RE: reset button
According to my repair manual, you need a scan tool to clear the codes. I purchased one at our local parts store (Pep Boys) for about $80. I have seen them advertised at the following:

This device allows you to reset the trouble code(s)

RE: reset button
Yeah disconnect the battery and let it sit for about 5 mins, the light should go out and will come back on if there's a problem

You don't have to purchase a code reader to clear the codes. Most autoparts stores will let you per say rent one and they will hold onto your license and/or credit card. It is an easy out in the parking lot kind of fix. It will save you the $80 bucks.

most stores will scan and clear the codes for free. the battery will work as well.

The battery won't clear my check engine light. It comes on right now due to my secondary air pump and wonky fuel gauge. Two times i had the codes checked and both times the same codes came back for the above problems. I even tried unplugging it for over an hour on both terminals. It time to bite the bullet and fix the stupid thing.

RE: reset button
lemon, please start a new thread on your problem (if you haven't already). Also, please post the exact codes that you have read from your PCM. I do not believe that a faulty fuel level sender has any OBD2 (generic or manufacturer specific) associated with it.
