Default Can someone help me Reset the Check Engine Light?

It's me again. I have searched in here on how to reset the Check Engine Light
but I guess I didn't search hard enough. I know it's out there somewhere but
maybe if someone help me, it will cut the searching time! Anyways, I plan to
make oil change this weekend as well as replacing the sparks plugs and filters.

I believe the Check Engine light came on because I refuel my 2000 A4 while
the motor is still running. Because the error says something about Air/Fuel
Mixture.

Thanks a bunch!

Jimmy

make sure you have your radio safe code if you unplug the battery, it is very expensive to have the code "retrieved" by the dealership...autozone has a generic OBD2 reader that they loan out for free (most will make you put a deposit down though) that you can use to reset the code...a/f CELs often mean you have a failing O2 sensor, you may want to get that checked out, but it could also just be because you refueled with the car running (which is kind of stupid, i wouldn't recommend doing that anymore)

Why do you keep your car running when you fill-0up.

Have someone pull the codes and post them here. As mentioned Autozone can pull the codes and reset the CEL.

Could also be a bad mass air flow sensor
