My local store won't either. They will read it but not re-set it. Maybe it's some kind of liability issue or something.
However, I was able to reset it myself. I disconnected the negative terminal on the battery, removed the ECU fuse and turned the ignition to the "ON" position and left the doors open for about 30 minutes. I figured all of this would drain off any residual current within the cars electrical system. I then did all this in reverse order and ....PRESTO! No more engine warning light.
