I left the gas cap not fully closed and now the service engine soon light came on, is there a way to get it to go off without bringing it to the dealer?

When I installed my sprint booster I got an error message too and I went to Advance Autoparts and they had an OBD II and they cleared the fault right there for free.

i think it's somewhere next to the botton to open the trunk and/or to open the hood.
Diagnostics interface" in the manual.
