Yes you can! I drove one of my vehicles for over seven years with that stupid light on, and every time I had it turned off (5 times), within five miles of leaving the mechanics it would come back on. Finally a mechanic told me the timing belt was off a couple of notches, and he was right. It's now fixed and that stupid light never caused any problems with the performance of the vehicle and am still driving it today. It's a 1998 Ford Contour. R/Dave

Will check engine light go off after I drive awhile since it came on after the battery was changed?
Replacing the battery should not have triggered the check engine light. The check engine light comes on when there is a problem with the emission system. Saying that, I would drive it for a while to see if the light does go out. If the light does not go out have the ECU scanned to retrieve the trouble code. Then use this code to diagnose the problem.
