HELP! How do you reset "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT"!

Hey Everyone,
I was wondering if any of you had a problem with your "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT," not the maintence required light? Does anyone know how to reset that sucker? Please let me know. Thanks.

It depends on why it is set. You can pull the No. 11 fuse or disconnect the battery (among other ways) on the passenger side fuse box and it will reset if it was not an active code. But if the problem that set the code persists then it will stay on.

Start off by disconecting the battery. If it comes back on then u got to then take the car to an auto parts store for them to throw on a scan tool and find what caused the check engine light.
