disconnect your battery for about 20 sec that will clear it for a little while

take it to an auto place, they just hook it up to a lil machine thing, and turn it off, and they never charge me.
i usually don't tighten my gas cap thingy tight enough, and that's why mine comes on.

watch the banner ads at the top of the forum, keep refreshing the page and you'll eventually see the ad for Eurotech. i believe they will read the codes for free if i remember correctly. then instead of half assing it to sell it you can fix it properly.

Most of the time engine light can come on without any engine codes. You need a obd 2 device to check for engine codes and turn them off.
