Unhappy engine management reset?

Does anyone know how to reset the engine management light on my 2001 Mondeo Mk3?

The petrol cap was loose and I have been told this might have been the cause for it to come on. I have tried disconnecting the battery and its still on.

The dash code says it has no fault. It says dtc-none. another code is on the digital dash dt684E.

Anyone any ideas? it drives ok

Thanks!!!!

You only need to pull the VILOET 3 amp fuse marked KAM, for a minute or two to reset ecu.
If the power disconnection has not worked, then it needs clearing and resetting at dealers.

Thanks, the battery disconnection worked. Where would I locate the KAM fuse for future reference?

id try a hard reset if still no joy as it work on range rovers and most newish fords to clear fault codes if they are not present faults.
disconnect both the negative and positive leads to battery, leave for 1min then place a bar of metal in between them (the leads NOT the battery) easiest thing to use is a long 3/8th extension bar and leave for 2 mins. do this when ever i manage to beach a range on a ramp at work and someone else is using the diag computers on another car, not saying it will 100% work but it may as it clears everything off our cars and the software is fords IDS so it could work, certainly wont do any harm to try it?
