There are a few ways to reset the onboard computer on your Kia Stonic. One method is to disconnect the negative battery cable for about 10 minutes and then reconnect it. Another option is to use a diagnostic tool to clear the codes. It's best to consult your owner's manual for the exact process for your specific car model.

If you don't have a diagnostic tool, you can try resetting the computer by pressing and holding the trip button on the instrument cluster while turning the ignition on. Keep holding the trip button for about 10 seconds until the check engine light flashes and then release it. This should reset the computer.

If none of these methods work, it's best to bring your Kia Stonic to a certified mechanic who can accurately diagnose and fix the issue causing the check engine light to come on. They can also reset the computer for you if needed.
