how I accidently reset my fuel trims

I then sprayed underhood with engine running, and while there (after getting zero change in RPMs) I pulled off the MAF sensor plug. No change in idle speed the first two times, but it stalled when I plugged it back in on the third (while idling the MAF reads OK at 3.6-4.7, and rises when more air flow is ingested, so I think it's OK...don't know why I chose to unplug it).

...I looked at the Torque Pro screen and saw that my longterm fuel trims were zero'd, with the short terms at plus 18-20!!!...

Next, I looked at the Torque Pro screen (I had left the phone face down on the seat, while using the Foxwell), and was shocked at the short & long term fuel trims.

and saw that long terms were zeroed, while the short terms were ridiculously high (and I imagined I smelled gasoline, but got out and didn't smell or observe any).

So, I continued to observe the readings for a few minutes, occasionally raising the RPMs, and in awhile, the readings looked like this

...I'm very pleased with the fuel trims (I don't know how they got that way, but I hope they remain"normalized")....
Well, I finally found out how I accidently reset my fuel trims...it was by repeatedly unplugging and re-plugging the MAF sensor

I hate mysteries, so that's reassuring that it's been done before, with the same results. Now to figure out how come the ASC dash warning light came on, without ever moving the X5.
