you place the key in, hold the reset button (the one that resets the trip meter), while holding the button turn the key to the accessory position (position II not turning on the car). Just hold the button for a while (10 seconds) then the light should turn off, after that turn it off then turn back on to see if it the light turned off, if not do it again. My mom having an accord and reading it in the manual (which I know you said was stolen) made it easy to avoid stealership

On my Honda if I get a cel, all I have to do is keep driving it. After 3 complete drive cycles it turns itself off if there is no further issues. I used to worry about resetting it if it came on. Now I just drive.

Damn I've had this problem for a week now with my Buick.

Too busy to disconect the battery.

Damn light, theres plenty of oil. If this crap keeps up I won't pass smog in July and will have to buy a new car.

Ah got it. For me it's just a button on the dash that I can push. Mine is simple.
