How do you reset check engine light?

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.

How do you reset the check engine light on a 2000 Toyota tacoma?

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.

If the check engine light on a Toyota T100 has come on what might be the problem?

I have had the check engine light come on twice in my 95 T-100 and both times it was a faulty oxygen sensor. My vehicle which is the 6 cyl model has two of these sensors. Both are quit pricy so it is best to have a service garage check to see which one is faulty before you replace them yourself. Also if you have removed the housing for the air filter this can cause a check engine light. Check to ensure that the housing is properly seated and the light should go out eventually.
