To turn off this light. you will need to address and fix the problem while also resetting the light. Here are the steps: First. use an OBD2 scanner vehicle diagnostic scanner to determine the error code that caused the check engine light to turn on. These scanners are commonly used and reasonably priced. Next. troubleshoot the issue based on the error code. It could be a simple fix or a more complex one.

If all else fails. schedule an appointment with a mechanic who can conduct a more thorough diagnostic test and fix any remaining issues. Always
