It's important to know that the check engine light is your car's way of letting you know something is amiss. Simply turning it off without addressing the issue causing it can lead to serious issues with your car down the road. However, here are some steps you can follow:
1. Diagnose and Fix the Problem: Use an OBD2 scanner to read the error code. Look up the code to understand possible issues and if you have the knowledge, fix the problem yourself or take it to a mechanic.
2. Clear the Code: Once the problem is fixed, you can use the OBD2 scanner to clear the check engine light. Simply connect it to the car, turn the car on (but don't start it), press the "enter" or "read" button on the scanner. Once the codes display, press the "erase" or "clear" button to clear them.
3. Battery Disconnect: This is an alternative way where you disconnect the battery for about 20-30 minutes, then reconnect it. Please note this method may also reset the radio or other systems in car.
4. Drive the Car: Sometimes, after fixing the issue, you might need to drive the car for a certain number of miles before the light turns off. The distance varies depending on the car model and the specific problem.
Remember: Always seek proper mechanic advice if you are uncertain. Disregarding your Check Engine light can lead to more problems with your car.
