Just from recent experience, I have noticed when my check engine light has come on and I want it to go away, I cycle the key to the position right before actually starting the car up three times. The real way to erase it is by using the diagnostic tool at your local autoparts store, plus its free!! An "Advance Auto Parts" or "AutoZone" or any other typical auto parts store will be able to hook up their OBD II device to your ODB II port typically under the dash, around/near the steering wheel. They can tell you what is giving the code, and also clear/reset the code. Now, if the light turns on again? Take it back there, have them give you the code again (if it's a new/different code) - have them reset it, then go have the problem fixed. I've also heard you can reset it by removing the negative terminal from the battery....but I'm not really a mechanic type....so not too sure.
What else can I help you with?
