how to reset the check engine light on my Toyota Camry Seventh Generation (2012-2017)?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools: OBD-II scanner, owner's manual (for reference).
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface with the engine off.

2. Connect the OBD-II Scanner

• Plug the OBD-II scanner into the OBD-II port under the dashboard.
• Turn the vehicle's ignition switch to the "On" position (without starting the engine).

3. Read and Clear Codes

• Follow the scanner's instructions to read the diagnostic trouble codes.
• If codes are present, make a note of them for future reference.
• Use the scanner's "Erase" or "Clear Codes" function to reset the check engine light.

4. Disconnect the Scanner

• Once the codes are cleared, safely disconnect the OBD-II scanner from the port.

5. Verify Reset

• Start the engine and observe if the check engine light remains off after a few moments of idling.
