Check engine light

Does anyone know how to reset engine light on the 7.3 without using a computer? OBDII on a 96 F350. Thanks in advance

Disconnect both grounds on the batteries for 10 minutes or so, that should do it.

As soon as key is turned on certain diagnostic checks are made that could throw the code back. Without the code or what the issue is we are only guessing. More information on the truck and condition would be helpful.

I just had the transmission rebuilt, but it is a manual transmission. There aren't any sensors there that would trigger a check engine light
