If that's the only reason that the light came on, enough on-off cycles without the problem should do it. Not sure what that number is for your car.

Disconnect the battery terminal {+} for a minute, then put it back on. This will reset the SES light. Quickest way to do it.

I agree this should do a reset, but this may cause additional issues such as requiring reset of the security code in the radio, loss of pre-set stations, etc. It also may run and shift rough till the computer re-learns the appropriate settings.

From what I've heard, Saturns (unlike many other manufacturers) will self reset the check engine light afer several engine run cycles. It may take a week though. Rather than pull the battery cable, I found on my '01 lw300, I can pull the 'controls B+' fuse for 20 seconds and reset the sevice lamp. This does not loose the radio presets.
