CEL light magically disappear?

I had my cel on for almost a year now. But last week while I was driving the light was not on. Since then it ever came back on. What is up with that? I didn't reset my battery either.

It probably burned out. Why did you leave the light on for a year and not get it checked?

I've had that same problem. My Check Engine Light came on so I took it *immediately* to the Dealership and had them take a look (i care about MYYYY CL! LOL). They checked out the engine then just ended up resetting the computer b/c nothing was wrong. I think it's a pretty common problem in these cars...

just pull the negative side off the battery for a minute then put it back on...CEL gone...if there is a problem i think it would come back

Mine has been on for about 2 years now - checked it out over a year ago and it came back some tranny shit so I just ignore it now. Brilliant, I know.

that happened to me...when i got my car, the check engine light came on but i never did anything about it, and after like a year... maybe a year and a day...it just turned off, i figured either it fixed itself or the bulb just went out...then like a few months later it came back on again....maybe after a year the car figures you aint gonna do shit about it and just says 'fuck it.'
