Default Scanners/Clearing codes "Tech guys"

I have question for the tech guys here, I just changed seatbelts in my C8Z. Even though I had the battery disconnected, when I reconnected I threw a "service restraint system" warning on my dashboard. Does the basic Amazon scan tool have the ability to clear this code? THANK YOU!

nope you’ll need a fancy one. A nice dealer would clear that for you.

also try leaving the battery disconnected overnight and see if it clears

If you go to the dealer, go with a tasty offering.. they may cut you a break.

If it doesn't affect start/run operation, try driving it a few miles, stop, turn off, rest, then start, drive a few miles, rinse, repeat.
Sometimes the CEL will clear when it "learns" the problem has been resolved (belt replaced/functional).
