Or you might try this one.
Now you need to clear your 'Check Engine' light. There are a couple of
ways to do this. The easiest is probably just to pull the BTN1 fuse in
the fusebox located under the hood on the passenger side for about 30
seconds. If you pull it out too short, you won't reset the code. If you
pull it out too long, you'll lose your radio presets.
Until I purchased a code reader of my own I used to havce to do this
regularly and I never lost my radio presets.
To be honest, you can buy a code reader of your own for about what
Mazda will charge to reset the CEL once. Considering that something
as simple as not tightening the gas cap (do you ever have someone
else pump your gas?) can turn it on, it is a good thing to carry
int he glove box of a Miata.
