As corny as it sounds…
1. Remove the negative battery cable from the battery post
2. Using a long screwdriver, touch the disconnected negative cable to the positive cable for 10 seconds
3. Remove long screwdriver
4. Reconnect negative battery cable
Somehow, this technique resets the CEL; at least for 3-4 engine starts. Obviously I have to reset the radio code each time, but it has worked for the dozen or so times I’ve done this.
Regarding the codes, thanks for the link. I am familiar with the 38-pin connector and box location. The problem with a search is you end up with WAY more things to plod through than necessary. This is why I simply asked the question.
Cheers,
