How do you reset the check engine light on a 2002 Toyota Highlander 2wd 30L 6cyl?
You should be able to un-hook the battery and then hook it back up and the check engine light should automatically go off.
Another option is to Remove the fuse labeled GFI for about 30 seconds. So, if you don't want to mess with the battery terminals, you can just easily remove this fuse for 30 seconds and pop it back in. Problem solved.
You further won't have to re-set everything electronic (Clock, etc.) as you would if you disconnect the battery.

What happens when light inthe shape of a car comes on: Make sure the lights are oem purchased lights and not from a auto zone or other parts store. The rear prones has to match correctly or waring will remain on dash.
The fault must be cleared using a tester. This is a general answer, as in for many cars...yours may require a manual reset: After correcting the problem, say replacing the Mass sensor, the light will reset but only after the car has the opportunity to run through all it's checks and the computer agrees. This can take a few miles or even several hundred, and sometimes requires a few turn on and offs. Alternatively, if you made a good guess, even checked the code, but didn't fix all the things causing the CEL to go on, it isn't going to go off!

How do you reset the check engine light on a 2003 Toyota Camry?
The best way:
Take it to your local retail auto parts store. Most of these stores will plug in their scan tool and tell you what turned on the light.
If it is something that just needs to be reset they can do that also.
If it is something that will just turn the light back on they will tell what the code says, you will have to get the problem fixed so the light will go out.
The service engine light came on because the OBD (on board diagnostics) system detects something is wrong. The OBD system has set codes. You need to have the codes read to determine what to do next. Many auto parts stores will read the codes from your vehicle for zip if you purchase the parts necessary to make repairs from them. It may be as simple as a tune up.
