You can clear them using this procedure http://www.technosquareinc.com/350reset.htm but I would recommend taking it to the dealer...

thanks teh. I went to auto zone and had them reset it for me. it was free. Hopefully that takes care of the problem. I was working on the radio and turned on the car while the white box was disconnect. stupid me.

There is an issue with the past ECU programming where the accepted range for the O2 sensor was too narrow. When readings were outside this range, the dumby light came on. Newer ECU programming increases this range to avoid this issue. This is what the service writer told me last visit (two days ago).

Would be prudent to mention that you should take it to the dealership to have the ECU reflashed if this issue continues... and don't mind going to the dealership.

Also got a problem with my ECU. Service engine light came on and did a diagnostic. The error code was 0651. Does anyone know what this means? Can't find the code in the manual so maybe I read the thing wrong. Does anyone know was a 0651 means if it really exists? I reset my ECU to see if it was a gas cap prob. Hope the light does not turn back on.

My check engine light came on at around 8000 miles. It turned out to be that when I put the gas cap back on I didn't turn it to tighten it down. I screwed it in tightly, and about 50 or 60 miles later the light went off.

My check engine light went on when they repalced my valve cover gaskets at the dealer when I test drove it, the code came back as it being my throtle body which was replaced thay said it had a short.

Hey....My SES light just came on....I'm just under an 3/8th of a tank of gas, so I wouldn't THINK it's a "you didn't screw the cap on tight enough" issue, but I guess it could have worked loose?
Anyway, I went to the dealership, and they told me to just keep driving the car until my appointment on Wednesday. Kinda surprised, I figured I'd try the reset procedure once, and if it came back on, then no harm no foul......The light is off for now, so I guess we'll see what happens. The car is running fine.
I'm a little concerned that this might have to do with my GReddy EVO2 exhaust (The mufflers are so wide that the EVAP unit had to be relocated and reconnected to the exhaust stream) or my RT cats. Anything emissions related is surely not covered under warranty anymore.
