The scanner can erase the codes and turn the light off but it'll just come back on again when the computer scans all the systems and finds that the problem that caused the light to appear in the first place is still present. The real way to make it go off is to fix the problem, indicated by the trouble codes found on the scanner.

To reset the check engine light on a 2001 Dodge Caravan, you can disconnect the negative battery terminal for about 15 minutes. This will clear the engine codes and reset the light. Alternatively, you can use an OBD-II scanner to clear the codes directly if you have access to one. However, if the underlying issue is not resolved, the light will likely come back on.
