Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: OBD-II scanner, vehicle owner’s manual (for port location if needed).
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is turned off.
2. Connect OBD-II Scanner
  • Plug the OBD-II scanner into the OBD-II port.
  • Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine (this powers the scanner).
3. Retrieve and Clear Codes
  • Follow the scanner's prompts to read the stored error codes.
  • After noting any error codes, select the option to erase or clear the codes.
  • Confirm the action to reset the check engine light.
4. Disconnect Scanner
  • Once the codes are cleared, safely disconnect the OBD-II scanner from the port.
  • Turn off the ignition and then restart the engine to ensure the check engine light remains off.
