Check engine light or OBD2 reader eraser
 

Hi All,

How do I turn off the check engine light? The car won't pass inspection
with it on. I tried disconnecting the battery but nothing happened. I
found some check engine code readers/erasers on EBay here
http://stores.ebay.com/OneSmartMove

Has anyone tried similar one?

Thanks,

Easiest way is to find the problem that is causing the light to come on.
Next fix the problem. The light will take care of itself!

In most, if not all states that require emissions inspection, turning the
CEL off won't help you. The reason is that the moment you do that, something
called a 'monitor' in the computer changes status to 'not ready'. It becomes
'ready' again when the vehicle has been through a driving cycle, which
requires a mix of city and highway driving etc. Assuming that the problem
which caused the CEL to turn on in the first place did not somehow
miraculously cure itself, by the time the monitor is ready, the CEL will be
on again. Sorry to rain on your parade -- you really need to fix the
vehicle. And when you do, please pat yourself on the shoulder for doing your
part to keep this earth green.

The problem with your statement "fix your vehicle" is that very often
the vehicle meets emissions criteria with the check engine light on. I
have had this happen to me on two different vehicles--a '97 V8 Explorer
and a 2000 Avalon. Using the car's computer to give the answer instead
of doing a true emissions test is bad politics.

Go to either AutoZone or Advance Auto and ask them to do a free read on your
vehicle.( I always tip the guy something) Then ask for the code and
problem, post it here and someone smarter than myself can help!
