Help, my check engine comes on

I already did take off both the battery terminal and touch it together for 1 min, restart the car and the light still on.

I heard that if you switch gasoline brand, the lights will comes on, I was using Tesoro 92 gas for the last 6 yrs, and on the last 2 fill up, I use Chevron 92 oct, will that be the cause??

Is there a terminal below the glove box that I can connect to see the problem code?

I have a 96 2.5 TL

Thanks

You probably have emission problems. Take it to the dealer and have the car checked for the recall. Otherwise, the terminal should be under (behind) the ash/coin tray. Just grab the lib and pull up and out.
