Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Misc to model category.
A scan tool will turn off codes alerts, but depending on the severity, the CEL will come straight back on, or it might come on a week later when set parameters aren't met. I had the CEL on on my Lexus. The dealership told me it needed a new thermostat and the cleared the code. About 2 weeks later it came back on. I asked my tire guy and he also said it was the thermostat. I told him that the car wasn't overheating and it seemed fine. He read out the parameters for the code and it was something like 'Coolant temperature not attained 110'F within 4 minutes and 30 seconds'. Sometimes it did and sometimes it didn't. The next time I had my tires swapped over, winter to summer set, he changed the thermostat and it never came back. I have similar with an o2 sensor and with a P4020 Catalytic converter code.
You can get a very basic scan tool for $35, you can also get Dongles that plug into the OBD port and transmit information to your smartphone. I have this one

If you have an Autozone shop near you, they will read the code for free and tell you what it is. Write it down and come back. My Catalytic converter issue was fix by using Cat cleaner in the fuel.
Garages will also read and clear the code for free in the hope of getting the work. If they say they charge a diagnostic fee, got somewhere else. It literally takes 2 minutes.
Incidentally a pro grade scan tool will cost you $3.5k to $5k! Quality wins, but they take a lot of learning.
If you need to use starter fluid you need to get the engine checked by a good mechanic. When was it last given a full service?
You'll need to remove the air filter and spray it directly into the air intake. Starter fluid is nasty stuff! If you get it on the air filter and you get a flame blowback from the air intake it'll burst into flames like a flare!
Starter fluid is only meant to be used once or twice like in an emergency or starting a petrol engine after a very long time in storage.

Hello, the oil pump can be removed by removing all the 10mm size bolts on the pump housing, it is not necessary to remove the oil pan or anything else. The oil pump pulley can be removed by taking off the 12mm nut then pull the pulley off and the seal can be replaced.

There is no reset button. If you replaced the Engine, I would start with all the normal items of troubleshooting. Battery, starter wiring etc. Connect a code reader to see what is causing it. Unless you use a code reader you will be wasting your time as it could be any number of things. I would expect a missed wire or something along those lines.
the dipstick may be red or yellow coloured
where is the transmission leaking
if it is a pipe or hose it can be replaced
if it is a housing seal that will not take long
if it is a torque converter seal --well that will take a little longer
you don't have to replace a transmission to fix a leaking seal
