jaebeam Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 2001 Subaru Legacy L My check engine light went on. Gas cap is tight. Just had the 90,000 mile service done. Battery was replaced, I've read that you have to reset CEL after replacing battery on some cars, figured it was a good "punt" regardless. Just can't find how to do reset the check engine light however. Any insight woudl be grand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 JE, you will need a code reader tool After reading the code that caused the CEL then clear it with the tool. Most Autozones stores will do this service for free. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yes even basic scan tools should be able to reset the MIL/CEL. But optimally you want to read the code(s) first so you'll know why the light is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
