Just wanted to thank you. This saved my ass. My Mitsubishi Endeavor's light would not turn off. The dealer charged me $110 just for the privilege of speaking to them about it, where they proceeded to hand me a bill for over $3000 in repairs, insisting I would not pass an emissions test without all of it. I yanked the negative on the battery for a couple minutes, plugged it back in, completed the drive cycle (about 40 mi. of city and highway driving), and the light never came back on. Passed emissions without a single error. Thank you, thank you!

As long as the problem is there the CL light will come on again. It looks like your problem is a fairly common one easy to pin point and solve. One good advise is never to tighten the gas cap in a rapid way. I spent a lot of money on 02 Santa Fe until I realized and then learned to close the cap slowly and not more than three ticks. This may work for some as well.

Anyway all sorted now, thanks.

Thanks for sharing. Here are a couple things that might help you n the future: 1. If you are going to suggest to viewers that they buy a tool kit, I would suggest that they buy a wrench to remove the battery terminal instead of locking pliers. Using anything other than a wrench or socket will damage the nut, making it harder to tighten and loosen the next time. 2. The only part of the gas cap that matters is the seal around the top. Yours looked fine. As long as the cap locks down tight against the top of the filler tube, and the seal isn't cracked/damaged, its fine. 3. It can take up to 100 miles of driving after a "battery reset" to throw the same error codes. This isn't a fix, it just turns the check engine light off. The problem that turned the light on is still there, and will not go away by turning the light off. Think of this as removing the bulb behind the check engine light icon in your dash. The light isn't on, but the problem is. Take care, and good luck with your van.

OMG!!!! you are not going to believe this but, my light had been on for over a year and I'd taken it to many mechanics and it seemed like no one knew how to get the light to go off. They took out this scanner and did some reading and I had things replaced that I was told that needed replacing. Afterwards the light went off to only come back on after driving a couple of miles. I'm not saying the light will not come back on but they did not know something so simple would make it go off. If it stays off I will come back and repost and let everyone know. Not that is probably matters but...Tampatec, thank you for posting this to youtube. I am subscribing to your channel for sure. Thank you. Now I got to get her smoged and serviced.

That's the same thing as doing a "hard reboot" on your laptop, smartphone, or tablet (unplug from the charger, remove the battery, wait 30 seconds, reinstall the battery, and turn it on). In many cases, this will also wipe out some rather nasty viruses.

I unhooked my battery cable then hooked it back up and the engine light turned off. Then I went to get my inspection and they hooked it up to an "EVAP" machine and it detected that the engine light was on. How can I get past this issue? YOU MENTIONED THAT REMOVING THE FUSE AND PUTTING IT BACK RESET THE COMPUTER, WILL THAT HELP BYPASS THE "EVAP" DEVICE? I live in North Carolina and they are real strict about inspection.

dont expect to reset your check eng. light and then pass the state inspection. I am a state inspector for mass. If you reset the check engine your vehicle will not have the monitors ready (o2 sensor, cat, emissions, ect.) so good luck. also this wont damage your car but like some people have said. it will reset everything and unless you know how to program your sunroof, power mirrors and sometimes radio you may have to take it to the dealer for a little bit of money.

I worked in emissions repair for years until recently when I started at the University...locking gas caps are notorious for leaking. A standard gas cap with a good soft rubber seal is perfect. Now, idiots at auto zone saying there was "air in the tank" needs to be fired. There's ALWAYS air in the tank. When the system doesn't pressurize properly, due to a leak, the computer sees there isn't enough flow coming into the carbon canister and throws this light. Most times it's a gas cap, but the code reads a leak SOMEWHERE in the system. Now, you may have reset the MIL and set all of the emissions "readiness indicators" to "Not Ready", but when the drive cycle is completed, the light may come back on. Until the system hits proper conditions to test the pressure of the fuel storage system, the light stays out, but the "readiness indicator" for that particular system is not set as "ready". If too many (more than 3 in AZ) are not yet "ready", you are told to look up and drive the "drive cycle" for your vehicle.

Thanks for your efforts and your attempt to be helpful. I would like to repeat the caution noted by several others that you should always use a wrench of the proper size when removing a nut. If I see a mechanic who is working on my car attempt to use pliers or channel locks to remove a nut, I ask him to use the proper wrench. I would not return to his shop. My thinking is that if he's slipshod about using the correct tool, he is likely to be slipshod on other issues.

'99 Chevy Tahoe here. Got the light and used the free meter at O'Reillys. The interpretation I got from an old boy at the counter was that a vacuum leak is usually a failed gas cap. Put the new cap on and the light went right out. Another unrelated problem I had where I did the battery trick.. and the light came back on in less than half a minute.

Most people who turn the CEL off simply to make it go away will just end up screwing this up horribly. They'll either disconnect the positive terminal and short it against the body, strip the nut using the wrong tool like you did, and in some cases probably not even find the battery depending on manufacturer. Not to mention if they don't have their radio code, the alarm system resets, etc. More trouble than it is worth. Idk why you didn't just have autozone clear the code for you if that's all you wanted. Or better yet just stick a piece of tape over the light if you're not interested in diagnosing the real problem.

David Phillips Just be very careful not to ground out the positive while disconnecting the battery. It could explode.

I have a Mazda Mx5 nd if you remove the battery it needs the tyre pressure sensor resetting the tracker alarm recalibrating and a couple of other items it's easier to just do the clutch brake sequence to reset the E Management warning light as long as you know what the reason for it is. However this was a useful bit of info for those who cannot locate the reset sequence on line.

When you turn your gas cap and hear the clicks it helps sometimes to turn it an extra 3 to 4 times.

Definitely get the reader, you can diagnose many problems with one of those. No point in resetting the engine light unless you can read the codes first, and the reader will reset it for you.

The cap seals on the brown rubber gasket inside . Yours is fine. The thread are a little rough, but serviceable.

Tung Quach Most times false engine lights ,airbag lights etc.: are all caused by faulty batteries.. replace your battery with a good quality battery and your trouble's will disappear.

+Alexander Bertt Most times? False. Most systems work at a low enough voltage that battery drain does not effect it, as it will with a Mercedes, BMW, Volvo or VW for example. As for the passenger airbag, there are plenty of reasons, including faulty connectors as mentioned or the seat sensor pad, which are far more common than a low battery. MOST are ALL caused? nope.

I really like that you undid the battery terminal with metal vice grips...I know you think this was informative and useful, but by not figuring out what is wrong with your vehicle, you're putting yourself and others at risk for a huge issue while on the road. I'm not an expert but I have a years experience under a very skilled mechanic and am on NY way to AES cert. I wouldn't recommend using this for as month to month fix, but what do I know...I'm just a girl...
