how can I reset the check engine light on my Toyota Tacoma N300 (2016-Present)?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, vehicle owner’s manual.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface with the engine off.

2. Connect OBD-II Scanner

• Locate the OBD-II port, usually found under the dashboard near the driver's seat.
• Plug the OBD-II scanner into the port.

3. Turn on Ignition

• Turn the vehicle's ignition key to the "On" position without starting the engine, or press the start button without pressing the brake pedal.

4. Access Scanner Menu

• Follow the instructions on the scanner to navigate to the "Read Codes" option to verify there are codes present.
• Proceed to the "Clear Codes" option to reset the check engine light.

5. Verify Reset

• Turn the ignition off and then back on to check that the check engine light remains off.
• If the light reappears, further diagnostics may be needed to address any unresolved issues.
