how to reset the check engine light on my Honda CR-V Sixth Generation (2023-present)?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, ratchet and socket set (if disconnecting the battery)
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is turned off.

2. Using an OBD-II Scanner

• Step 1: Connect the OBD-II scanner to the vehicle's diagnostic port, typically located under the dashboard.
• Step 2: Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
• Step 3: Follow the scanner's prompts to navigate to the "Erase Codes" or "Reset" function.
• Step 4: Confirm the reset when prompted. The check engine light should turn off if the underlying issue is resolved.

3. Disconnecting the Battery (Optional)

• Step 1: Use a socket wrench to loosen the negative battery terminal clamp.
• Step 2: Remove the negative cable from the battery terminal and wait for approximately 10-15 minutes.
• Step 3: Reconnect the negative battery terminal and tighten the clamp securely.
• Step 4: Start the engine and check if the check engine light is off.
