I would guess no, disconnect the battery for an extended period of time, might clear it....

To list your codes, turn the ignition key to the ON position, but don't start the engine. Clear any present DIC messages (like Door Ajar, or Service Steering Column) by pressing the RESET button. Then hold the OPTIONS button down, while pressing the FUEL button 4 times. This will get you into the CODES section of the DIC.
The computer will automatically display all the codes your car is or has created. It will cycle through each code every 3 seconds. You can watch it display codes for every module in your car. If you want to write them down, go ahead. Any code that ends in H is a history code - something that has occurred in the past but is fine now. The computer is very sensitive and would throw a code if you turned the radio off while tuning it.
Once the computer has finished going through all of it's automatic codes, press RESET to enter Manual Configuration. It should start with a module and show "NO CODES" or "# CODES". If it shows a number of codes, press and hold RESET until it displays "NO CODES".

Hope this helps.

Good info, Ray. Have use this several times. Now if only I can remember how to it when I need it. Maybe I should print it and leave it in the glovebox.

Did what you said. Work perfect. Came up NO CODES. Started engine. No Service light came on. Seems to have corrected itself. Could this be right?

Yes, could have been anything. Did you record the codes and look them up to see what it is?

Four codes came up, all with a H after them. 2283H, U1060H, 2284H, 2605H. Light did not come back on, so I guess everything is cool. Now off to the Leafs home opener.
