Removing battery will reset the computer if you do it for about 10 minutes but remember that somethign caused the code and if you dont fix it it will come right back on.

Go to a autozone and have the code scanned and post back what code it was in p**** format

May have to unless you want to take it back to the shop and try to reset it with a scan tool. It will reset if the problem is fixed after about 40 miles to 70
