Is it ok to reset the maintenance required light on your car yourself?

I see vids on YouTube but I don't want to mess up anything.

**My car has already had an oil change and tire rotation within the last 3 months.

Apparently they did not reset the light

I don't want to waste time waiting on them to do it. If I can do it myself without messing anything else up then I'd like to

Some autoparts stores will lend you the thing that you can see the code - and they will tell you what is wrong. But they cant reset the code.

@MarmeeMarch I went to AutoZone last week. Nothing came up on the code thing

@iamnikki Oh - that's weird - if the check engine light is on then there should be a code.

@MarmeeMarch I never mentioned a check engine light

@iamnikki Oh - I guess my car is too old - it doesn't have a maint light.
