If so, pull the battery for 30 minutes and stand on the brake pedal for 30 seconds at the start of that time.

Not pulling the battery when you swapped the wheel could have led to your decapitation, not just a CEL, so consider yourself lucky.

Yes, I replaced it with another OE steering wheel (all black to black and red).
I know... I was being lazy and didn't think about it until I took the airbags off..

Thanks for the input.. I'll give that a try.
