Nope. but disconnecting the battery won't accomplish what you want. you're cel will still be there, and you'll have to reset your dsc.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
2. Turn the steering clockwise fully,
then turn it counterclockwise fully.
3. Make sure the DSC OFF indicator
goes off.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF
position, then turn it to the ON
position again.
5. Make sure the TCS/DSC indicator
light goes off.
If the TCS/DSC indicator light and the
DSC OFF indicator light remain
illuminated even after turning the
ignition switch to the ON position,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

AutoZone people may be trying to read the code with a non CAN bus reader.
Make sure your gas cap is tight before you clear the PCM. That may be the cause of the CEL. If the CEL comes back, take the car to the dealer to have them read the DTC code(s).
You'll have to calibrate the DSC, reset the clock and reprogram the radio buttons after you reattach the battery cable. See the owners manual on how to do that.

or what u can do is this, go to a local shop n or dealership non mazda, n have them use a microscanner, generic would work has in my case, if its generic it should read off the DTC, then dependin on what urs is, then u can go from there if its small problem u can repair, or take to a dealership for warranty work.

Ug, sorry to hear they disrespected you with a neon. I've seen your car pics - you've done a lot to make it look distinctive. I guess there is really nothing they could offer that would compete. I'd be curious to know how many of your coworkers noticed your car missing today.

^^^ Yup! Fancy words for a non-sealing gas cap.
BTW, it is really obvious how pampered many of us have become when we complain about a FREE loaner car some of the dealers provide. Maybe walking would be preferred?

You're right, we're spoiled - but we also paid to play.
