Many auto parts stores will do this for you. If you would rather, just disconnect the negative battery cable, wait for five minutes, and reconnect it. That will reset nearly everything. My question is "Why did the light come on in the first place?" Ignoring the light could, at the least, cost you at the gas pump, and at the worst, leave you with more costly repairs in the future.
What model do you have? I am saying no to your question. In most vehicles the service engine light deals with the operation of the "engine", igniton system, exhaust, and fuel system. If there is a problem with the brakes you could see an ABS light (if equiped) or a BRAKE! light on. If the Service engine soon light is on in your vehicle the problem lies in one of those systems. Good Luck
Service engine lights need to be read with a code reader for your make and model. If the problem has already been fixed, you can reset the light by removing the appropriate fuse, or disconnecting the negative battery terminal for at least 30 seconds.
disconnect the negative battery cable, wait a couple hours, then reconnect. If you are trying to reset the inspection service light you will need to take it to someone or get on a board for model specific info.
I am not sure about the 2007 model. 2004-200 Models: The answer is in the manual. If you do not have the manual: After you turn on the engine, hold the trip reset button until the service remainder resets.

On 1996 and later model Saturns you must read the codes with a hand held scan tool. When the problem is read and fixed the light will go out. It's probably the O2 sensor, replace that and the light will go out.
