You will have to drive it until it comes on.
Replacing the battery should not have triggered the check engine light. The check engine light comes on when there is a problem with the emission system. Saying that, I would drive it for a while to see if the light does go out. If the light does not go out have the ECU scanned to retrieve the trouble code. Then use this code to diagnose the problem.
Drive the vehicle for 5 full driving cycles and if the light stays off you are ok and can pass inspection.
you need to drive between 40 ti 50 miles to pass emission test , if the light comes back before that , you need to fix your car
The check engine light is on because the engine control module (ECM) senses a problem with the system. Resetting the check engine light without making repairs will only set the light back on again. Drive to your local auto parts store and have them read the codes that are set and with that information they can help you determine what needs to be done to cancel the check engine light. It would help to also list the year, make and model vehicle you have for us to help you.
Yes you can. But you will want to check you're engine soon.
It really depends on what the cause of the check engine light is.
