Default Resetting ABS light?

I recently got in a wreck and just got the car back and my ABS light is on. The body shop told me that the unit wasn't damaged, the light came on because it was disconnected. They told me I had to take it to the dealership to have them reset it, does anyone know how to reset it w/o going to the dealership? BTW, I have a 2004 S2000.

Thanks!

Disconnecting the battery does not work. I have tried that.

Any Ideas?

I don't know about the ABS light, but resetting the SRS light requires the use of a jumper wire or special tool following a specific sequence of connection/disconnection in one of the diagnostic ports. Maybe it's the same for the ABS light.

It may be a good idea to take your car to Honda, and let them check the ABS system for problems. Unless you have a very good reason to trust the body shop, I wouldn't believe them immediately. Just because something doesn't 'look' like it was damaged, doesn't mean it wasn't.

is your abs light coming on and staying on right after startup? Or only after you go 70mph+?
