you need a scanner
A person can reset the check engine light by using an OBD scanner to clear the codes. This is after the problem is fixed.
The light is reset with a scan tool after the repair. There is not a button.
You can reset it with your OBD reader or you can disconnect the negative battery cable for a couple of minutes to reset the check engine light.
Unhook the battery for about 2 minutes and that will reset the computer.
I don't know about the 2000 year model directly but the 1996 is similar I am sure. To reset the "check engine" light, find the EFI fuse (probably under the hood in the fusebox on the driver's side) and with the engine off, remove it for one minute minimum. Replace the fuse and the "check engine" light should be reset.
With the proper scan tool.
auto zone can rest it for free
Have the problem that caused the check engine light to come on repaired. They will reset the light with an OBD2 scan tool. The light will just come back on if the problem is not repaired.
go to auto zone they will run the machine that tells you why the light is on and they can reset it with that
Disconnect battery and leave for about 10 min. Then reconnect. The check engine light went away on mine.
unplug the battery for 30 seconds.
