Since you’re here wondering how to reset check engine lights on your car, that likely means that you’ve either already deduced that there’s nothing wrong with your car, or you don’t think the issue is pressing enough to resolve it right now. However, if there is any issue with your car that causes the check engine light to come on, we suggest you do not ignore the problem but instead have it taken care of as soon as possible. If you do not have your car serviced for this issue, it could lead to further repairs down the line. So, if you think there is an issue with your vehicle, schedule a service with us so you can comfortably and safely get back onto Dayton’s streets!
In the chance that you cannot locate an issue that needs to be fixed and the light is still on, you can manually reset the check engine light. To do this fairly simple process, just follow the steps listed below:
Note that doing this could reset your vehicle’s Uconnect (or other infotainment) system. While this should work and keep your check engine light from being on, if it doesn’t, there is another option. If you need to replace your battery, read our guide on how to properly install a new car battery.
One reason why your vehicle’s check engine light may be on could be due to a cracked or loose gas cap. If your gas cap is faulty, it will release fumes and should illuminate your car’s check engine light. If you have a cracked cap, then you may have to replace it. Otherwise, you can always turn of your car and check to see if the cap is tightened, then turn it back on and see if the light turns off. If not, try disconnecting the battery from the steps listed above and see if that works!
