The computer will reset itself after a few driving cycles. To reset the Check Engine light you can try this. Disconnect the positive battery cable for 20 minutes. If that does not work you will need an OBD2 scan tool to reset the light. Go to the place where you bought the O2 sensor and ask them to reset the light. Some will and some won't.
