Your mechanic would have had the entire old engine out including the battery, the old codes would have been cleared, sounds like your new engine has some issues. Have you checked the codes yet? You should check them before clearing.

Sounds like some BS to me. Jump the service connector with a paper clip and get the codes it's throwing.

you canot reset a check engine light! you can make it go away for a couple days,hours,minutes weeks but it will come back on.

they were made to tell us drivers HEY DUMB *** im SICK!!!!! lol

jump the connector under your glove box and check what codes its throwing. fix the problem and then itll turn off.

That's what he said! You are not fixing the problem causing the CEL to come on in the first place.
