3 FREE ways are #1 disconnecting battery terminal connection for 1 minute #2 disconnect battery connection then hold horn or use headlights to discharge energy in circuit # disconnect both battery connections and use jumper #4 use OBD2 tool

* When working on electronics act at your own risk, follow your electronics safety manual and / or NEC safety codes, unplug power and properly discharge capacitors in circuit safely.

*Some of these products I buy myself and some I receive to produce a Howto guide and review for companies but I DON'T get $$$ for product reviews.

THE 3 FREE WAYS ARE
1. disconnecting battery terminal connection for 1 minute (free)
2. disconnect battery connection then hold horn or use headlights to discharge remaining energy in circuit (free)
3. disconnect both battery connections and wait 1 minute
4th way is best but not free, use OBD2 tool with toque app to reset or troubleshoot codes ($19)

This worked for me. Thanks for the tip. My gas cap was the issue, I guess I didn’t tighten it enough after fuelling. The check engine light was still showing so I tried your tip and it worked well. 👊🏼

After hundreds put into part replacements I Just want to say I used the 2nd method
And it cleared my check enengine light on my 03 navigator, I drove from Denver to Salt lake city and no check engine light came on I was able to use this truck as a trade in. So thanks for the tip.

Great video. I actually have an OBD2 and the paid version of the Torque App. Mainly for a previous car I had as someone mentioned you could see accurate gas readings. However I also used it to reset the check engine light a couple of times which I believe was because of the gas cap.

After watching other videos on the same topic, your video is the best. You get right to the point explaining everything in detail. In addition, your voice is clear and don’t speak too fast. Again thanks for sharing young man....

Tried the first step and it worked. Couldn't believe it. Thank you.

[pandoraish]

thanks! turning on the lights and waiting 60 seconds helped. another video recommended 10 seconds, which didn't work in my case.

Awesome and thanks for sharing! Disconnecting the negative terminal on my 2008 Honda CR-V solved the problem.

[drugbedevictorahiaba]

Thank you so much. I have been paying someone to reset this thing almost every now and then. I will figure this out.

Fantastic advice, cleared my check engine light no problem, thank you for your help.

Thanks dude. I have 2014 F350 and 3 times the check engine has come on and the dealer found no issues but as long as the check engine light is on it disables my remote start which is a B in the winter. Now I can clear the stoopid codes.
