Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, vehicle owner's manual.
Connect the OBD-II scanner to the vehicle's diagnostic port, typically located under the dashboard near the steering column.

2. Clear Error Codes

Turn on the vehicle's ignition without starting the engine.
Follow the OBD-II scanner instructions to navigate to the error code section.
Select the option to erase or clear codes, and confirm your selection.

3. Verify Reset

Turn off the ignition and then restart the engine.
Check the dashboard to see if the check engine light has turned off.
If the light remains on, repeat the OBD-II scan to ensure no codes are present.

If the light does not reset with the OBD-II scanner, as a last resort, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
- Use a socket set to loosen the terminal clamp.
- Leave the battery disconnected for approximately 10 minutes to reset the vehicle's computer.
- Reconnect the negative terminal and tighten the clamp securely.
