Repeat #2 procedure quickly five times within 5 seconds:
2. Fully depress then release the accelerator pedal.
3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking.
4. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking)
5. Wait about 10 seconds.
6. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it down for more than 10 seconds.
7. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink).
Turn ignition switch to OFF position
Turn ignition switch to ON position and now you can start the car. The CEL light should be gone.
Rep me if this works for you as it did for me.

Ok, I just installed HFCs and cat back exhaust. I did disconnect the negative battery terminal because the directions stated to. Now I have a Service Engine Soon light when the car is running.
I tried the above meathod to clear the SES light with no luck. Will removing the negative battery terminal for a minute or two clear the code like the gas pedal meathod? If so, how long should I keep the negative terminal disconnected for before I reconnect it?
Thanks!
