My question is will the SES light extinguish after I install a known good part?
I can clear the code, but that also clears the monitors.
Prefer the brain to realize the system is now correct.
But not sure the computer is smart enough to realize I fixed the problem.
What’s the consensus?

The OBD II diagnostics should realize that the fault condition no longer exists, but there's no reason to not do the reset and allow the monitors to run until they come to ready. Either way, it should take a similar time. The SES will remain on until the computer figures out that you did something, or the monitors will run until they come to Ready. Either way, you cannot present the car at the smog station for its bi-annual check up.
