Best Answer

The engine service light is on because there is a problem. The problem has to be fixed before the light can be reset. Your local auto parts store can plug a scanning device into your car and read the trouble code(s). They won't charge you for this service if you purchase the parts needed to repair the car from them.

The best thing to do if to have a code reader hooked up and read the trouble codes the reader can also clear the codes once you have read them. If the problems aren't fixed the light will come back.

Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes. This should reset it. If it comes back on, you have a problem with the engine management system.
