there is no button. you have to hook up a code reader to shut it off. you can try autozone, they should do it for free.

There is no reset light. vehicles new than 1995 have to be connected to a computer diagnose what the check engine light is on for and to clear the codes on the PCM.

Hi, I have Sonata 2013, radio went on me a few times. Both times I switched out the fuse and everything went back to normal. Was a few dollars at Autozone. Under $10 if I recall. Good Luck
