How do I clear the SES light on a BMW 328?

I have a 2000 328ci that had the SES light on form a secondary air pump failure. I replaced the air pump and sensor, now I need to clear the code. you can;t disconnect the battery like on some cars. anyone know how to do this without the expensive diag tool from BMW.How do I clear the SES light on a BMW 328?
Local auto parts suppliers have scan tools that can clear codes. The codes will self-clear but only after a certain amount of drive cycles %26amp; conditions are met with proper operation. (can be days or a month or so)





P.S. Don't forget to check the vacuum line that operates the air pump control valve at the passenger front of the engine's valve cover, this little rubber hose tends to rot and/or split throwing a secondary air injection failure code.
