Default Check Engine after reinstall stock Air and Tune

Last night I removed my BBK intake and 93 Brenspeed tune and set the car back to stock for the Winter. On my way to work today I noticed that the Check Engine light was on. Upon opening the hood I realized that I forgot to connect the wire to the sensor near the air box.

I connected the wired, but the Check Engine light is still on. Do you know how many times I'll need to restart the car before it will go away? I tried to restart it like 8 times, but that didn't help.

Should I simply flash back to the Brenspeed tune and then back to stock to clear the light? Disconnect the battery?

Take your tuner and see what the error code is.......and if its nothing major just reset it.

Thanks Matt07GT
I did what you said and went ahead and reset it with my Tuner, the code was related to the sensor that I had failed to connect. I didn't realize that the Tuner could actually reset codes, that's great!
