"check engine" "engine electronics"

You mean they have returned, or they simply persisted? You have to reset a stored code (with a scanner) or hjave a dealer do it.

Those warnings came on one morning when starting. The dash glow plug indicator continued to display indicating the real problem was in the GP system. I replaced the GPs and now the GP indicator does not stay lit. The other warnings are persisting.

I was hoping there would be a way for me to reset the computer without losing a day dealing with a dealer.

Sometimes a cold reset will leave things scrambled at first, ie: the sunroof switch actions seem reversed, "express" down on the windows will not work, etc. etc but after driving a mile or two and then turning the car completely off (as in remove the key), when it is restarted things will once again work and the databases will continue to be rebuilt.

This will not alter the odometer reading nor the "miles to next service" count.

At our shop we usually decode and reset a computer code for free or minimal charge while the customer waits. Call a couple places in your area and find one who will do this. We use a Baum CS2000 and Snap-On MODIS systems.
