Default resettinmg check engine light

does anybody know if there is a way to reset the check engine light without taking the car to the dealership? I worked on a brand new S6 and now the light is on. I know some cars can be reset by disconnecting the battery, but I don't think that would be a good idea on this car. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

you need a diagnostic tool no other way round it, removing the battery helps some times then you need the radio code so if its not your car your in difficulty
