How do you turn off sevice engine light 1996 saturn?

Answer 1

It does absolutely NO good to turn off the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) as long as there is a malfunction somewhere in the control system.

To turn off the MIL, put a jumper wire across pins 1 and 2 of the diagnostic port, then turn on the key (don't start the engine).

With the jumper in place, the computer should start flashing the code MIL to indicate the problem.

First the computer will flash once (1), then twice (2), indicating code 12. Code 12 means that the computer will display any stored codes.

The computer will flash 12 three times, then it will go on to display any other stored codes (again, flashing the code three times), pausing between each different code.

After the computer has displayed all stored codes, it will start over and flash 12.

Write down the stored code numbers and either look them up or take them to an auto parts retailer (such as OReilly, or Auto Zone) and if they have a knowledgeable parts clerk, you should be able to figure out what's causing the MIL to be on. Once the faulty part has been replaced, the light should go out.

Other than that, the computer will continue to turn on the MIL as long as there is an engine malfunction.

Answer 2

Either try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes or have the vehicle scanned to determine the problem and have the codes cleared

Turn the key to On, tap the gas paddle 3 times, turn the key off, then start the car.
