Check engine light
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 sone on EBay here http://stores.ebay.com/OneSmartMove Has anyone tried similar one? Thanks, |

You're too stupid to handle even an extreme-idiot light. Something like taking your car to a car parts place that offers free diagnostic readouts, like autozone, is going to be too much for you. |

Actually find out what caused the light to come on, which involves getting the code, finding out what the code means, finding out what caused the error, and fixing it so the error doesn't happen again. How this is done depends a lot on the kind of car you have. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

YOU are exactly why taking a bus is NOT acceptable - sitting amongst a bunch of you's is just not something I can stand to do on a daily basis. And if you're not riding busses, you should be, because I don't want you on the road with me or anyone else for that matter! Cranking out real replies is too much for you; crawl back under your bridge. I now pronounce you a non-entity. |

They do NOT check the light here, or care - only the test results matter. You could have Check Engine, No Oil, Overtemp and any other lite you have on, and they would still go by the test results THEY get. Now, that would get you past the emissions tests if you passed, but ... dunno about the other inspections where you're located<g>. |

Turning off the check engine lights resets these so they all have to run again. Presumably whatever caused the check engine light to come on will cause it to come on again by the time the monitors are complete. Just in case you are having trouble getting it, it will either fail for monitors incomplete or the detected fault which you are apparently loath to have diagnosed and repaired. Of course since you chose to withhold the make and model of your vehicle as well as where the vehicle is registered -- which determines what the applicable emissions standards are -- any answer you receive from me or anyone else is 98% speculative and useless. > I tried disconnecting the battery but nothing happened. That normally won't erase fault codes on 96 or newer. But, for all we know, this is a heavy duty diesel and not OBDII compliant. |I found sone on EBay here http://stores.ebay.com/OneSmartMove Why not spend the money on getting the problem diagnosed?
