There is more than 1 way to do it. Obd2 reader can reset the code as long as it is fixed. If you do not have that or can not borrow 1 then do this. Open the hood, take and loosen the bolts to both the negative and the positive battery cable connections. Take them off and hold them together for about 45 seconds. Put the positive on first then the negative, tighten the bolts and go and start the car. You will see once started it will run a quick check and the codes will be reset.
This is very ez and do not be afraid of the cables, they are not hooked to the battery and carry no juice. Good luck:)
