Hello, does anyone know how to disable the check engine light?
Autozone said the code had to do withthe emissions and the car should run ok..
the check engine light is just annoying.

If anyone knows how to turn this off i would appreciate it.

Rather that trust Autozone to do other than pull codes I would ask what the code # was?? There is a way to turn off the light but not permanently disable other than removing the bulb which would not be a good idea as you would not be informed of any serious concerns later on. What Autozone considers a minor emmision problem could mean more is why I was asking the code #.

I am also having a check engine light problem. When it came on several weeks ago, I took the car to a mechanic who found a Co2 sensor beginning to go bad. He replaced it, rescanned the codes, and all was well. As I was leaving the shop the light came back on. I went back in and the mechanic came out with his hand scanner. We drove around for 10 minutes or so with the scanner on and he could find no problems. He said to watch it for at least 2 weeks to see if it reset itself. It hasn't. It did go off for about 15 minutes once, but has remained on since. A friend suggested unhooking the battery, then hooking it back up, but that didn't work either. The car runs well. Is there a way to reset the light or the car's computer?
