Anyway to clear the light without special tools?

Go to your local auto parts store.. buy a OBD II reader.. and read the manual it comes with... They cost between $69-$300.. the cheaper ones only read the numbers and you have to look the code up.. the more expensive ones tell you what it is. I recommend spending the extra money to have the codes shown to you in words.. It will also allow you to clear them.

go to autozone and you can borrow their OBD II reader to clear the code
use the code manual to see why it threw the code
