There are at least three ways. The first one is the easiest, you have to bring the car to your mechanic. The second one is if you have a computer error code reader you can clear the computer memory. And the third one is to disconnect the battery for at least 5 minutes. It resets the computer and erases all codes from its memory.

Please, make sure that you have a reason to reset codes. If you don't pay attention to the codes in approximately 200 miles the light will come on again. It will repeat until you fix the problem or the engine dies. Also if you reset codes and try to pass inspection it will not work because readers which are used by car services will indicate that codes were recently erased.

How can you reset check engine light in Toyota Camry 2001 other than disconnecting battery because it is done and got back again?

If you reset the computer then the Check Engine light comes back on, it just means that the problem still exists. You need to use a code scanner, find out what's wrong, fix the problem properly THEN see if the light comes back on. Often when the problem is properly repaired the light will go off by itself and you don't need to clear the code.

How do you reset the engine light on a 2008 Toyota Camry?

the correct way is to use an OBD tool, and clear the codes out of the computer. you can also disconnect the negative terminal on the battery for 5 min. i am baffled as to why you would want to clear the code and not find out what the problem is, if the light is on, you can take it to autozone and they will scan the computer too see what the problem is with the car. .
