If your CEL (Check Engine Light) is on the first thing you must do is figure out what's the problem and fix it.
Click Here to figure out how to read the code to see what's the problem
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the problem is fixed, now you must reset the ECU to clear the CEL.
This is the light that will be on
Now, you will need some type of fuse pulling tool
Now, while the car is off go to the passenger side fuse box, and pull out the number 13 (7.5) fuse. Leave it out for 30sec.
If, for any reason you can't locate that fuse, or you have a problem retracting it, there's another option.
Go to the fusebox under the hood and pull out the 40amp fuse labeled back up/accessory.
After leaving the fuse out for 30sec, re install it and if all goes well, the stored code should be cleared because you've reset the ECU and the CEL should no longer be lit.
IF you can, remove the fuse in the fuse box on the passenger side of the car. That way only the clock will be reset.
If you remove the fuse under the hood, you'll reset the clock, radio, trip meter, and thermostat settings.
If you've reset the ECU, started the car and the CEL is still lit, there's another code that exists that you have to pull, or you haven't fixed the existing problem.
