Fix source of light and or pull battery terminal in a pinch lol

Take the bulb out the dash. Fix the problem and then clear it by disconnect the battery or the fuse for the ecu

disconnect the battery, the car will likely have to go through a few engine cycles and diagnosis before it will come back on again. If you know the issue causing the light then simply fix it

If your trying to get the car to pass inspection then pulling the light in the dash wont get it done, lol ive tried that

why?

no matter how you slice it you aren't deleting it without the obd-II port

Right. Plus, if all you are trying to do is clear an engine/CEL code, it is SO easy. Much easier than pulling the bulb or disconnecting the battery for a while.

Advance Auto and AutoZone can help you out with this for FREE.

As stated before, the best way to get rid of it is to fix the cause of it being on... {thumbup}

the obd2 scanner is free for use at autozone/advanced auto, and you can buy it if you want for i think 70 dollars, best way to go after a CEL is with this tool, get the code and post it up here, well help you diagniose the issue
