You can't. You have to flash different data to the DME that erases the codes. Coding and flash tuning are completely different things. Coding just lets you select pre-determined options in a module, but on the DME you can't code it after 10 hours of run time and the coding options are limited to a few things anyway.

S.E.S. mean you have a fault with the engine/emissions systems and you should probably get it fixed and not just get rid of the light(not possible anyways), unless you are talking about having a code for catless downpipes which can be flashed out.

This is not something to do with coding. As stated above coding and flashing accomplish two different things. After catless downpipes you would need a flash tune to get rid of 02 sensor codes.

MHD, which is a flash tuning app for your phone, costs about $200 or so all said and done, maybe a little cheaper. There's also JB4($450+) which is a piggback, but I think their newest revision of software doesn't get rid of o2 sensor codes because of fed regulations.

Respectfully DrSauce, you're missing the point.
You want to know why the CEL is on in the first place. Then you can decide whether you have a problem that can be safely ignored. If so, at that point you can worry about software fixes to suppress the light |

Also, there's no way to disable the light entirely (short of a piece of tape over it), you have to find out what code is present that is causing it and either fix the issue or disable the fault (i.e. 3106 for catless downpipes). If you have/can get a K+DCAN cable, an OTG adapter, and an Android phone/tablet, you can use the MHD app to read codes without buying any licenses.
