Reset Check Engine Light


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 2004 Silverado CC 4x4 and the check engine light came on, I did a code check and it was 0141 and 0161 which I beleive is 02 sensor. Is there an easy way of resetting the check engine light to see if this is a real problem or just a sensor that may have been on the fritz? Pull a fuse or something?

One option is to disconnect the battery for about 10-15 minutes. I did that with my '02 silverado and it reset my check engine light.

 

You can also take it to an Autozone or O'Reily auto parts and see if they'll reset the code for you. They're not 'supposed' to, but if you get a guy who's not a jerk they'll either do it for you, or hand you the reader so you can clear it out.

I just went to the pawn shop as I was driving to princess auto to buy a code reader. found a $200 code reader for $60 and just went in and deleted the code.

OBD II Scan tool is the best way to read and interpret codes, then reset the CEL. That way you know what the code was for sure.
