Engine management malfunction light

Since I had to start the engine twice to get it running the engine management malfunction light came up and will not go off.

Turning the ignition key the fuel pump does work but most of the times I have to turn the ignition key two times again to get the car started.

Could this be a partly plugged fuel filter?
And how do I reset the engine management malfunction light?

Thanks for your help!!!

sounds like possible fuel filter to me.

whent you say the fuel pump works, can you hear it prime as soon as you turn the key

Yes, I can clearly hear it turning the key prior to engine starting.

sorry, missread your prob, think dealer has to reset this one,

as error codes need to be cleared from the ecu.
