Default Check Engine light still on 97 Cherokee

I replaced a sensor but the check engine light still stays on and the code still comes up.
How do you clear the code?

Thanks!

If the problem has been fixed the computer will turn the light off itself after 50 or start-ups. You can also disconnect the pos cable, touch it to the neg for about 30 seconds.
If you have to do a Smog, you need to wait a couple weeks after this, wel at least here in Kalifornia.
