how to perform a reset for the check engine light in my Toyota Camry XV70 (2018-2024)?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, vehicle owner's manual.
• Ensure the vehicle is in a safe location with the engine turned off and the keys removed.

2. Connect OBD-II Scanner

• Locate the OBD-II port under the dashboard, typically near the driver's side.
• Connect the OBD-II scanner to the port.

3. Read and Clear Codes

• Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine.
• Navigate through the OBD-II scanner menu to select "Read Codes" to check for any stored error codes.
• After reviewing the codes, select the option to "Clear Codes" or "Erase Codes" on the scanner. This will reset the check engine light.

4. Disconnect the Scanner

• After the codes are cleared, safely disconnect the OBD-II scanner from the port.
• Turn off the ignition.

5. Verify Reset

• Start the vehicle and allow it to idle for a few minutes.
• Check if the check engine light remains off.
