You have to find out what is wrong first or it will keep coming on. Get your local phone book out and call auto repair shops and ask if they do diagnostics. Unfortunately, this simple 5 minute procedure usually has a fee. I was lucky to find an honest mechanic in my town that admittedly says this should not be a charge because all the do is hook up a little clip that has a diagnostic machine to it and it give a code and tell them what is wrong. Sears does it and if you take the time to call around you may get lucky to. Going rate for the rip off artist is 50 - 75 dollars. I dont know if you have a Discount or Advanced auto but they do it for free too but only give you the code, they dont know what it is and then you call the dealer and ask them.
This one is easy.. somtimes the Check Engine light comes on because the fuel cap was not secured tightly after fueling.To reset C.E.L remove the negative battery cable from battery teminal wait 30 seconds.Then reconnect and secure batttery cable.If after starting your sedona the light stays off.Problem solved, If C.E.L returns there is probably another fault causing this. Diagnostics will be required...Good luck..2002 kia sadona owner.
No, that is a check engine light. You may need a sensor or have a sensor cleaned.
Repairing the fault which is causing the check engine light is the recommended way to go about doing this.
It is important to pay attention to the warning lights on a car. To reset a service engine light on a car, a person must fix the problem causing the light to go off.
Use one of those error code readers.
I just unscrew and take both battery cables off the battery for about 15 minutes and put back on. This should reset the engine light. The check engine light should go out. If it doesn't, you have trouble
Since the check engine light comes on, start by having the code pulled from the computer that is causing the check engine light to come on. Most auto parts stores will do this for free and tell you what might be wrong.
"Check Engine" light comes on when you turn ignition switch on and should go off when engine cranks.
The owners manul says......." with engine off, put key in ignition , turn to ON (do not crank over) push accelerator completely to the floor 5 times, turn off key. Start engine, Service Engine light should go off after a few seconds."

turn key on/engine off. step on gas pedal 5 times light should go out. key off. start engine and check lite.
Just fixed mine today. The dom light fuse in the engine fuse compartment was blown. The radio/power locks will go out as well if this fuse blows.
