Default Check Engine Light following Radiator Fan Motor replacement

I had to change the radiator fan motor. After I finished and did the op check and leak check the check engine light came on and has stayed on. Would the reset be disconnecting the negative battery cable for a few minutes and reconnecting it? I have heard that sometimes this works. Otherwise it runs fine and stays very cool even with max A/C. I live in Kansas where it is hot and humid this time of year.
Also send to my email.
thanks

First of all, find out what fault code is coming up on the computer. On the top of this section is a sticky that tells you how to pull the codes. Then work from there.

I got a 1490. It is in the fan control low speed circuit. I did the R&R of the low speed relay and still have a light.
Could it be the high speed relay or maybe the sensor at the fill port/thermostat housing?

I realize that now. I was trying to work too many sources at one time.
The good new is that the local Chrysler outfit did assist also. He said that if the code is the same number as it was before the component replacement, the computer may take some time to pick up on it and do the reset.. Later that day, the check engine light went out while the missus was running some errands.
But I do apperciate your assistance.
