check engine light is still on

I installed a CAI in my maxima. And the check engine light will not go away what might i have done wrong to have the light still on?

Are all the connections back on? Did you reset the ECU?

All the connections are back on. I didn't reset the ECU, that may be the problem. But how do you do that?

i tried to read the FAQ but the only page that about the intake info doesn't let me get on the page to read how to reset the ECU. Could somebody tell me where it is located and how to do it for a 1997 maxima SE?

nevermind I did it. I fixed the car. It was easy. The Intake airtemp sensor was dirty and the knock sensor was in the wrong place. I corrected both. Thanks
