Autozone told me the same thing. The guy told me you have to unplug a wire under the glove box behind the kick panel and short one end out, then turn on the ignition and count the blinks, however if the light goes back off that may not work. Mine goes on at highway speeds at random, but when I turn the car off and back on, no light. Still trying to figure mine out.

This works sometimes.
take the negative connection off of the battery and touch it twice to where it was connected and put it back on and it should clear it.
