To reset the onboard computer of a 1997 Subaru Outback, disconnect the negative battery cable and let it sit for about 15 minutes. This will clear the memory and reset the onboard diagnostics. After reconnecting the cable, turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine for a few seconds, then start the vehicle. Keep in mind that this may also reset other settings, so you may need to reprogram your radio and clock.

Is there a computer reset button on 2000 Subaru Outback?

No, there is not. Most code readers will allow you to reset the check engine light, but you can reset it simply by disconnecting one battery terminal and touching it to the other to discharge capacitors in the system. If this makes you nervous, just pull a battery terminal and leave it disconnected for 45 minutes or so. When you reconnect it, the computer will be reset.
