I have heard of doing it on the diagnostic plug under the hood.Just shorting a pin to ground. Sometimes disconnecting battery will reset some faults.Also check the computer box under the hood,next to firewall.If soaked with fluid clean area,I use brake cleaner,but electrical contact cleaner is best.Let dry,and see if that helps for awhile,then order a plug.
