99's have a phillips head screw and it's deeper inside the ECU so you really can't see it. Gently insert a very small phillips head into the hole and you'll feel it catch the screw head. A very small flat blade will also go into a phillips slot, but you really should use the correct screw driver so you avoid any damage.

I think disconnecting the battery for ~30min will also reset the ECU, seemed to work on my 97 since i no longer have a CEL
