Hi
My engine management light has just come on, everything seems fine when driving, is there any way of getting the error codes without diagnostic equipment? also is there anyway of reseting the light, and then if it comes on again I will take it to the dealer?

Thanks for any advice

 

Most auto parts stores (e.g. Advance Auto in these parts) have a scan tool they will let you borrow to get the codes, then you can Google them. I usually buy at least a little something after I borrow the scan tool.

Disconnecting the 12V battery (under the hood) for a couple minutes will clear the codes, at least temporarily. Be aware that after you re-connect the battery you will probably have to reset your radio code so have it handy.

Good luck...

 

Thanks for this, I disconnected battery, re -connected, great news lights gone out. I guess if there is a fault the light will come back on, but hopefully not.
