Disconnect the ground wire on the battery, wait five minutes and reconnect the ground wire. The light will not come on unless you have another "fault". Note: make sure you know your radio's security code and how to enter the code before disconnecting the battery's ground wire.
It will come back on if the problem Persists.
Most likely however the cause is ...
The Millenias and their Commonwealth cousins the "Xedos" all suffered a common defect resulting in MOST CEL issues. This engine configuration typically results in the need for replacement of 1 to 2 O2 sensors and / or the DREADED Knock Sensor embedded deep in the Manifold assembly. Mine ran 3 years with this CEL on due to the cost of labour to replace. The sensor was only 165 bucks while the labour to install was nearly 800.
I will admit once it was replaced I was not only legal again for the Emmissions test, but the thing ran better than it ever did PLUS I got nearly 2 points to my highway Mileage.
Now the codes are confusing on this because two of the O2 sensors share the same circuit and the code wont necessarily identify WHICH o2 is actually bad, that unfortunately is hit or miss. The KNOCK sensor code is separate and distinct however but all of this results in a costly set of repairs.
Good Luck

I have a 2002 Millenia-S and removing and reattaching the + battery cable does reset the check engine light.Answertry unhooking the positive cable to the battery...this works on my 97 millenia
This was happening to me and the check engine light came on as well. I had to have my catalytic converters replaced, there are two on the 2002 Millenia S.It cost about $2,000.00 at the dealer and parts had to be ordered.

Depnds on the code
NO. if you replace the fuel filter, it will have NO effect on the flashing ce lite. how bout get the codes scanned, and THEN see why it is flashing? using the guess method to diagnose a problem with the millenia doesnt work
