How to Reset CEL

Hey All,

what are the methods to reset your engine lights? I have tried disconnected the battery, but it does not work.

Thanks,

Bihoang

Uhm... go to any local parts store and have them reset it for free. If it comes back you have a problem and need to get your codes scanned.

I went to autozone once and they told me that they could only check the codes andnot erase the codes for liability reasons. I finally talked the guy into clearing them tho

pulling negative battery cable for 5 minutes resets it for sure.

If its back on once you start the car, your car is throwing a code again right away. Get them read so you can find out what the problem is.
