I think to do it right there's more to it than that.

Seems to me there's a Library doc... I'll look. (you should too but I'll try to find it)

Resetting the ECU/Check Engine Light
Author: S2KI Librarian

[list=1]
[*]Put the key in and turn to on and then turn to off, leave the key in.
Locate the fusebox - its above your left foot if you are sitting in your S2000.

[*]Locate the fuse - right side of panel, 2nd fuse from top (3rd slot from top). It's the 7.5A fuse that's right between a 15A and a 7.5A. Its marked "Back Up".

[*]Locate fuse pulling tool - its stored about 4 inches to the left nestled in a group of relays.

[*]Pull out the fuse with the removal tool (if necessary), count to ten and stick it back in (key off).

[*]After removal wait for 10-15 seconds.

[*]Put the fuse back the right way, not upside down otherwise it will not work.

[*]Turn the key and start the engine and that should take care of the check engine light and resetting of the ecu.

[*]If you reset the engine light and it returns, then there can be something wrong with your car. Resetting the light, as described above, is a troubleshooting tip to see if it is merely a glitch in the ECU or perhaps some modification that tripped it off and needs to be reset.
