To reset the check engine light for inspection, you can disconnect the car's battery for about 15 minutes, which will clear the error codes. Alternatively, you can use an OBD-II scanner to erase the codes directly from the vehicle's computer. Make sure to resolve any underlying issues before resetting the light, as it may come back on if the problem persists. Finally, drive the vehicle for a few cycles to ensure any readiness monitors are set before the inspection.

Remove the battery cables for 5 minutes, should do it. Then the computer will reset and relearn after driving again. If a major fault was present before, it will return via the check engine light. If you need an inspection, then unhooking the battery for 5 minutes and driving maybe 20-40 miles and then going for inspection may do the trick. There is a small window where the check engine light hasn't come on yet and the IM monitors are mostly ready for inspection.....just before the check engine light comes on again. It will pass, in this window. But when the check engine light comes on again, it will not pass.

Unplug the battery for 15 mins will reset the check engine light, but watch will reset all your sensors to. Personal experience it will not read for at least 100 miles, so dont do it when you need an inspection
