If you don't have a code reader, you can disconnect the neg cable, turn the lights on and pump the brk pedal a bunch of times and then in about 5 minutes hook the cable back up.
This will reset the light and the KAM as well (learned adaptives) so the car may run slightly different for a day or so until the comp relearns the adaptives.............

thank you I will give it a try. If you don't mind me asking, why do you turn on the lights and pump the brakes?

It will help drain the capacitor so the system will lose all power & clear. You could just leave the battery disconnected by itself but then it would take longer to completely power down & clear.........
