Chances are there is a problem and clearing the code by undoing the battery will do just that... clear the code... doesn't fix the problem.
Take it to someone who an OBDII diagnostic aid like the GM's Tech II or Snap On's version and get the code read so you can get it fixed before you get stranded when you don't need to be.

Mark,
It is indeed a little more than a bandaid if you are getting the reduced power message. You simply cannot drive the vehicle if you are getting that message and you are virtually now stranded. To remove the cable to get it back to full power so you can get back home or where ever would be a quick easy fix if it works.
It just doesn't always work because it might be a low battery or some other problem
