Default Check Engine Light when fuel's low

Hello Folks,

I am a new 97 E420 owner w/ a quick question:

When the low fuel light came on yesterday, the check engine light simultaneously came on as well... Common issue? How can I reset the computer to see if it happens again?

Thanks in advance.

was the low fuel light flashing at you? check your gas cap if your low fuel light flashes check your gas cap.

No, the light was solid... I was legitimately low on fuel. I don't notice any performance changes or noises or anything...

In my case 1995 E320 I have built in dianostic box. To reset the code I just press and hold reset button for about 1 minute.
