The check engine light is a notification that the computer has detected a problem. You need to connect a diagnostic scanner to the vehicle and see what the code is saying.

How do you reset computer on 1997 buick park ave after changing the battery?
Changing the battery will not make the light come on. The computer will automatically recalibrate itself after a few driving cycles. If the check engine light is on, you have a problem with the emissions system. Have the computer scanned with an OBD2 scan tool.
