The computer is right on the center of the dash below the radio.

Do this w/o a scan tool below: Or use a scan tool/code reader to clear it. Or disconnect the battery for 24hrs and retry the light.

Could also be its going thru a relearning process and can disappear after 40 starts.

Enter diagnostic Mode 2 .After retrieving codes in Mode II, turn test mode selector fully clockwise. Wait at least 2 seconds. Turn test mode selector fully counterclockwise. This will erase DTCs from memory by switching PCM mode selector from diagnostic Mode 2, back to diagnostic Mode 1

HTH/Good Luck!
