To turn off the "Service Engine Soon" light in a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer, you can first try disconnecting the battery for about 10-15 minutes, which may reset the light. However, it's essential to address the underlying issue that triggered the light in the first place. Use an OBD-II scanner to read any trouble codes, diagnose the problem, and fix it before resetting the light. If the light persists after repairs, it may require a professional inspection.
You will have to have a engine scanner to do that. But something made it come on and if you did not fix the problem it will just come back on again. HAVE ENGINE SCANED SOME PARTS STORES WILL DO IT FOR FREE.
Have the computer scanned with an OBD2 scan tool. Some auto parts stores will do this for free.
