THERE IS MORE THAN ONE

AnswerPresuming you didn't manually reset the code reader, which is done by using a computer plugged into the system (in which case it better be cleared for at least a short while or you've got a bad sensor, reader or elec connection), not terribly plain English of how I understand it:

There is a part of the sensor/computer operations that continually runs tests automatically and records values (that can differ), but if accumulated (the term I always heard) over a few runs indicate a problem then identifies and sends the error code. If you haven't reset it, just driving the car with a good 02 sensor through a few cycles...which are also determined by on off of key, until it overrides itself and sees a good reading and turns off light is all that is needed. Differs as does the computer determing good values and what tests to run when, but a handlful of on offs and 50 miles or so is standard to do it.

Engine light on 1997 Toyota Camry EGR valve was replace the check engine light is still on diagnostic was done at two places the result of both was EGR how can i tune the engine light off?

What did the diagnostic code tell you before you replaced the EGR valve? You should not have replaced the EGR valve unless you have already run a diagnostic code otherwise you probably just wasted money. Oxygen sensors are a more common problem, especially since they routinely wear out. Also, map sensor, throttle position sensor, crankshaft position sensor... and a whole lot more, can cause a check engine light to come on. Don't guess; run a diagnostic code and figure out what the computer is detecting. Then replace ONLY what the computer indicates has failed.
