can you reset the ecu somehow to get check engine light to go out on a 97 hatch

 

if your cel is on then chances are there might be something wrong. unless youre talking about the "maintenance required" light, in which case you just stick your key in the hole below it to reset it to green

you also might not have clicked your gas cap 3 or more times the last time you put gas in it. it should take a couple trips to go off

 

disconnect your negative on your battery

 

you can with an obdII scanner

 

does it turn red when it needs maintenance, cuz it looks like its red on mine.

 

thats the maintance, that means you need a check up and oil change blah blah blah

 

Do all your maintenance then stick your key in the reset next to the red thing. It will turn green again.

 

its the same for a 96 ek right?

 

yea

 

its def the check engine light, i put a new o2 sensor in rear, didnt have one in there, so the check engine light was on. now that i put one in there do you have to have obd II scan tool to reset.
