Pulling the ecm, or pcm fuse for a minute or so will reset it, most parts stores have scan tools and will reset it for free, if the light is indicating a problem, and it always is, you will need to repair the problem or the light will just come back on. If you are trying to get the car smogged you will need to drive it about 30 to 50 miles before it will pass.

Resetting 1999 vw jetta check engine light?

The easy fix to reset the "check engine" light on the Jetta is to completely unhook the battery for at least 10 minutes. This may possibly be only a temporary fix though if the original problem that caused the light to come on still exists.
