On most cars and situations the light will go out by itself after X number of drives of at least Y number of miles. The same readers that can tell you what the code was can usually rest the light.

NO NO NO NO. Just go to Autozone or a parts store near you, and ask if the read codes for free. If so, they can reset the codes with the scan tool with a single press of a button.
