That's why you should just pull the fuse instead of disconnecting the battery. It beats redoing your presets.

Which fuse is this, and where is it located? I'd like to reset mine to get rid of the engine light.

It's labeled FI E/M and next to the radio backup fuse in the underhood box.

When I had tried reseting check engine lights using the fuse pulling method the light would not reset. I had to pull the battery. This is on a GSR though. Shouldn't be any different but if yours does not reset then you know to pull the battery.

You'll have to pull the backup fuse next to the F/I fuse. 30 seconds is enough. That is what the service manual says.

the timing will take sometime to return to their original setting. the car actually feel weaker after the reset and return to normal after about a tank full of driving.

I stand corrected. That is indeed what the service manual says. Too bad it also kills the radio, but at least it's still easier than disconnecting the battery. Although C-Speed have it listed as the FI E/M fuse.
