Just got CEL

I did a search first but could not find the answer...

Is there a way I can see what code they CEL is throwing?

Is there a way to reset the CEL (and Service light)?

Thanks all!

What exactlu do you got on? CEL - MIL - orange triangle and check engine or no? Be more percise. MIL light alone apears only when you turn off tractin control, MIL or CEL ( whatever you want to call it ) and check engine, indicates some sort of problem - resetable and readable only by obd scanner or HDS unit

Did they open fuel cap while car was running? Sometimes these morons do that for some reason and it will throw in EVAP code. If you do not have scanner just go to any AutoZone - they will clear it for you

Take the car to Autozone and have them read the code for free. They should also be able to reset the CEL for you.
