Trouble Codes

A few months ago when I was lowering my car, I ended up getting the "car is too low" warning for a few seconds - I have service C coming up, and would like to make sure the code is gone... Is there an easy way to do this without a STAR tool? Can an OBDII tool reset them? Can anyone in Northern VA help me out? ;-)

Thanks

You can get a Carchip E/X fairly inexpensive to connect through the OBDII port. There may be something else cheaper. They advertise that trouble codes can be reset.
Do a search on this or scangauge.

I've never tried it with an OBDII tool, but , you could always pull the negative battery cable for an hour and let it reset... You also then get the benefit of having all the adaptive values being reset..
