what you want to know how to reset trouble codes? I believe that you have to pull the fuse for the computer....or are you looking for something else?

Unhook your bat. for 15 mins. That will reset your computer. But you should scan it to see what the code is.

You could go to Autozone or Advance Auto and have them pull the code for you. Just resetting it probably isn't the best move. Would be helpful to know what set it in the first place.
