I was having the same code after the dealer replacesd the coils and spark plugs but first it'd only start blinking @ 5k or 6k RPMS then remained on all the time. try to reset it with the brake pedal technique and didn't work so i disconnected the battery and never came back on.
is it right what i did? or should've i taken back to the dealer? it's under warranty anyway

If you're still getting blinking then they did not resolve the problem. The ECU is detecting a misfire in upper RPM's on your #2 rotor. The resolution is either the replacement of the spark plugs (the typical resolution) or the replacement of the coil packs.
I have had this problem all week and replaced my plugs last night. Sure enough the leading plug on my #2 rotor had NO electrode left! I replaced all 4 just for the hell of it and now the car is running like a champ. Took around an hour and a half to do I think, and I'm far from fast when working on my car.
As far as getting rid of the CEL goes, I just unhooked my negative battery cable whie working on the car. Leaving it unhooked for a while will reset the ECU and get rid of the CEL.
I'm not CEL-free and my car is running like a champ.
