Either try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes or have vehicle scanned and codes cleared
Have the computer scanned. Then have the problem fixed that has set the code.
Yes. Once the car's computer is no longer see the malfunction, it will no longer turn on the check engine light. Have the car diagnosed to find out the exact problem.
The check engine light comes on in a car when there is a problem with the engine. It will go off or be reset when the problem is fixed.
You have to plug it into a computer/diagnostics machine for it to reset. Also, you will see that the code for your problem is fixed, or not.
If the problem is fixed, the computer will pass when it runs its self diagnostics and the light will eventually turn off.
You need a auto scanner, it reads codes on your onboard computer. If the problem is not fixed the light will keep coming on. After the problem is fixed you can use the scanner to turn off the check engine light. Auto scanner can be expensive but if you like to work on your own vehicles it will pay for it self, if not go to your local dealership and they will read the codes but like i said the problem will have to be fixed.
The computer has detected a problem with the emissions controls. Have the computer scanned for trouble codes. Get this fixed, as it can cause other parts to fail, as in, the catalytic converter, O2 sensor.
Yes, once the computer has run its diagnostics enough times with passing results it will clear the light.
If the problem was not fixed, then yes.
That depends on how long it takes the computer to run the self diagnostics that check the failed component. could be back on in seconds or weeks.
On most vehicles, after the problem is taken care of, the check engine light resets automatically after the ignition is turned off and then the engine is started again. If you have fixed one problem, a second problem probably exists.
If you got the model with the self diagnostic computer, it has to reset it self which takes roughly about 50 crank cycles unless it has detected another problem.
