    when you get to part 3 you're still holding down the brake pedal and still pushing down on the cruise control lever. (the entire lever not the on/off button).

    at part 3 u release both the pedal and the level.

    this does work, and only works for the 8g. however, some trouble codes return after they have been reset. for example the auto tranny codes that come on from the maual swap. i think it only resets minor codes. if you do it right and the SES light is still on, you have a major problem with the engine and should check the light with a scan tool.
    Your signature is too long.

    Thanks for clearing that up. I tried again, got the cruise light to flash and everything, but the engine light stays on. When I had my codes pulled about two months ago, the mechanic said it was a rear o2 sensor, to keep driving it and it will eventually clear itself. This is considered a minor code, right?

    codes

    u can clear it with a datalogger.. otherwise goto auto zone or discount auto or one of those autoparts stores and have them check and clear the code. They let u use the tool for free or they will do it for u and after u find the code u have the option to clear it which removes the light..

    I just tried this, following the directions exactly, and it didn't work for me at first. In step 3, it says to release the brake pedal and cruise control switch, then turn the ignition to OFF. When this didn't work for me, I tried it again, but this time I held the brake down and the cruise control on SET while turning the ignition to OFF, and that clearded the SES light.

    Wouldn't it clear the code for a quick sec. but if the problem is still there the CEL should come back? This might only work if you have all ready fixed the problem and then clear it if it doesn't go away by itself.
