How do you reset a check engine light on a 1995 civic?

You can either try removing a 7.5amp fuse for about 10 seconds in the fuse box under the hood that says back-up on it. Alternatively, turn your car off. Press the oddometer reset button. While holding it, start the car half-way, and lights should start flashing. Keep holding for another 10 seconds or so, or until the lights will go out. Then, turn car off... wait a little while and turn it back on. This should reset the light, but it will come on if you still have a problem eventually. Enjoy.
