The first step is to watch for the message in the EVIC when you first start the car. It will tell you what the issue is. Many times it is just the oil change reminder. If that is the case, change your oil and then here is the reset procedure:
1: turn the ignition switch to the ON position
2: fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly , three times within 10 seconds.
3: turn the ignition switch to the OFF position
If the light illuminates when you start the car, the procedure did not reset the indicator and must be repeated.
If it says something else like replace a bulb, when you replace the bulb or fix the issue, the light will reset itself. Or just cycle the key -on and off and the light will reset. You may have to do that a handful of times, but usually just driving the car over a day or two and the luightwill go away assuming you took care of the issue.
