Reset CEL?
Just yesterday I had the CEL come on and the Nav message told me it is A P0170 code. I've done a little searching and am aware of what the code is and possible solutions. What I didn't see was how to reset to CEL. Lots of posts have said I just reset the CEL but didn't exlain how to do so.
Can someone tell me how to reset the CEL? 08 TL Type-S

Thanks! I figured that would work but wasn't sure if there was a shortcut like resetting the oil life indicator.

Well when I was running errands this afternoon, I looked down at the dashboard and the CEL is no longer on. I didn't do anything in terms of resetting it, it apparently went out on its own. Maybe a certain number of ignition cycles reset it? So guessing maybe just a fluke. I didn't really think anything was wrong in the first place as there was no misfiring, hard starting and as far as I could tell MPG hadn't changed (only 1 day driving). I was simply going to reset it and watch to see if it came back. Guess I'll just keep an eye on it

Just an update - 3+ months later and the code has never reappeared. Guess it was just a fluke -

So a couple of weeks short of 4 years later - same code pops up.... I'm going to wait a couple of days and see if it resets again. No change in performance or mileage

Sounds like a lazy o2 sensor on its way out. (according to code p0170).

Could be - I'll report back in a week or so. I need to change out my left CV joint so may have my mechanic look at it.
