Want this question answered?
There are dozens and dozens of causes for the check engine light to stay on. You need to have the computer checked for codes to know possible causes.
Is there a reset button on a 1996 rav4? Had it checked out, and said it need spark plugs and wires. Replaced it and check engine light still on.
With an OBD2 scan tool.
if your check engine light is on your computer is reading a default code and needs to be serviced by a mechanic there is no fuse to control the light
Every vehicle has warning lights to inform the driver of things going on. The check engine light comes on because there is something going wrong with the engine.
Check engine light on, tires not inflated properly, driving habits,
Try to unplug the positive of the battery for a few seconds then put it back on(if your light comes back after a while then you should go to make it check)
1998 rav4 engine wont idle and clacking noise from under timing belt cover
Try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes - or have vehicel scanned to determine problem and have codes cleared
Just disconnect the battery for a couple of minutes, and that will clear the error code that's causing the "Check Engine" light to come on. Careful with those pesky little clips to the battery compartment cover...they break easily.
You are going to have to take the vehicle into a service center for it to turn off. The light is a safety feature letting you know something is wrong with your car.
well you don't. there is no reset on the check engine light. have someone run a scan on your rav and see what code it has. you can find out what's the problem is. and get it fixed. the most common code is a po401. and most of the time it is the svs switch that needs to be replaced. i just did mine about three weeks ago. by the way check out rav4world on the net. alot of good info there on your rav4 4.1.
