Check Engine Light

[The Stang GT]

Hey guys, just wondering if anybody would be able to help me and tell me how to manually shut the check engine light off, because it is on for no reason, how can i fix this problem, thanks!!!

on for no reason? so do u have an o/r pipe? if so get a pair of M.I.L. eliminators, other wise the ''check engine'' light was designed for a reason.

Get the code scanned. It goes on for a reason.

get it scanned. Though, if it is bugging you that much, then you can shut it off by unplugging the neg. terminal on the battery for 10-15 mins. This kills the KAM (keep alive memory). The light will then be off, but if there is a problem, it will come back on (the SES) within the next 500 miles after clearing the fault.

Have you tried checking for codes? If so what code are you getting?

Disconnecting the neg cable will earase all the codes that the EEPROM has stored.

Get it scanned first and then let them reset the ecu.

it's on for a reason it didnt just come on to say hello. You should get it scanned and see what is throwing the code to come on.

they will scan it free at autozone and usually tell you what needs replacing or they will give you the codes then print in a thread. easy enough
