you can use either a obd 2 machine to erase the code or yo can take the leads off the battery for 30 sec and then put them back on. but if the car still have a problem, the check engine light will come back on later on wen it finds the problem again
Problem with emission system - have vehicle scanned to determine problem
How do I get the code
If the 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage won't start and has the service engine light on, you probably have an issue with a sensor. This could be a problem with an electrical or oxygen sensor.
DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE
The check engine light on new cars covers so many different components, there is no way to know until you hook up an OBD I capable scan tool.
There is no reset button for the check engine light. You can have Mitz. do it for $$$ or you can remove the negative battery line for a few seconds and replace. That will reset the check engin light.
The proper course of action is to have the car serviced by an authorized garage, who will reset the service light when they're done.
If not installed properly check engine light will illuminate
service engine soon you have a problem with your car that your ECM has detected
I HAVE A 2004 MITSUBISHI ENDEAVOR, AND THE ONLY TIME MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IS WHEN I FAILED TO CLOSE MY GAS CAP TIGHTLY. THE LONGEST THE LIGHT STAYED ON WAS FOR 3 DAYS AND THEN IT WENT OFF.
The owners guide for my '04 Endeavor says do not disconnect the battery I think, or the on board diagnostic record will be lost. maybe this would also clear the service engine light?
The 2002 Mitsubishi Gallant tail light fuse is located in the first column of the fuse box. The tail light relay switch is also in the fuse box, at the top of the third column.
