ses light on constant after remote start install

[grunge311]

I installed my remote start last night (still looking for that horn wire) and now my service engine soon light is on constant. I was messing around with stuff when I was looking for a tach wire and I might have sorted something at one point.

At any rate what do I need to do to reset the light? A ECU reset or is this just a hold down a button while you start the car kind of light?

Thanks

You probably turned on the truck when u had the instrument panel/gauge (speedometer, etc.) disconnected? No? Well if thats the case that ECU reset might work but I remember when I did that on mine, I just undid the negative to the battery for the night and came back in the morning, connected it back and everything was good...I dont think u need to do it that long but thats what I did...My truck ran like cr@p with that SES light on...it would want to die dow on me...I wouldnt drive it when it was like that I was scared itd turn off...I wonder why that would happen but it was when Id have the cluster disconnected and turn on the truck (like when testing that remote start but not totally connected back...) then the truck would weird out on me and that light would go on...

Im prolly just rambling cuz Im half asleep still being its a Sunday and I had to go to the restroom (8 AM...) and just decided Id check the TitanTalk

Yup that did the trick. I hate doing the that method. I liked in my acura where you just hold a button down and turn the ignition on to clear codes.
