I would check the code that tripped it before resetting it. You can reset the light with the same tool you use to pull the code... Car parts stores usually let you borrow one for a deposit or they will hold your drivers license

Many parts shops will read the code AND reset the light for free around here.

you should figure out what the code is, have that problem addressed, and THEN reset the light, so you know whether or not you have fixed the potential problem.
