Check Engine Light

Cjanik

I found the weirdest way to reset the CEL, it also displays the CEL code, its the last thing that will reset it or not.

1) turn ignition switch on and wait exactly 3 seconds (make sure your not pressing the brake or throttle)
2) within 5 seconds of step 1, depress the accelerator pedal and then release it 5 times
3) exactly 7 seconds after step 2, depress the accelerator pedal and hold it for 10 seconds until the CEL light starts blinking.
4) you can now let the accelerator pedal go and make note of the code that the CEL is giving you.
5)to reset the CEL, repeat steps 1-4, when you complete step 4, wait 10 seconds, then depress the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds again.
6)release the accelerator pedal, turn off the car, then fully turn on the car (make the engine run).

I did it this morning, thought it was a joke to make me look like an idiot but it worked, so if you just want the code, thats the way to do it, minus step 5 and 6.
