Default service engine light came on while driving, no apparent problem

While driving down the highway today my service engine light came on and will not go out. What tool do I need to read the code. If I remove the battery cable will it reset itself and then light if the problem continues to be there. Salty

Hold down the options button, press the fuel button 4 times, and it'll read off all codes. Write them down. If any have a "C" after them, it means they are current codes. "H" means history. If they are all H codes, erase them by using the Options/trip buttons to scroll through the list of codes and pressing "reset" to clear them.

Mine came on once. I tightened the gas cap a whole bunch more 'clicks', re-started the car, hit 'reset' and the CK ENGINE was gone!
