Clearing a check engine light (CEL) without a scanner involves a few simple steps, but be mindful this action doesn't fix underlying issues, just resets the light. First, disconnect your car's battery by removing the negative cable; wait for about 15 minutes, allowing the vehicle's electrical system to reset. Reconnect the cable, which should clear the CEL, as the stored error codes are erased. Another method is to drive your car and let the light clear itself. Modern vehicles' systems perform checks, and if the issue no longer exists, the CEL may turn off after several driving cycles. However, addressing the root cause is crucial. Ignoring persistent engine issues may lead to more serious, costly problems. Always consider a professional diagnosis if the light returns.
Here are the general steps you'll need to take in order to replace the engine air filter of a 2017 Nissan Altima:
Materials You Will Need:
1. New air filter (purchase the correct one for your vehicle model)
2. Screwdriver (depending on car model)
Make sure you're parked on a level surface and have put your car in park and pulled the parking brake before starting this task.
Steps:
1. Open the hood: Find the hood release inside your car (usually located under the steering column) and pull it firmly. Go to the front of the vehicle and feel under the hood for another latch to lift the hood up completely.
2. Locate the air filter box: The air filter is usually located at the top of the engine in a black plastic box. It should have a thick, ribbed tube going towards the engine.
3. Remove the air filter box cover: The cover is typically held in place by four to six metal clips. You just need to unlatch these and gently lift up the cover. In some cases, you may need to unfasten some screws.
4. Take out the old filter: Lift the old air filter out of the box. Be careful not to knock any debris into the bottom of the box.
5. Clean the air filter box: Now that the old filter is out, it's a good idea to clean out the box in which it sits before putting in the new filter. Simply wipe it out with a damp cloth.
6. Insert the new air filter: Place the new air filter in the box. Make sure it's sitting flat all the way around.
7. Reinstall the box cover: Replace the cover and hook the clips back into place. If your cover was held by screws, screw them back in.
Close the hood securely when you’re done.
Remember safety first. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this task, you should seek help from a professional mechanic. Make sure to refer to the owner’s manual for more precise instructions based on your specific model.
