Service engine soon reset

I washed the engine today as the car wash. It ran very rough, but have gotten better as I drove it. The 'service engine soon' came on - how do I reset I?

Try pulling the negative cable off the battery for about 10-15 minutes.

Disconnecting the battery for about 20 minutes will re-set it.
However, you may want to find out what the code is before doing so, Autozone does it for free - my guess is one of the coils/plugs well got wet, the OBDII code will tell you which cylinder is affected.
