I think its something that gets disconnected or bypassed, not replaced. Do some searches around here, I know its something thats been discussed.

Ask Eagle - he always seems to remember where that damn thing is...
Apparently, the timer cannot be reset, it must be replaced. However, finding the timer and removing it will turn off the light - or you can just pull the light bulb itself and deal with the timer later. The emissions timer isn't the computer actually "throwing a code," it's just an automatic frammis that's designed to get you into the dealership.
I've suffered no ill effects from getting rid of the wee nuisance.

cmotsvt is correct -- it's up over your right knee, secured with velcro. 5-90, however, is not entirely correct. The factory says it cannot be reset and the official procedure is to replace it, at an obscene price if they are even still available. However, there are articles floating around the Internet describing how to reset it. It involves a straightened paper clip, IIRC.5-90 said:
Simplest solution is to unplug it. Just remember to replace the oxygen sensor every 75,000 miles.
