1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools (OBD-II scanner).
  • Make sure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface with the engine off.
2. Connect OBD-II Scanner
  • Plug the OBD-II scanner into the vehicle’s OBD-II port, typically located under the dashboard on the driver’s side.
  • Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
3. Read Error Codes
  • Follow the scanner manufacturer’s instructions to read and record any error codes.
  • Clear the codes from the scanner by selecting the "Erase Codes" or "Clear" function.
4. Turn Off Ignition
  • Turn the vehicle's ignition off completely after the codes have been cleared.
  • Disconnect the OBD-II scanner from the port.
5. Start the Engine
  • Start the engine to see if the check engine light remains off.
  • Allow the engine to run for a few minutes to ensure the light does not reappear.
