed itself.

The car will drive without the MAF sensor attached - you just can't get on it.
