It's real simple, Just unhook the negitave terminal on the battery for a minute or so and then hook it back up. This emptys the computer memory. The light should now be off, but it will probably come back on sooner or later. My 1999 Rodeo has had the CEL on for over a year. Could be gas cap, EGR valve being dirty, EGR tube being pluged, clean um with carb cleaner. If the truck also uses lots of oil, check the above EGR problems. Some say Isuzu used the CEL (check engine light) to get owners to bring their trucks in to get high dollar service done on otherwise undamaged trucks. You be the judge. This is not an uncommon problem.
You'll need a ODBII code reader to reset the check engine. The connection is under the stearing colonm. First check the code, clear the problem and the reset the light.

The check engine light for the 2001 Isuzu Rodeo often comes on because of a sensor that is damaged or malfunctioning. The most common sensor is an oxygen sensor and when reset, this often allows the light to be reset.
Trying to clear the check engine light in a Kia Sorento yourself is not recommended. The check engine light could indicate a serious problem and the car should be inspected by someone qualified.
My check engine light has been on for one month but last night my check trans light flashed off and on about 3miles till I was home. Why and what do I need to do? I have a 2000 Isuzu rodeo.
I clear the check engine light with a Scangauge II. But most ODB-II devices can read and clear the code.
get a new one
A scan tool is required to clear the check engine light. If the failure is not repaired, the light will return.
There isn't a single fuse for the check engine light. See related questions for explanations of why the light comes on and how to clear it.
