    Just cleared the engine check light on my 2012 VOLVO S80. I just removed the neutral cable for about a minute and finished it. Thank you very much.

      But can it pass emissions because according to what he just said, it won’t. So it defeats the purpose

    No all you have to do is disconnect the negative cable from the post allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes then reconnect start the car The engine light will go off now you have to reset the computer and you have to drive it to set it

    I got my intake/exhaust solenoids and map sensor replaced on my 06 HHR. Is it ok to clear the check engine light then? I have to get emissions test before the month is up.

      Y'all know the check engine light comes on for a reason right!? They don't just pop on to annoy you. Yes it could be something very simple (loose gas cap) also could be the start of something very serious.

    My car is a Nissan Sylphy 1.6 Auto manufactured in 2024. I used your unplug battery terminals method and it worked !!! If I go to Nissan Service Centre, they may tell me some bull & cock story and I will be completely at their mercy. I do have a query though. What if there is a fault in the engine somewhere and unplugging the battery terminals simply reset the computer in the car but does not address the real engine issue. Then what ? Then its a matter of time the computer will pick up that same fault again and Darth Vader in the form of that dreaded engine warning light will reappear ? Anyway, Darth Vader aside, thank you for uploading your video to share your "How To Fix" tips.

And if not have to go come back so I can take it and have the mechanic do the job. Or better diagnose the problem that way I do not do the stupid thing and parts Canon the vehicle
