Excellent advice and description! I was worried that the car was going to break down. Your video was so helpful as made the reset and solved the problem. Thanks very much from Singapore!🙏🙏

Have to say that your style of explaining this issue is easy to understand. You go step by step with detailed explanations covering any potential snags.

Nice! Saved me a $135 diagnostic fee from a mechanic when my "Check Engine" light came on and all I needed was a new $11 gas cap to pass the smog inspection. I had a feeling it was just the gas cap when I ran an analytics check, but the mechanic said he would need to charge me a full analytics fee to reset the check engine light. Thank you!

Great!!! I like your explanation ,straight and on point. Appreciate your Sir.

Thank you, It worked perfectly the first time.

Thank you so much. I went straight to the second option and it worked!

Thank you so much, & thank you for speaking clearly and then saying the process again.

It was helpful. Jimny 2012 engine light pops up. No problem actually with the car. Greetings from Taiwan! I disconnected it then I turned on interior lights, it worked like a breeze

Hey thanks! I was able to do this successfully!

Excellent, thank you 🙏 mate You saved my money and time

PERFECT!!! Thanks. It worked

I just had my check engine light come on this morning, found this video and it worked for my 09 Honda Accord ex-l v6 ! Thanks man!

5:00pm-EST. June 14th. 2011 Ford F150XL. 2 weeks ago, my Truck wouldn't start. I was stranded outside of town, with a trailer loaded. Engine would crank. No start. Called for town truck and towed 10 miles back to town. 1 repair shop open. They pulled in diagnostics, cleared codes and started truck. $300.00 for tow, diagnostics and repair. Lean code. Today, same kind of event. Loaded trailer and blocking alley. I called local mechanic and asked if I disconnected battery would it clear code. Maybe he said. I disconnected positive for a minute, reconnected, try to start. No go. I then disconnected negative and positive,waited a minute and then reconnected. Started right up. Got to disconnect negatives. Bottom line? Cost nothing and got me out of trouble. Excellent fix.

Thank you so much for this video . I knew I needed oil in my car and I did my oil change and needed to reset my check engine light! 1st try worked perfectly 2:02

Friend, you've been a great help; I did the later with my 2006 Cadillac DTS to clear error codes, and it worked marvellously. God bless you 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀.

Thanks! The method worked for my 2005 Honda Civic

Worked like a charm! Thank you.

Worked brilliantly on my wife's 1.4 opel corsa d series. Thank you so much.

I learned this by accident, kinda. My battery lights were left on overnight and I recharged the batteries/jump started the car and noticed the service engine light was now off. Now I know why!!! thanks.

Worked the first time, great tip Thanks

Absolutely Work100%! Thank you so much

I thank God that I found this video. Here’s my little story. I have a 2016 Chrysler 200. My engine light has been on for a longtime. I thought at first it was oil. I did the oil change, but the engine light stayed on. This year I had to take it for inspection at the MVA. It failed, the results showed e11u9, that’s active grill shutter. I bought the active grill shutter replacement. I took the car to a mechanic. The guy checked the car before he can work on it. He said, there must be another problem cause my active grill shutter looks fine. I went to Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep around here. They charged me $1100 to check the car and fix it. In all these places at least I didn’t pay yet. I was weighing my options. My last due date of inspection was 2 days, m I’ve already extended twice, so they didn’t grant another extension. I found this video a night before the inspection. I woke up in the morning do this trick and to my surprise it worked for the first time, my engine light was off. I didn’t switch my car off, I took it to the MVA, they scanned it and they didn’t find nothing and it passed. So I don’t agree with people on here who said it only works with oil problem. My problem wasn’t oil, it was active grill shutter and it worked.

Awesome free fix. Definately will be my first try. 👍🏾

I truly thank you for this reset car engine light.

Worked like magic 🙏🏾 thanks a million

Your a legend man. Worked first time. 🙏

Great tip. Thank you.

Thank you very much it works I have done the first step for a friend's car and fixed.

It worked ! Thanks

Great video, very informative. If I may make a suggestion. When it happened to my Pickup I was going to follow your instructions but since I had just recently gassed up I figured I would try taking the gas cap off and put it back on first. After driving it for a few days it luckily turned off. I don’t really know much about fixing newer cars but I try to do the simplest first, thanks for sharing

Hey that was quick and easy. Thanks for this tutorial, worked great..2008 Nissan Maxima

Thank you so much man for the information. I did exactly as you explained in disconnecting the negative post on the battery. After reconnecting it, to my joy and delight, the engine light was no longer on...Thanks again😀

Sounds good but you didn't say anything about after doing this, you can't immediately go and get an inspection because the computer will be clear and they won't pass it. It needs to be driven 50 to 100 miles or a full drive cycle to get all 8 codes back set on "ready". So many videos tell you the trick but fail to tell the rest. I wish I would've known this prior to resetting it and then trying to go get an inspection right after I did it. Being on a time crunch I thought this quick fix would work right before the inspection but now I know.

Amazing , it works as you said, thanks !

Actually, after car sat for 9 hours at work, coming home the engine light is off now. So far, So good... 👍

Saved me $200. This video is amazing!

Great initial "fix", but if the light comes on again, get it checked.

Worked great on my 2013 nissan altima. I replaced my solenoids and the light needed to be reset. I followed this with the battery and it's out. Thank you!

It worked for me as well. Thanks for the hack

WOW…..if You Car Just Got Shipped, and Spent over 1-4 months seaways this Trick will come in Helpful… Thanks Bro

Thank you so much!! It definitely worked!!!

Many thanks, problem sorted

My stupid scan tool couldnt remove a stored code ...but your method did ....thanks very much my car passed inspection

Alternatively to save the hastle of disconecting the battery, you can just remove the fuse marked engine and then put it back in. 😉👍 thanks for the tip tho because my oil was about half way down and the light came on. After topping up the oil i didnt know how to get it to turn off and thats when i searched and your video came up. So i thought id just try the fuse box inside the car as that must surly do the same thing. I removed the fuse marked engine 15 amps and sure enough the light was reset. Easy as and faster than finding the 10mil spanner. 😉👍

Thank you so much for this video! The check engine light is off and stayed off!!

Thanks a lot brother, it works

Thank you so much for the help

worked like a charm

EVERYBODY IS A FN CRITIC!! I dont see any of you schmucks making any videos!! Thanks for this, going to try it right now!!

Brilliant video thanks from uk 🇬🇧 so if the problem is been fixed then should it stay off

I removed the negative connection of the battery for a couple minutes, then the “Check Engine” light was gone. Thank you!

Worked on 2008 Honda Odyssey! Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

Worked like a charm! Honda CRV

Life saver! Thankssss

Thanks. It worked

Very true i tried it and it worked correctly for me

Thanks bud☺️💛

He probably thought you knew😮....I learned step by step.

Sounded good !

Thanks, it works.

Thank you.👍👍👍

I knew I was taking good care of my car! Last time the CEL turned on, I assumed I just needed to get an oil change and the engine would be cleaned up and I was right. This time I did the same thing and the light stayed for a good while and I was a bit paranoid. I don't abuse my 2004 Honda civic, I don't speed and let my car slowly speed up when I have to, I brake slowly and way ahead of time and my turns are neat. I tend to top off my brake, power steering and coolant fluids, my workplace is seventeen minutes away (I would run if I didn't have to get up so early and I had to for a week when I was getting some work done on my car so I was on foot and would have to get up at three in the morning and pray while running that I get there early so I can leave early) and way less if there's no traffic and my friends live about eleven minutes away so it's not a whole lot of work for my car. I tried out this technique and it worked so I'm really happy and would like to give OP many thanks! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Thank you!

You're the BEST 👏👏👏

Very helpful, it worked it my 1999 E 250 ford van. I never had heard about hitting the horn and pull the lights switch on trick. Very cool, l thank you so much now I just hope my idiot light stays off.

You saved my 100$ Thank you so much

Would this work for a 2016 Chevy Impala?

Bro thank you it worked on a 1995 Toyota Celica ST

After you disconnect your negative terminal and let it sit, when you press the horn do you need to put the key in the ignition to the ON position and then press the horn or Should it work without having the key in the ON position?? Hope this question makes sense.

I just did this and check engine light is now off. Cheers.

It helped me but does this help with the battery draining over night

Thank you so much 😊 I’ll definitely give this a try

Wow,thanks

Autozone said disconnect red cable. Can't trust anybody anymore lol. Thanks for video!

Will your horn sound while your battery will be discharged or not? I've tried to discharge it but it didn't work.. EML still on for some reason

i'm actually pleasantly shocked this worked~! Man- you are a hero! Now I can sell this van - I love it - but I need a truck suspension for the mountains-

Thank you it worked, know I have to turn off the air bag light

Excellent Video and Audio and Camera work, You should tutor folks DIY! Also, isn't just a terrible Car Industry Money Grab, what I mean is, the electronic Dash is a big screen, Couldn't the Auto Industry just put On the Dash Screen in Language what the Real problem is??? 2024 and we have to dismantle our own perfect battery, so the Car stops giving us a bogus unknown hang up in the car's Intelligent ?? Computer!!!! However DIY, you did an excellent job!! Thank You!! Well Done!!

Perfect. This worked on my Nissan Altima 2005, and easy for a girl to do. Thank you.

My friend thinks I'm a liar but your video will make him feel like little boy thank you for the video I love this video we watch video because I say hey watch video and they play the video

Will this mess up all of the other features I have with my 2010 F-150?

My solara was very picky about the type of driving needed to recollect the data required for a smog test after doing this. I had to go through the whole drive cycle outlined for my vehicle to get it to work.

I undo the Positive side and that works .

You can also just disconnect both battery terminals and then hold them together for about a minute. This will drain all energy.

Do you think I'll be able to pass state inspection after resetting the check engine light?

You the best

Does this work with all cars?

As soon as you said it's back behind the brake fluid I looked in the hose was disconnected I hooked it back up I got breaks thanks

Personally i like the engine light on, i believe it actually makes the car more valuable.

Did this and brought on more lights that was on before! Great.

worked on my 07 Hyundai tiburon 🎉

Doing this not only didn’t fix the engine light, it made my fuel meter stop working, 10/10 would advise to my enemies 👌🏼

Will the horn “sound” when I try the second method? Like should I go to an isolated place or can I stay in my parking garage 😂

Does someone know, will the check engine light reset by itself after some time if for instance the problem was caused by a second hand reason such as a faulty or wet wire or connection?

So in that temporary time, could said person go pass an E-Check? Theoretically

good

Nice tip !

you rock!!!!!! worked!

Cool video but why not just hit the horn and lights while u got the cable off the first time🤔
