Hi, I am new to this forum and have a quick question if anyone can help. I just got a 2002 S2000 about 2 months ago, and last time I went to put in gas, I didn't put the cap on properlly and my check engine light came on. Now does anyone know how to turn it off, with out going to the dealer.

Thanks
Sil

 

duh...how 'bout just disconnecting the neg. battery terminal?

 

Sorry, but I don't have the radio code, or else I would have done that already.

 

Something like this:

Put the key in, hold the trip button down for like 15 seconds while the key is the ACC or on position(one of the two) Then start the car while still holding the trip button and wait for the light to turn off. I'm not sure if it's exactly like that, but search on S2ki.com if it doesn't work.

Do you know anything about your car? The radio code is in the glove box.

That is the procedure to turn the maint reqd. light off.

 

Ah, I don't know. S2ki has a whole thread on it.

No biggie. Atleast you tried to offer good help

There was a thread not too long here on it also.

S2K Maint. Light Reset]

 

- to reset the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) just pull the 'backup' fuse from the fuse box, near the ecu, for about 15 seconds or so.

 

or remove your kick panel on the driver side and remove the power connector harness to reset the ecu without losing your radio code. By pulling the fuse, you'll lose your radio code. (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

 

The light went off by it self, but thanks for all the help.

a lot of times they'll do that if it was just on due to a loose gas cap
