There are at least three ways. The first one is the easiest, you have to bring the car to your mechanic. The second one is if you have a computer error code reader you can clear the computer memory. And the third one is to disconnect the battery for at least 5 minutes. It resets the computer and erases all codes from its memory.
Please, make sure that you have a reason to reset codes. If you don't pay attention to the codes in approximately 200 miles the light will come on again. It will repeat until you fix the problem or the engine dies. Also if you reset codes and try to pass inspection it will not work because readers which are used by car services will indicate that codes were recently erased.
You'll need to find out why it's on, use a code scanner for that. The OBDII code scanners generally allow you to clear the code after you've replaced the faulty part(s).
After repairing the cause for the code, you can clear code with a scan tool.
disconnect the battery for 5 to 10 minutes

Trying to clear the check engine light in a Kia Sorento yourself is not recommended. The check engine light could indicate a serious problem and the car should be inspected by someone qualified.
If you reset the computer then the Check Engine light comes back on, it just means that the problem still exists. You need to use a code scanner, find out what's wrong, fix the problem properly THEN see if the light comes back on. Often when the problem is properly repaired the light will go off by itself and you don't need to clear the code.
I clear the check engine light with a Scangauge II. But most ODB-II devices can read and clear the code.
the correct way is to use an OBD tool, and clear the codes out of the computer. you can also disconnect the negative terminal on the battery for 5 min. i am baffled as to why you would want to clear the code and not find out what the problem is, if the light is on, you can take it to autozone and they will scan the computer too see what the problem is with the car. .
