Not a problem.  The light is turned on by a switchbox in the speedo cable,
inboard of the left front wheel.  Find the box, find a raised button on it,
press the center of the button in with something thin -- probably hear a
click, then the light will go out.  It will come back on again in either
30k or 60k miles, probably 60k.

The light has no idea of the condition of your sensor, only that it's
travelled the requisite number of miles.
