I can think of 3 ways to accomplish this:- 1) Use a “Code Reader” with Re-Set capability. 2) Use a “Scan Tool”. Check out Pep Boys, Cragen, etc for a loaner at low/no cost. 3) Disconnect the negative battery lead for about 60 seconds. # 1 & 2 will provide you with the reason for any trouble codes. # 3 will completely reset the computer and it will have to re-learn it’s trim settings. Also it will remove any programmed radio stations. Regards from C-F

How do you reset the computer after taking loose the battery cable?
Usually, disconnecting the battery cable is what resets your car's computer(s) ... typically reverting to "default" settings and (sometimes) clearing any trouble codes. Generally, there's no need to do anything after you've reconnected the battery. Some cars have "learning" modes that adjust various settings based on your driving style, and it might take some time for the computer to re-learn everything. But there shouldn't be a big difference. A few cars have language display settings (German/English, for example) that "toggle" from one to the other each time the battery is disconnected. The owner's manual should explain how this works.
What do you do when the engine service soon light on a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero is on but the oil and filters and everything is good?
This light indicates that you have an emissions contol problem, if the engine is not running poorly or if the vehicle is driving normally it may just be a sensor. Usually you will cause no further damage by driving your car. Inorder to properly diagnose your car you will need to have a technician read the code stored in the engine computer and diagnose it. ... you can try disconnecting the battery for one min. then reconnect the battery. (this in most cases will reset the computer) then drive tha car and see what happens... Good luck.

Changing the battery will not make the light come on. The computer will automatically recalibrate itself after a few driving cycles. If the check engine light is on, you have a problem with the emissions system. Have the computer scanned with an OBD2 scan tool.
Dash Lights Going on and off Headlights dim when driving along.?
I'd check your alternator. Disconnecting the positive terminal while the engine is running will tell you. If the engine dies when you disconnect the battery, it's your alternator. If it keeps running it's something else, like your battery. I had the same problem.
