Is there any way to reset/check the engine codes without going to the dealer?

I accidently lost my gas cap and now the check engine light is on. I want to reset the light after I get a new cap today.

answer...

on the drivers side footwell behind the stereo to the right of the gas pedal is a plastic panel.

remove it and you'll see the ecu

there's a taped over area w/ a screw (standard) behind it.

insert your key and turn ignition to accessory (not running)

put screwdriver in to screw head and turn (left??) but don't go so far to force it.

then turn it back all the way to the right where it started.

i may be wrong on directions (it may be right first then left) but either way it won't hurt anything.
