I assume that you have a 96 Q (from your username) and that you are trying to reset a code that caused the CEL to come on? It is not clear from your post what you mean.
If you are simply trying to find out what caused the light to come on, and then reset it, you can borrow an ODB-II reader from your local Autozone and do this.
If it is something else that you wanted, then a bit more elaboration is needed!
