Well if the engine light is on, it usually means there is a DTC (diagnostic trouble code). You need to have it checked out and find out what the problem isthat threw thecode and how to fix it, or it will just pop up again and again. But if you just want it to go away temporarily, all you need to do is disconnect the battery completely (positive and negative cables) and wait about 3 minutes for the computer to discharge and reset. NOTE:that after doing this, the engine is going to run a little rougher than your used to as it has been completely reset (as if it was brand new) and has to relearn itself all over again. Hope that helps. http://www.rav4world.com
