Do you have an OBD2 code reader?

Disconnect the battery.. hit your brakes to totally empty any leftovers. Leave it off for thirty min. Hook the battery back up... cel gone! Remember it takes a couple hundred miles to relearn itself. Good luck!

Borrow a code reader from Advance Auto or Auto Zone and clear the codes.

Oreilys here is the same way. But I must warn you. The parts places technically cannot clear your code unless you get a cool associate who will clear it for you. Yea its just a couple pushes of the button but its a liability issue. I do about 1000 in parts a week with them and that came straight out of a territory managers mouth. I usually just ****** the obd reader and clear it myself. Lol.

I bought an OBD2 code reader for under $30 on ebay, that talks on bluetooth to a laptop. I got it for a Subaru that turned the light on for a number of reasons, and have not yet looked for the plug in on the 150.

Look around you can get OBDII readers for cheap. If all you're going to do is clear a code once in a while - thats all you need.

Thank you for all the input... The light went off after I unhooked the battery and drove for awhile.... So I guess I'll have to get the code reader but not this time lol thanks again everyone
