You can reset it by disconnectingt the negative(-) battery terminal. I'm afraid you'll probably have to find out the trouble code and fix the problem before it will stay off.
There are two different ways to do this, one of them should work on your vehicle.
With out turn the engine on turn the ignition key; On, Off, On, Off, On, Off, On at this point if you have a digital odometer the codes should show up there, If not the check engine light will blink out the codes. It will blink each digit three time then move on to the next. The first number should be 12 this means enging not running, the last number should be 55 which mean codes complete.
The other method generally used for older vehicles, you shouldn't need it but I'll expain just in case;
You should be able to short the 2 bottom right connections on the reader plug to activate the trouble code display then the display will work as I desribe earlier. Once you have the trouble code(s) I or one of the other expert here can tell you what it means and most likely how to fix it.

Go to any auto parts store and ask them to read the codes and if none
then ask to turn off the lite. if it comes back on in a few miles there is a problem and you need to fix it to keep light off.

I have 2002 chevy venture and the low oil pressure light came on with a loud dinging sound, shut the van off and now it wont crank

Did you check crankcase oil level? Did the engine over-heat? Is the engine seized? If the engine is seized, you may have internal engine damage? Can you turn the crank by hand? If you remove accessory belt and spark plugs, should be easier to turn.
I don't know if your oil pump might be faulty?

Cranking is starter motor action, engine turns over. When you talked about oil pressure, it got me worried, if that's ok, have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the spark plugs, if spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Also, check fuel injector pulse. Any applicable trouble codes?

Just had new brake line , brake pads, rotors installed on my 99 chevy venture van, after coming out of the shop the abs light is staying on, why? thanks

Because you now have an ASB System Malfunction

Most common cause is a Wheel Speed Sensor

Now--was it damaged by the repair shop

or did they not bleed the system correctly

or not clear the ABS Light?

2000 chevy venture doesnt start

check to make sure the security light is not on if it is the van will have spark but no injecter pulse the best way to solve this issue is to have the original igniton key and put it in the igniton in the run position and leave it on for 10 minutes then the light will flash then try to start the van

Check engine light

I believe this is an evaporative system leak such as a loose gas cap or leak in an evaporative system line.
