Since you did not reveal the offending code, it indicates you do not have access to a scanner nor a code reader....

If you have made the correct repair the CEL will extinguish after a set number of drive cycles.

Pulling the negative battery cable will reset the PCM to factory defaults, CEL OFF, drive monitors OFF.... Philip
