Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools: OBD-II scanner, ignition key, and possibly the vehicle manual.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the engine off.

2. Connect the OBD-II Scanner

Locate the OBD-II port, usually found under the dashboard near the driver's seat.
Plug in the OBD-II scanner and turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.

3. Read and Clear Codes

Follow the scanner’s instructions to read the stored codes. Document any codes for future reference.
If issues have been resolved, select the option to clear or erase the codes from the ECU.
Wait for the scanner to confirm that the codes have been cleared successfully.

4. Test the System

Start the vehicle and allow it to idle for a few minutes.
Monitor the check engine light; it should remain off if the issue has been resolved.
