engine check light on

[nikstik]

Hay guys would you believe both ve wagons we have now suddenly have the engine check lights on Is there a way to reset it on the dash? both cars have had a service recently.
Would a low oil level cause this?

Both V6's and approx 100k's?

Disconnect the battery for 10 mins perhaps.

will try it, going to get a scan tool just to read the codes if any.

I'd check what the error codes are before resetting them... Plenty of threads on how to scan codes with a cheap OBD reader

I get the check engine light every time my fuel gauge gets to about 1/3 and the code shows high voltage on fuel sensor...............but that's another story :s

Curious but what reader did you get?

If the cars were serviced recently, you might of been able to take it back and say there is a check engine light on. They could have checked the codes for free since they did a job recently.

My mechanic is pretty good, reads codes for free for me. Then we figure out the best way to go.
