How do you reset the service engine soon light on a BMW 325i?
Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem (usually in the emission control system) and have codes cleared
Both of my late model vehicles do this; the fuel injected vehicles have a variation of a idle speed motor/ idle speed control valve/ many different names. What they do is adjust the idle. Many times they can cause a slight lean condition which manifests itself as a slight rough idle. I would not worry about it and don't throw dollar bills at it.
Your car engine light came on and the code is p0440 what is this?
The P0440 code is for an EVAP system leak. This code sets when the vehicle's computer detects that the EVAP system cannot seal itself after running the onboard diagnostic test that it runs at random times once enable criteria has been satisfied. The problem could be something as simple as a loose gas cap or an inoperatve purge or vent solenoid or as complex as a wiring issue or as expensive as a powertrain control module (PCM) the vehicle's computer. Always perform a visual inspection of the EVAP system prior to replacing any parts, because guessing can get to be very expensive rather quickly. As I mentioned make sure the gas cap is adequately tightened and if you are somewhat mechanically knowledgeable follow all of the lines coming off the fuel tank to where they end paying close attention to good connections or any physical damage such as a crack, split or broken line.

Disconnecting the battery will reset the light on most, but not all, 1995 & older cars, but on 1996 and newer cars this will rarely reset the light. It requires an OBD2 scan tool to reset the light on most newer cars.

How do you reset the check engine light on a 1998 Toyota Rav 4?
First, if it is something like a loose gas cap, just tighten it and it will reset itself in the next 100 miles or so. If it is something else, like a leaky gas cap it will never reset. But to reset the OnBoardDiagnostic (OBD)Computer... Go to eBay and search "obdII" and buy one, they run about $50.00 including shipping. There are two types, ISO for Chrysler and some Japanese, and the other one for all the others like Ford and GM. There are several that are both, that is the kind you want. Be sure to email the eBay seller and ask if it is used with your year and model. (1996 was a changeover year for OBDII technology, so this advice may not apply to everybody--but the dealer service guy can tell you over the phone--ask him if it is OBDII compliant.) When you get it, you just plug it in and let it cycle 4 or 5 times and it resets everything. You then have to drive your car for 50 to 100 miles for the onboard computer to test everything, and in the meantime your car will fail smog checks because it has no history in the computer and the smog test procedure demands a history even if there is no pollution. Cut and Paste http://search.ebay.com/OBDII for a list of them for sale on eBay. Most units come with a list of generic fault codes so you can tell what the problem is, this could be very helpful.
Take it to a qualified mechanic. Some Autozone employees are good, others are not too intelligent.
