Borrow, rent or buy an up-scale OBD-II code scanner for a GM vehicle. You should then be able to plug in the scanner and clear the codes. If the scanner does not turn off the light, you might want to find out if something else is wrong. In any case, it's a good idea to have your own code scanner, and the upgraded version is better since it lets you clear codes. if the problem is fixed then your pcm will shut it off automatically after 50 or so starts with the code not being thrown again. or you can take it to autozone and they will shut it off for you free of charge.

It's called dieseling, and i had the problem in my 87 Caprice for a while. A quick solution is to shut your truck off while it's still in gear and put it in park when the engine completely shuts off.

What are ways that you can turn off your check engine light?

You can try disconnecting the battery negative cable for 5 minutes. If that does not work then you will have to use a scan tool to reset the light. Know that if you do not repair the problem that caused the light to come on, it will just come right back on.


1998 Jeep Cherokee check engine light came on the jeep is running fine?

If the check engine line is flashing then that means there is a real problem and you should have it looked at, But if the light is on and NOT flashing the it is most likely a problem with the emmisions system and most likely an oxygen sensor.
