Resetting check engine light 22re

I have fixed my problem and now would like to reset my CEL to see if I have another. Can anyone tell me what the process is on our trucks?

....now you need to read the CEL that appeared after the battery was disconnected.

Is there a fuse to reset codes? I remember seeing it somewhere in the FSM but can not locate it now. If so does anyone know which one?

Pull EFI fuse. Under hood. Then bust out some beer, forget where you put the fuse, go find another one, then find original in your pocket. Then replace.

Theres a fuse box. Pop off the cover and pull the one labeled EFI (see underside of cover). Take 30 seconds to check your engine oil and the condition of your battery terminals then replace the fuse

You can leave out the beer drinking, I guess. But that's how I always seem to do it, along with checking other stuff. It's the fuse box under hood, right fender.
