How do you reset the battery light on a 2009 Dodge Caliber?
You do not reset a battery light. The light is on because there is something wrong with the charging system on the vehicle. In most cases the alternator has failed and needs replacing. Once you fix the problem that caused the light to come on the light will go out.

Will check engine light go off after I drive awhile since it came on after the battery was changed?
Replacing the battery should not have triggered the check engine light. The check engine light comes on when there is a problem with the emission system. Saying that, I would drive it for a while to see if the light does go out. If the light does not go out have the ECU scanned to retrieve the trouble code. Then use this code to diagnose the problem.
