Default SES light reset

Is there ant way I can do this without paying a dealership? I know on F-cars you can just turn on the ignition with a certain fuse removed. I just got some bad gas and it is throwing a code so I wanna reset the warning when I fill her back up. Thanks in advance for any help.

Try disconnecting the battery for about 30 minutes.

On a OBD2 you need to connect a scan tool to erase the code, disconnecting the battery wont do that.
Make sure the code that caused the SES light to come on has been repaired. :thumbs:

Well My T.A has OBD2 and if you remove the ECM fuse and turn the ignition on, but do not start the car, and leave it that way for about 30 seconds it clears out the codes. I would really rather not pay to have it scanned as I am about 99% sure that it is just the bad tank of gas.
