To reset the codes, pull the neg battery terminal and then turn the key to START for a few seconds. Turn off/remove the key then reconnect the battery.

99's need to use a scanner. Autozone will usually scan vehicles for free.

Just FYI,

Walmart sells a code scanner for domestic vehicles for under $99

also, if you buy a hypertech programmer, it can also scan codes and reset the errors as well.
