How Do I reset the Engine service light on a 1996 Inifiniti I30? Please help. thanks
A reset Engine Service Light comes on when an issue comes up with in the engine. This light can be reset by a tech or by fixing the problem.
You can only reset it with an OBDII diagnostic scaner
The service engine soon, or check engine, light is reset with a scan tool after repairing the cause of the trouble codes.
An Airbag service light can be reset by fixing the problem that caused it to go off. Unplug the battery for 30+ minutes, or clearing the codes with an OBD scanner.
well i know my focus service engine light was on and we just unhooked the battery for 20 seconds and now the light is off and it has been 1 month
Take it to a mechanic, and have them erase the codes. Auto zone and advance will not do it as they are not mechanics
Autozone will use the Engine Diagnostic Code Reader to read the codes and then ERASE/RESET the engine light. { Phone other autoparts stores to see if they provide similar service).

you need access to an OBDII scan tool in order to reset the check engine light on any vehicle 1996 or newer. autozone or advanced auto usually provide this service for free
To reset the "Service Engine Soon" light in a 1996 Geo Tracker, you can disconnect the negative battery terminal for about 15 minutes. This will reset the vehicle's computer and clear the light. Alternatively, you can use an OBD-I scanner to clear the trouble codes that triggered the light. However, it's important to address any underlying issues that caused the light to come on to prevent it from reappearing.
You may be able to reset it after you repair the problem that set the light in the first place, by disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes. That may not work on your 1996. If not, you will need an OBD scan tool to reset the light.
