disconnecting the battery and stepping on the brake pedal a couple of times works as well. Did it the other day when my friend and I installed a system in his coupe.

You need to have the battery disconnected for several hours to clear the computer. However, it has been suggested that if you disconnect both positive and negative termianls and touch them togeather, the computer gets reset imediatly. I don't know if holding the brake down with the negative terminal disconnected will clear the memory. A simple test would be:
unplug the MAS. Start the car and see the CES
Then do the quick battery reset. If that clears the CES, then it worked. The pedal method does indeed clear the CES light.
