Manually reset the check engine light

Manually reset the check engine light

Basically I left the ignition Key on and one of the Doors left open overnight, this obviously drained the battery to the point where I needed to jumpstart the engine. Once the engine was started and the battery was charged I had to reset the Clock and program the AM/FM channels. This was the only thing done and yet the Check Engine light came on and has not turned itself off. Because the battery was completely drained I am sure this was what triggered the engine light but unfortunately I am not sure if the Customer can reset this?
My question is do we have any way to resent this manually without taking to the dealer?

Thanks in advance

RE: Manually reset the check engine light

Disconnecting the battery and stepping on the brake pedal a few seconds should reset it. It probably set an O2 heater code due to low voltage on startup.
