Check Engine Light Rest......
Hey guys I know this has propablly been asked a million times but I'm relatively new and couldn't findd a thread on it last night.
My Check engine light came on last night after I grinded a gear getting into reverse, nothing wrong just didn't match up right. Was wondering on the DIC how to go throught the codes and what to do to clear the light on the DIC? Also when they come up how do you tell which ones are the older and which are the newer ones?
What sequence of buttons do I need to press on the DIC?

here ya go
with the key in the on position, but the engine not running
push and release the reset button until all messages cleared
next push and HOLD button #4
next push and release button #1 four times while holding button #4
When first engaged the on-board diagnostics go into an "automatic" mode which shows all parameters: PCM-TCS-RTD-BCM-IPC-radio-HVAC-LDCM-RDCM-SCM-RFA. If there are no problems, you will see "no more codes" on the ICP display. The computer will show two kinds of codes, "current" and "history," designated "C" or "H". A current code indicates a malfunction is present in the system whose module is displaying data. A history code indicates a past problem. When the screen displays "manual diagnostics," select the desired module by pressing the "options" button to go forward or the "trip" button to go back. Press "gages" to go forward or "fuel" to go back. To exit the diagnostic mode at any time, press "E/M".
If you want to erase or "clear" codes, press .""reset
push and release the reset button until all messages cleared
next push and HOLD button #4
next push and release button #1 four times while holding button #4
