Fuse for the Check Engine Light?

I'm taking my car to be evaluated for trade in and the check engine light is stuck on. Acura says it will go away eventually (reset itself) as everything has checked out with the electrical system.

Can someone tell me what fuse will get rid of that display?

Thanks!

The CEL should go away after 3 cold starts.

Try disconnecting your battery, then push on your brake pedal a few times. Then re-connect the battery. This should reset all the codes, unless there's a problem.

Also if all else fails just pull the No. 13 fuse.

To answer your first question.

unlucky 13

I pulled 13 and it made no difference (all lights still came on and all dinging etc).

This was the No. 13 fuse on the passenger side fuse panel?

Pulling it out for 1 minute and plugging it back in should do.
