No, the engine will not shut down due to the light. To reset, turn the key to the run position (DO NOT START ENGINE), press the gas pedal to the floor 3 times and wait for a few seconds. THe light will either flash, you may hear a ding, or nothing will happen but the light should be reset.

Let me know if this helps.
