Solution
1. Preparation
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
  • Turn off the ignition and remove the key.
  • Tools required: OBD-II scanner.
2. Connect OBD-II Scanner
  • Plug the OBD-II scanner into the vehicle's OBD-II port, typically located under the dashboard near the driver's seat.
  • Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
3. Clear the Codes
  • Follow the scanner’s instructions to navigate to the "Erase Codes" or "Clear Codes" option.
  • Confirm the action when prompted by the scanner. This will clear the stored DTCs and turn off the check engine light if no underlying issues exist.
4. Disconnect Scanner
  • Once the codes are cleared, safely disconnect the OBD-II scanner from the port.
  • Turn off the ignition and then restart the vehicle to confirm the check engine light is off.
