Hey Now Tampa Tec...
Great video and information about this technology. I really appreciate it
I'm a tech who also lives in Tampa (via Philadelphia)
Good job my friend,
Matty.
+I Am The SONOFOVERBROOK thanks, I tried to fix some parts few people were upset about but can't edit this video, so I made a better version "4 WAYS TO RESET CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" goo.gl/xsfnoJ

what 's up with all the negative comments, this video was just explaining how to reset the light, not fix any problems. so STFU ! I came here to find out about reset and I am happy for this video!!!!!!!! thanks for the video!
Was about to take my Mazda 5 into the dealership, would have cost 115 just to look at it. I already knew that the gas cap had been left off, but the engine light wasn't re-setting after it was screwed on properly. Your video just saved me the time, trip, and expense. Well done and thanks!
You are a Godsend, my first day for college and my engine light goes on. I'm a single lady and am broke at this time. I LOVE CZcams for all the helpful videos and yours showed me that my gas cap was barely on. Hope that is the fix. Thank You again for saving my mind. Brenda
Why is everyone so negitive? He is only trying to help! I thank him for his insight and his time for making the video. It may not work for long but it will pass inspection.
nope,!!! it won't and it will turn back on between 2 to 5 miles. and one last thing you don't have to wait 5 minutes for the computer to reset. once you disconnect the cable it resets QUICKLY.
Trina Cote no it won't pass inspection
You are a GENIUS - thank you so much for your advice on canceling out the 'check engine light' - it worked like a charm!
Thank you for your video, I never thought the gas cap could be the reason why my check light was on, but couple days ago I went to the gas station to fill up the tank, then close the cap and realized couple blocks away that the light went off. I almost spent a lot of money buying the converter and sensors online. Thank you for sharing this video!
Just wanted to thank you. This saved my ass. My Mitsubishi Endeavor's light would not turn off. The dealer charged me $110 just for the privilege of speaking to them about it, where they proceeded to hand me a bill for over $3000 in repairs, insisting I would not pass an emissions test without all of it. I yanked the negative on the battery for a couple minutes, plugged it back in, completed the drive cycle (about 40 mi. of city and highway driving), and the light never came back on. Passed emissions without a single error. Thank you, thank you!

This is so good to know. I was about to take my 2002 Ford Taurus to the garage before I saw this video. I have never replaced the original gas cap, so I'm definitely going to head to Amazon first, and then I will do the ground battery routine. I love the internet. I save so much money this way.
[Just got back from the parking lot] Thanks man! You've saved the day!

Thank you very much !!! I had the same problem and I was quoted £698 to fix it. Your advise resolved the problem.
Well thank you for this video. This was driving me nuts on my 2013 Impala LTZ. Works as advertised.
Whoa!!
This works on my 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan So so so easy to do, it took me 5 minutes. Awesome!! Thank you a bounch my friend.
Thank you soon much for this video!!! Just tried it and IT WORKED!!!!!! My husband pumped my gas the other day with the engine running which we never do and it keep reading my gas cap.
Hey vise grips are fine and I've done some amazing things with them in the last 48 yrs
Thanks my friend!!!...very helpful.
You are the best man! thanks a lot it worked for me
I borrowed my girl friend's car and engine check sign came up, she would have killed me if I had messed up with the engine, you saved my ass!
thanks again
Wicked, worked a treat, I had run for a while without the temp sensor so it threw up the engine management light, I then had a new starter put on it (which is why the wire was disconnected because it worked with the lead off (management system thinks cars cold so heats the plugs so a worn starter will start the car). Anyway all sorted now, thanks.
Thanks for this video. I will try this. And yes, happy wife is a happy life! True words from a genius :-). I have a '97 Toyota Camry and the mechanic looked it over before I bought the car 4 months ago, and said I'd eventually need to have it fixed. I'll check the gas cap again, but I don't remember an issue with it. I'll try to reset the check engine light by the end of the weekend and hopefully it works.
I want to thank you so very much, Yesterday I changed my filter in the car and I drove about 20 miles on my way back home my engine light came on, but I just changed the sensor in march. I will put back the old filter and try your way. Thanks a million.
try unplug both battery connections for 5 minutes, that works for me.
You just know this guy is to be trusted. He removed the bolt on his battery terminals with a non insulated set of mole grips #professional
Very helpful. Worked on my Corolla 2012 model.
good for you for doing it yourself people could save so much money watching videos like yours
This was very interesting and helpful! I will definitely use this video to reset! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this video. It helped a lot :o)
Hey man had that problem I have a new car so I shouldn't have any problems saw ur video tried it worked thanks man U save me some MONEY
Thanks for this tip, Tampatec. I may have a faulty gas cap and will test it to be sure.
Good. Always use the right tools for the job. In this case a wrench otherwise eventually you'll mess up the nut on the battery clamp.
Good technique. Most cars today needs a scan tool to trouble shoot the check engine light and to reset it. The negative battery technique don't work for them. Regards,
thanks million man that was really helpfull u saved my money mine went on and I was panacking than I watched ur video and checked the gas cap and than I started no dash lights at all thanks verymuch
Bro, I will try your idea!! but that was awesome line!! HAPPY WIFE IS HAPPY LIFE lol.. God bless both of you always.
thank u i had the same problem and i am very happy i fix it .
excellent video! thx mate.
"Happy Wife is a Happy Life" - you made me SMILE and I LIKED. Thank you
Worked great on my Kia Forte, many thanks.
As long as the problem is there the CL light will come on again. It looks like your problem is a fairly common one easy to pin point and solve. One good advise is never to tighten the gas cap in a rapid way. I spent a lot of money on 02 Santa Fe until I realized and then learned to close the cap slowly and not more than three ticks. This may work for some as well.
i was so damn happy when i found out that mine was simply a loose gas cap too! just solved this issue and now im about to start drinking haha.
Thank you so much!!! I did this all by myself today!!! Thanks again
@ Tampatec, thank you very much for posting this video.
thanks bro..its work..
thank you, it works
worked like a charm. thank you
great video dude!!!!😃 thank you... have a nice day.
thanks for the tip man
worked on a mazda cx7, thanks!!
Just tried this out on my 2006 Ford Falcon XR6 BF and it worked great!! You're a life saver!
It works! Fixed my 2004 ford f250 5.4
It worked!!!Thanks a lot man !!!!
Thank you. I forgot to ask my husband before he went to work, & its time to do an inspection. :-)
Great- It works for my Corsa - Thanks mate.
OMG!!!! you are not going to believe this but, my light had been on for over a year and I'd taken it to many mechanics and it seemed like no one knew how to get the light to go off. They took out this scanner and did some reading and I had things replaced that I was told that needed replacing. Afterwards the light went off to only come back on after driving a couple of miles. I'm not saying the light will not come back on but they did not know something so simple would make it go off. If it stays off I will come back and repost and let everyone know. Not that is probably matters but...Tampatec, thank you for posting this to youtube. I am subscribing to your channel for sure. Thank you. Now I got to get her smoged and serviced. She need it so badly.
Hmmmm...looks like a good tip. Will try tomorrow. The light just came on in my car tonight.
Had not driven it for about 2 and a half months. And just changed to a new battery too. Hopefully it's just the electronics messing around and nothing serious
So basically i should buy a big ass toolkit on ebay but still use a Tool that is not at all made for the task.
Thank you for THAT brilliant piece of advice.
I have a Mazda Mx5 nd if you remove the battery it needs the tyre pressure sensor resetting the tracker alarm recalibrating and a couple of other items it's easier to just do the clutch brake sequence to reset the E Management warning light as long as you know what the reason for it is.
However this was a useful bit of info for those who cannot locate the reset sequence on line.
nice. going to try this on my rav4, hope it works.
This worked for my Toy. PU Tacoma 6 cyl. but the light came back on, so it is probably my MAF sensor.
dayumm bro .. you made that light go away like "bye felicia "
Thank you very much my bro!!..Muchas gracias!!
Thanks a lot.really helpful.
Thanks for your efforts and your attempt to be helpful. I would like to repeat the caution noted by several others that you should always use a wrench of the proper size when removing a nut. If I see a mechanic who is working on my car attempt to use pliers or channel locks to remove a nut, I ask him to use the proper wrench. I would not return to his shop. My thinking is that if he's slipshod about using the correct tool, he is likely to be slipshod on other issues.
wowwww what a genius,,, 24 hours later the light will be back on...
+ocimar lacerda right
hahaha 20 miles later!!! lol
Thanks, very helpful.
It worked. Thanks
You saved my money
FIX THE PROBLEM FIRST. Resetting the C/E light is done only AFTER the problem that caused the C/E is fixed. If you don't fix the problem that caused your C/E light to come on and reset the light, the light will come back on.
i bet the light was back on the next day 😂
Thank you!
worked in my 2005 Toyota Corolla LE! thanks!
Thanks for sharing. Here are a couple things that might help you n the future:
1. If you are going to suggest to viewers that they buy a tool kit, I would suggest that they buy a wrench to remove the battery terminal instead of locking pliers. Using anything other than a wrench or socket will damage the nut, making it harder to tighten and loosen the next time.
2. The only part of the gas cap that matters is the seal around the top. Yours looked fine. As long as the cap locks down tight against the top of the filler tube, and the seal isn't cracked/damaged, its fine.
3. It can take up to 100 miles of driving after a "battery reset" to throw the same error codes. This isn't a fix, it just turns the check engine light off. The problem that turned the light on is still there, and will not go away by turning the light off. Think of this as removing the bulb behind the check engine light icon in your dash. The light isn't on, but the problem is.
Take care, and good luck with your van.
LOL this video is Funny to anyone that knows vehicle maintenance.
May be he only knows a few, but he shares.. what have you done for others?
Always gotta be a troll in the comments
way to go use a vice grip on a battery terminal 😅
Lol. For real. I'm not A Technician but I like to work on my cars when something Is wrong with It.
My husband will do what you said in your video. I'll post the results. We have a Honda Civic 2004 and the engine light is on since about 10 months ago. Everything seems to ok, but the light is still on. Thank you for sharing.
sometimes its bad o2 sensor or air in gastank. Fix problem or check engine light will activate again. good luck 8^)
Thanks for your video that it clear and very usefull. I have a Jetta 2010.
That's the same thing as doing a "hard reboot" on your laptop, smartphone, or tablet (unplug from the charger, remove the battery, wait 30 seconds, reinstall the battery, and turn it on). In many cases, this will also wipe out some rather nasty viruses.
Awsome vid,.....used it to correct my mother-in-law's problem!
+Charles Domingue you didnt solve the problem, just turn off lamps, but i think now is on again, right
Then I suggest you go to AutoZone. They'll diagnose the check engine light for free.
Thanks so much I fixed my car after failing emissions test, and couldn't get the light to turn off.
OMG... Thank you for the post brother !!!... I hope tht works for me... gata 2005 Mazda3...
Thank you so much! I was gonna take car to mechanic for check engine light 99 honda civic. Watched your video, gas cap wasn't on tight, reset as per your instruction.
mark y FYI... if you have a loose gas cap, you don't need to clear the code. It should clear on it's own after some drive time.
John Hilman it didn't, so i had to reset it...99 honda civic
mark y
What we have learned to today:
Tools can be used in a strange way. OMG :D
Just did it to my 2007 Chevy Cobalt. Worked 100%. Thanks dude.
thanx this helped alot.Appreciate it!
The best way get a new cap from the car delayer ship
A happy wife is a broke Hubby..
😆 I just saw this years later but hope my wife doesn't.
Good stuff/info, thanks.
Thanks for the info. My light came on my 2000 Explorer. Every thing is running very well. Will try that reset.
A happy wife is a happy life..Love that..
When you turn your gas cap and hear the clicks it helps sometimes to turn it an extra 3 to 4 times.
YES, thank you it worked for me
Thanks for your help. I had an Engine Light on, On my wife 1994 Toyota Lancruiser and I follow your awesome instructions and Boom the Engine Light was gone Thanks. I though at the beginning that it needs a spark plugs, cables, rotor etc, But the problems still was there. Thanks to your help after I watch your video The light went out...
temp fix. code reader would be best then you know whats wrong then you fix it then clear it . the battery trick does not fix the problem just makes the light go away for awhile, one thing to also note on some cars when you pull the battery good luck starting your car again unless you take it to the dealer to be totally reprogrammed and that's costly. good video tho. P.S when pulling the battery Waite 10 min then reconnect it.
Totally Agreed, Smart Comment well put 8^)
***** thank you ,,have merry christmas
Had the old battery out of the Tahoe for a few hours until I could get a ride to the store for a new one. Put it in and it started right up, ready to go! I might be wrong here, but at least in my finite experience GM has the best "user friendly" automotive electronics out there. Having to have a dead car reprogrammed at the dealer sounds like a towing charge unless you got a buddy willing to hook up a strap and pull you in. Is that a VW or Chrysler ? :-)
i have never seen a car when you unhook the battery you have to go get the computer reprogrammed... so if someones battery dies on them they cant boost the car, cant replace the battery, they just take it to a dealer? makes no sense to me.
satanastic some cars have to be dealer reset or the car wont start again, i seen a few of them . for the most part in cars they will reset and reprogram them selfs you just drive it on the hwy for 1 hour at 80 to 100 kph and all done . this does not fix a code problem just delays it coming back on for maybe 5 min or a few days depending on the code it wont do a dam thing to take the battery off line to reset the computer,
Hint...when working around a battery...take off your rings....Last thing you need to do is touch the pole on the battery and have your ring hit the side of the body....there goes your finger....burned to a crisp. Use caution.
Good video and helpful too!
Good advice for when you've made a repair and need to see if you've fixed the problem, if code stays off then good to go! ;)
And he breaks out the Vise grips wow what a PROFESSIONAL I want hims to teaches me how to fix them things and trucks too Ohboy I will be the bestest mechanical guy anywheres yuppers MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He never said any of that. This is just a diy video. Why are you here if you are just heckling?
+An Ordinary Dog It's misleading bullshit. People here have been mislead already and it delays their ability to pass a smog test.
+An Ordinary Do ::: you are so correct with your comment this is DIY and I HAVE had mechanics PROFESSIONAL MECHANICS Tell me to do the same thing after they have ran all the diagnostic test and found nothing wrong with the car other then this light was defective and it would cost way more to replace the light then was needed some people just look for reasons to belittle and complain. they have nothing better to do !
Lynn Reedy I dont know if I should be taking your word. Please understand as there are a lot of one legged astronaut PhD Emperor Ambassadors on the internet.
Thanks the light is back on 5 minutes later
thank you sir, it worked! :)
It worked! Thanks!
Yeap...time to go and get it inspected...HEHE
170324341a
Here on the front range in Colorado (9 county area) if they even see a check light on you'll never make it to testing, and no charge either.
170324341a good thing for me haha i have a 91 celica
Also, remove the positive connection from the battery and hold it to the negative post for 30 seconds or so.
I tryed to do this but i couldn't do it for 30 seconds it was just really painful .. am i doing something wrong???
Thanks, can't wait to try it, I have been saying your last remark for years!!! LOL!! That works tooo!!
thanks, and "yes dear" works too. also if she asks, "how do i look?" always reply "you look awesome" even if she really looks stupid 8^)
It worked like a charm, thanks! I don't get the 'how do i look' question anymore, i am afraid i am a bit more truthful than most ,lol, but we are still together, lol.
thank you it worked..and i used the same tools!..lol thumbs up!
